Pretty sure Star Trek is actually full on communism given that they're a classless and moneyless society.

you are correct. though the path to that kind of communism leads through the socialist stage of development

Incidentally, I thought this was an excellent explanation of the relationship between socialist and communist phases of development https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/3228-lenin-s-three-theoretical-arguments-about-the-dictatorship-of-the-proletariat
