There's literally an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise where humans discover alien replicator technology for the very first time
Earth by that point is clearly post-capitalist with Captain Jonathan Archer either being the first or second generation to grow up in a utopian earth
Which is also the episode that they blow up the alien space dock station because it abducted a main cast member... Well it's less offensive to your intelligence (or otherwise) than the actual red alert origin episode (why they say "go to tactical alert" rather than red or yellow alert...), seriously why did we need an episode's B plot (that later invades the A plot) dedicated to the phrase "go to red alert"?
Almost like a technological advance like matter replication can only be developed by a post-capitalist society, or it would just be immediately restricted to the elite of society and used to maintain capitalist relations
Why do we have a Ferengi Marx emoji when it could just be Rom?
And then it's literally centuries more before humans are actually using replicators. Archer's ship has a cook, Kirk's has protein resequencers that make brightly colored edible cubes of something.
