Much of the 1970's Sci-Fi was written as the natural progression of the communist state in power.
Logan's Run & THX-1138 come quickly to mind.

I was surprised in watching “Miracle on 34th Street” last year that the protagonists were so very proud of being “progressive”.
Progressive in child rearing, education and political beliefs.
It was a snapshot of NYC back in the days of socialist propaganda - and those folks seemed almost conservative compared to the Commies in charge today.
In the major cities today, the political elite posture to be “more Marxist than thou”.

Because Star Trek, one of the biggest communist utopias ever written, was a hit in the 60s. By the time the 1980s came around, people were a little wiser. The Borg were the ultimate communists.

most dystopias have an all-controlling state. in fact i can’t think of one that doesn’t. all totalitarian, mostly socialist style.
