That imagine with the flying cars must be the inspiration for them in Star Wars.

Have never dug into it all but some of HG Wells’ politics have seemed globalist utopian.

Lol. And we were supposed to to have reached Mars in 2001, Space Odyssey.
Not Mars, but Jupiter. We were supposed to have several colonies on the moon.

He was a Communist. Even mentioned it a bit in “The Time Machine” of wanting to see what a future Socialist/Marxist society of “equality” would look like (they took all that out in the film adaptations). We know now what it does look like in practice: totalitarianism, no electric power, and human $hit on the sidewalks and streets.

I probably have some of that wrongYes, you got some of that wrong, but it was without question "Things to Come" (based on the book "The Shape of Things to Come," by H.G. Wells), starring Raymond Massey.

That was H.G Well’s “Things To Come’’. Raymond Masse is the man in the helicopter/balloon flying machine. Ralph Richards plays “The Boss’’, the tribal chief.

What is interesting is that the old fashioned Commies wanted tight control of borders so that they could steal stuff from prosperous citizens.
It would never have occurred to them to import starving third world people to bankrupt the system—since they actually wanted their Commie world to work.

Well, first they’ve got to destroy the country (Cloward-Piven) and then they remake their dystopian utopia. Something nightmarish like “Harrison Bergeron” or some such, as per their ludicrous obsession with “equality.”

It looks like a red pill... and I guess the movie was made before Pan Am went belly up in 1991.

Well... he was a Fabian socialist, albeit briefly, as I recall he thought of them as slackers.

“Equality” is just a talking point.
The lefties want to have the elite rulers and their families living like kings, and everyone else “equal” as their slaves.
