Forum:Why is th Federation so primitive?

The Federation may have pretty advanced technology, but their government is very primitive. It is reminiscient of the Facists, Nazis, Mycenae, Imperial Rome, and other Oligarchies. This can be seen in several ways, firstly, they have a tier of citizenship. This means the government by nature is inequal and oppressive. Such a form of government is hardly even equal to any modern socialist or democratic forms of governance let alone more evolved. Residents of this so called advanced alien culture are mistreated unfairly. Even if some members of one group or race ever exhibited violent tendencies for example, this is a poor excuse to behave like barbaric tyrants towards any whole group or species. The reason this is troubling with respect to the story is that it means that neither the Federation nor the terror group of Revi, are the good side, in fact both are evil. One can not in all honesty root for either but perhaps both destroy each other and leave the non evil remainder of the universe alone. It's rather troubling that no character seems to be aware of this fact. This means so far the only good sides maybe the Earth, the Alliance, or the old empire. The latter two only because as yet, I've seen no indication that their cultures are run by either good or evil means of governance. Any system that selects any grouping of residents simply for who or what they are has no right to claim itself as either good or just. This exactly the kind of behavior the worst and most evil cultures of our Earth's past engaged in.

So really, what entity can the readers really get behind? I like the main characters fine, but the Nazis also claimed they were just following orders when asked why their moral consciences failed to compel them to deny any such immoral leadership policies.
