Revolutionary politics has always been one of the pillars star trek stands on, so its been terrible to see how nutrek has gone full performative liberalism and commercialist and removed all the wholesome space communism.
Would you sayit have started before though? I am admittedly not too versed in Trek things, but it often feels that the dip towards the more liberal (and less socialist) takes began in post-TNG era, with Voyager and DS9.

Not really. DS9 has a plot thread where O’Brien inspires Rom (a member of a hyper-capitalist species) to form a union and go on strike.
Space Communism was a core of Star Trek. No worries of such nonsense, just exploration and technological advancement.
