The only reason some see communism in TOS is because one of the characters was Russian.

It takes place in a past needs society. Or at least it used to until Picard established that there will still be nogs on crack.
Good thing none of that is canonical.

Picard the show or TNG? Either way, tobe fair, the original script for City on the Edge of Forever had the villain be a guy who was selling drugs on the Enterprise. Then Roddenberry screeched at Ellison 'REEE In the 23rd Century they wouldn't doooo that! Change it!' So he changed it.

Selling pussy

I think Roddenberry's objection was that it was a crew member of the Enterprise selling the drugs and another crewmember taking them and members of the Enterprise were supposed to all be good moral upstanding citizens who would never ever do such a thing. Roddenberry would often say of Ellison's script 'He had Scotty selling drugs'. Ellison (and others) would correct him and point out that wasn't true (Scotty doesn't even appear in the original script). So Roddenberry would apologise. Then he'd go right back to saying it again.

Didn't stop all those evil Admirals to pop up in TNG.

Yeah but that's TNG. Completely different ballgame. Depending on when you're talking about, Roddenberry also obviously had less influence on the show.

Which is not to say that Roddenberry didn't also have his completely arbitrary rules about what they would and wouldn't do in the future for TNG as well

How the fuck do you make 34 of DD a lesbian but don't have any scenes of her munching carpet? What's the point then?
