I'd say it's possible to dismantle the term more directly by ackbowledging that 'free markets' cannot exist without the right to privately own means of production, which in turn is enforced by a state.
With 'Star Trek' I usually associate a needs-based economy, as far as Humans are concerned. Or as some people call it, 'replicator communism'.
No matter the label, I do favor public ownership and oversight of all key industries (energy, housing, healthcare, food, transportation, ... ). It's funny how people expect democratic societies to work politically without also implementing a mostly democratized economy.
