Star Trek was never ever a conservative show.
The episode A Private LIttle War was a blatant endorsement of the US involvement in Proxy wars against the Soviet Union, even Vietnam.
Basically you have to cherry pick episodes to make your "point". They were written by different writers, none of which "blatantly" endorsed anything. At the core of the show, however, was the Federation. A socialistic and egalitarian society. That was by the design of Gene Rodenberry.
Kirk was not a socialist. And of course the federation would not work….so that is why it is science fiction……The Next Generation was more left wing than the original series….
