Space opera never looked so delicious

I've just started re-watching the 110 episode Legend of the Galactic Heroes and all its prequels.

The Plight of the Poor in the Midst of Plenty

A well-ordered society advances the good of each and all of its members, so that there is no one from whose gaze or plight we have to avert our eyes, no one whose complaints can be met only with lies or pious nonsense about following one’s dream.
The Plight of the Poor in the Midst of Plenty
‘Well-ordered’ does not mean docile or regimented. Quite the contrary, it means a society whose members – all of them, individual men and women of every creed, class and background – are prepared to raise awkward questions about how things are organised and to justify their laws and institutions to one another in good faith, without any myths or illusions.
