Do you like that Cardassians have a totalitarian society?

Unpopular opinion time:

I’m not convinced that they are 100% totalitarian.  It certainly has elements of that, but it also has socialist elements as well.

Overall, I don’t think we’re given enough information in canon (and by canon, I mean the show and not the books) to make a good judgement on Cardassian society and government, as experienced by a Cardassian citizen.

To be clear, I think occupying and strip-mining other worlds, enslavement and genocide of other species, and other elements of what we HAVE seen in canon are bad things.  I just think the situation is not as black and white as “they’re totalitarian.”
