But...

Most federation planets are very low tech, many are deserts. The communism we experience here won't be seen by most of them. They live at stone age level, and someone offers them space ships and free uniforms and a free capital city with a space port. They see nothing negative with it at all.

Then they get an office set up and they learn how to run some bureaucratic institution which was outsourced to that planet. They get all these new things "for free" if they just do some rituals from a book, so why wouldn't they?

There is zero loss in it for them.
