I don’t think you could do it in Trek easily due to the Borg baggage, but I’d love a sci-fi exploration of the positive sides of hive minds. If you include the idea of voluntary participation you could lean further into making it an anarchism allegory as I mentioned in another comment.
Like I also already said, I think Picard had a chance to do this but completely blew it in favor of a “benevolent dictator” idea instead.
