You're focusing on a period of socialism that Star Trek doesn't depict, and criticizing things that are missing (the historic period of class struggle), not what's there (a post-class society focused on exploration and mutual cooperation with other worlds).
It seems a stretch to say trek is demsoc, or that the transition was a peaceful reformist one. We're given hints that the abolition of classes occurred after a violent nuclear world war which nearly destroys humanity, massive internal upheavals and poverty, and the arrival of vulcans. I agree it'd be nice if that was elaborated upon more, but that's a different show, and certainly not one that would be allowed to be made in the belly of the beast.
