The Borg are literally de-humanized, whereas in the real world we have to ideologically dehumanize our enemies.

The fact that the episode was made back then is what makes it interesting. If that show was made now it would be called neo-con drivel with a barely hidden racist slant and a group of imams would gather to have it taken off the air.
