The bigger issue is the Borg queen. TNG Borg were the ultimate egalitarians. The ultimate communists. The federation’s ideals brought to an extreme.

VOY Borg are… a monarchy?

The best thing they could do in future lore is reveal that the Borg queen is a fake, invented purely to manipulate the psychology of individuals.

I mean, it's confusing, but if you listen to her describe herself carefully enough in #FirstContact that's kind of what she is.
