Honestly aliens have done a no-growth by focusing on dead old white guys, they really need to check out some Fanon or at least read Settlers

Aliens: “Marx was right”

Me: “Yeah”

Aliens: “Well enjoy your doomed planet”

Me: “Cool thanks”

“Can’t you like save us with your technology or something”

This is literally a plot point of Strugatsky (of Stalker fame) novel (and movie) Hard to Be God. Communist Earth finds a planet of human-like aliens stuck in medieval ages but decides to help only by influencing the politics with spies and shit, because going ham would be “robbing people of their history”.

If you click on the smiley face in the toolbox and then go to the tab indicated by an asterisk you get the full list.

Marx’s observations are easily proven in observation of the current state of capitalism. I don’t need aliens to validate that for me.
