Sorry everyone. One of those ships of theirs would probably be able to take over the planet on its own. Supposedly these ships have been observed disabling nuclear missile silos. If they were communists, they would probably want to liberate us. They would likewise be able to do so right this moment. But they don't. Therefore, they aren't communists. Facts and logic :expert-shapiro:
How could a non-communist society send ships to other solar systems? It's possible. Something like Breakthrough Starshot could conceivably happen before a communist revolution on Earth. The USA, a fascist dictatorship, sent people to the moon.
If the UFOs are real, I think that they're some kind of automated probe(s) which were actually sent here hundreds if not thousands of years ago. (The earliest recorded UFO sighting was in 1440 BC.) As mentioned on the most recent episode of Guerilla History, UFOs might have been triggered or made more active somehow by the first detonation of an atomic bomb.
The civilization which built them might not even exist anymore, but their technology is evidently still way ahead of ours, which means it could be quite some time before we ever figure out what these UFOs actually are.
Something is definitely going on, though, whatever the fuck it is. The podcast mentions a guy I had never heard of named Ron Westrum. He gave a talk here mentioning how alien abductions probably aren't all in people's heads, since they sometimes happen to multiple people at the same time or are observed by others who are not abducted.
All of this generally shows that in spite of what people tell you, nobody really knows what the fuck is going on.
Or not that far above us but still think of us that way
we take care of zoo animals, and do our best at conservation in the wild. We suck at it, but we are trying. if a deer was being attacked by a mountain lion and we could easily stop it we probably wouldn't. However, if the deer looked at us and said, hey bro this sucks could you help me out here, we probably would. We have people alive today who are fans of pan species communisms. For granting apes and dolphins limited legal rights as intelligent beings. Such a thing would make sense on the larger scale.
I like the indigenous Marxist perspective that capitalism objectifies and exploits all animates, including the land, the animals, the people, and that genuine liberation means liberation for all animates, not just people.
