sometimes at night, i look at the stars in the sky; thinking about all the unexplored habitable planets out there and the to be horrific deaths in the space mining industry because the space capitalists didn't have to pay attention to OHSA in international space
I didn't like the way The Dark Forest, the second Three Body Problem book, portrayed this. ”Of course there's no intelligent life out there, because they'll just be destroyed by a more advanced civilization once they find out, because everyone is always hostile to each other. This also extends to the last remnants of humanity in space killing each other.”
Some civilizations have been fighting an endless transdimensional grudgematch to the point that successive inevitable dimensional collapses purge all the races that aren't hyper survivalist and also hyper advanced. The trisolarans are an example of a primitive civilization who's experiences have somewhat mirrored this extremely poisoned outlook.

I have hope that capitalism will destroy us all before we infect the wider galaxy with it.

Communists do the best sci-fi and proper alien aliens. China Mieville's Embassy Town being a great example.
I don't know if Ursula Le Guin was really a communist, but she wrote some good aliens.
Certainly so some of her books featured communism or communal societies quite heavily. I'm pretty sure she would have been, or anarchist
