Over a millenia ago, in 1962, a great man named J. Posadas founded the Fourth Internationale (Posadist). Posadas had originally believed that nuclear war would bering about global revolution, finally stamping out capitalism and elevating the workers to their rightful place. That piece of his hypothesis is, of course, irrelevant now that we have all taken to the stars. A nuclear war on a single planet (or even a few) would no longer devestate enough of humanity to force change. The more important contribution of Posadas and his followers was the idea that aliens - advanced races from beyond our reach - would bring us out of the dark ages.
Posadism hypothesizes that an alien race sufficiently advanced enough to travel through space would have moved beyond capitalism and governments. While clearly, many humans have tenaciously clung to both of these ideas, there is still validity to Posadas' ideas.
The Thargoids have shown us, so far, that they are unconcerned with wealth. They share resources in the form of barnacles, there do not appear to be any transactions taking place, and no laborers are being exploited as far as we can see. It may be early, yet, but aside from military applications, they do not seem to have an heirarchy, either.
Some may say that there's evidence of a war between two separate Thargoid factions, but have we seen actual evidence of that? I have yet to see two Thargoids vessels fire at one another. No, instead, I believe this is propaganda from the governments of the galaxy (who conveniently ended their hostilities just before the Thargoids came under attack). The State, and Capitalism, never go quietly, and they will do all they can to make us believe that these aliens are evil, wicked creatures, instead of the liberators they truly are. That the Thargoids attack us now is only because of those governments' actions.
What we need to do is embrace the Thargoids, reach out to them somehow. Forget researching new weaponry, let's research new communications technolgoies in an effort to speak with them. Let's ask them for help in casting off this yoke of oppression so we can live peacefully alongside our fellow communist neighbors, the Thargoids.
