    Okay but the existence of successful hyper-capitalist aliens organized around profit-maximizing corporations, which is a staple of science fiction, would be proof in the opposite direction The total lack of aliens we observe irl means we have no such proof, of anythinghttps://twitter.com/NathanJRobinson/status/1341165653298991109 …

    Capitalist realism depends on convincing you that There Is No Alternative. The existence of socialist aliens would invalidate this. Thus capitalists do not want you to think about aliens. But I agree capitalism would be just as bad without aliens supplying additional proof

        No intelligent alien would accept a monetary system based on worthless pieces of paper.

        The assumption here is clearly that the only way to create a sustainable spacefaring society is to abandon capitalism and embrace a different social model. And, you know, I'm not even completely opposed to the proposition, but it has to be acknowledged that we have no data here.

        One of the good bits in Niven's Known Space stories is how the humans believe that all spacefaring aliens will necessarily be pacifists like themselves, whereas the tiger-like Kzinti believe that only warlike predators will have the drive and intelligence to make it into space.
