I do wonder if Marxism applies to Aliens. I mean with humans it is the understanding of the world that makes the most sense.

Does that apply to say, whatever other species we may meet?

Is it possible to meet an Alien species that had completely different modes of production that we can't imagine? Maybe. I dunno.

I also imagine most spacefaring species (if faster than light travel is even possible) have surpassed communism as a mode of production and have moved on to something that deals with the contradictions within it.

This is all make-believe though. Seems like an unknowable thing until it happens. So probably best to not think about it
