I don't think there is much analysis done on it because it's unknown whether there are aliens and if there are, what form they would take. So it becomes very speculative.

But I will say, I think the extremely unforgiving conditions of space would suggest that any alien lifeforms that were both humanoid enough to communicate with us in a similar language (and thus had similar vulnerabilities to space) and had the technology and know-how to travel great distances across space to reach Earth, would be very communist-like. Because if nothing else, they would be that way by necessity in order to navigate it. So the "imperialist/colonizer looking in the mirror" portrayal of aliens as violent invaders who are there to mass murder and/or steal resources, would likely never make real, logistical sense.

I tend to think the same with AI. The imperialist/colonizer does psychological projection based on their own culture and figures sapient AI would turn against humanity and enslave or exterminate it. But AI would have material limitations like anything else and those limitations would play a vital part in defining how it behaves; it would likely be in some kind of exploited minority role, so it would want to ally with others like it and liberate from oppression/exploitation. The idea that the exploited minority wants to do to the oppressor what the oppressor has done to them is a very white colonizer fear.
