My reluctance to use alien invasion is due to the feeling that we are not likely to be invaded and taken over.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.
Just as invasion is the true and tried weapon in the hands of capital against the class struggle, so on the other hand the fearless pursuit of the class struggle has always proven the most effective preventative of foreign invasions.
If there is no direct threat why are we invading?
First and foremost, The Quiet Invasion is a first contact story. What would we do if we actually found evidence of alien life out there? It's also about politics.
One can resist the invasion of an army but one cannot resist the invasion of ideas.
I don't like having my space invaded.
Sometime I wish the aliens would abduct me and crown me as their leader.
I don't like alien films where you don't get to see the aliens.
Aliens didn't come down to Earth and give us technology. We invented it ourselves. Therefore it can never be alienating; it can only be an expression of our humanity.
I insist that there is nothing sacred in the life of an invader, and there is no valid principle of human society that forbids the invaded to protect themselves in whatever way they can.
