Friendly Aliens from beyond the moon arrive in your country as they explore the universe.

At first things seem to be going well until they take a turn for the worse after the aliens start scaring or offending humans by walking into their homes, using their beds, eating food from their fridges and opening unpaid for items inside stores. All while being friendly and deeply confused when people get angry.

It turns out that their society doesn't have money. They don't have any corporations or for profit sports leagues.

When they are hungry they eat food, when they are sleepy they walk into buildings and sleep. There's no trade or barter, everyone just farms, builds, researches science and does stuff knowing each other will do stuff as well and they all just gel together. Nothing 'belongs' to anyone. Everything is entirely communal. A true collectivist society.

The aliens find Earth and its ways very confusing.

There's growing discontent from the right wing who want the aliens to fuck off. As well as others who want to teach them about money and how supply and demand works.

One of the aliens has been hanging around your neighbourhood and is trying to ingratiate themselves with humankind.

It could be enlightening. The definition of property may have to be reconsidered sometime this century.
