There's not really a good way to do it. If your aliens are humanlike in a vague sense, pre-communist and communist, I guess, with pre-communist being synonymous with a home planet centric economy.
You mention different biochemistries, but the issue there is that would require a lot of novel research. Like, what sort of fossil fuels could be produced by such biology? How would this affect technological development? How does class society proceed? Liberal developers aside, it's no wonder games with aliens take place after all this annoying worldbuilding would have relevance. Creating real aliens is a massive undertaking.
