Well, this one certainly went somewhere I wasn't expecting. This story explores themes of class inequality and how extreme one's actions in the fight can go before becoming just as bad as the system one is fighting, and questions of how far an individual must go, and what sacrifices must be made, to stand up for what is right. This story may especially appeal to those who enjoy explorations of contact between aliens and humans.
