IMO everyone should read Discworld.

https://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/Thieves_Guild

quote:

Thieves' Guild

Motto: ACVTVS ID VERBERAT
Whip it quick.
Full name (given in Equal Rites): Guild of Thieves, Cutpurses, Housebreakers and Allied Trades

Nowadays, the modern, properly registered Thieves' Guild makes money mainly by having rich people pay an annual premium, and arrange for a convenient date to rob an acceptable amount from these rich clients in their own home. For the poorer (but not penniless) citizens who do not arrange for premiums and appointments, the Thieves quite politely rob them in the streets, in their business premises, or in their homes, not badly injuring them, and always leaving them a receipt which guarantees that these people will not be inconvenienced with another official robbery for the rest of the year. Some of the very modern Thieves stand in front of a prospective client in a dark alley, introduce the Ankh-Morporkian guild arrangement, ask for money, and give gifts such as "genuine crystal glasses", or a book of coupons to visitors to the quaint city (see The Truth).
Since the guild also includes the housebreakers, for an annual fee you can become entitled for a brass plaque to put over your door, so that you won't be officialy burgled.
Although it looks very much like a business run in a way to maintain the old image of the lawless Ankh-Morpork, the Thieves' Guild does consist of Thieves, men who will not hesitate before injuring people while taking their money. More importantly, a Thieves' Guild member carries a Guild license on all business occasions to identify himself to the clients and ensure legalized thieving (see Feet of Clay). Someone found to rob or steal without a license can get arrested by the Watch Officers, and that is a good fate. The fatal fate for an unlicensed thief will be to meet Thieves' Guild enforcers, who will capture him, kill him, and hang his body somewhere in the city, put him up on top of the Guild building where buildings usually have weathervanes or hang him from the gallows (engraved by Ralph Gibbons).

...

There is another good reason why the Guild suits Vetinari(the Patrician) in its current form. A significant proportion of what it reaps every year via its criminal activities is paid on to the City as Guild Tax. Thus, by-passing the inefficent and possibly corrupt Mr Creaser(chief executive of Ankh-Morpork's equivalent of the Inland Revenue), diligently collected by the Guild and paid promptly to Vetinari, the Patrician enjoys all the benefits of receiving taxation revenue while escaping the blame and opprobium of actually collecting it.

yeah but it's low key about it. socialism is so much the default ideology of the federation that the characters rarely even talk about it, because they don't have to.

there's personal property in the federation but not really private property

It can be both! And Satire/Comedy! With wonky magic, and a world of a disc!
I would argue that a couple of them are about nothing BUT wizzards and their lives(what left of them that each of them with aspirations have of course)

I mean, I get where you are coming from but literally everything in human fiction is an allegory for something. Because that's how humans put pen to paper.

Hell, I agree it's a waste of time to analyse Sonic the Hedgehog (but it can be fun, see Hbomberguy). But poo poo like Harry Potter has a massive influence and definite underlying ideology whether Rowling admits it or not.

People argue that LOTR could be interpreted as both right wing or left Wong depending how you look at it. One Piece is pretty right leaning anarchy with the whole anti-government and "I want all the meat" philosophy.

Edit- Then again One Piece hates rich people and is sympathetic to the poor, even THOSE kind of poor. :thunk:
