Have you read the Baru Cormorant books by- neongrey posted:I've read and loved everything local hero General Battuta has ever published drat. Maybe Ursula K. LeGuin? The Dispossesed heavily features a functional anarchist society, and Left Hand of Darkness isn't quite as based on political systems but does some interesting stuff with gender and First Contact concepts and I think it's just a neat read. I'd also throw out a soft recommendation for The Unbroken by C.L. Clark. It's fantasy with not-France colonizing not-North Africa and gets compared to Baru a lot. While it's not quite as... complex? It does definitely deal with colonialism and the difficulties of trying to fight it from the inside (also, lesbians). It's might be a little too romance-y, adventure-y for what you're looking for though (if those are not plusses for you)?

Yeah, I can think of about a dozen leftist fiction authors off the top of my head (they're also all trans and/or non-binary) but a lot of them don't write stuff that's super political/theory based necessarily (unless you count having queer characters as your protagonists as being political?).
