Look, while I know we have theory to read. I kinda want to start reading some more fictional stories. What would you lot say are the left wing versions of both Atlas Shrugged and the T****r Diaries?

Both books (ESPECIALLY the latter) are just objectively terrible stories that are just mental masturbation at best where you self-insert as the Mary Sue protagonist and just GG ez everything. Surely the left can write something better.

Please don't tell me the closest we have are YA novels.

    Yanis Varoufakis, whom I love dearly, published a novel, Another Now this year. He's a much better economist than a novelist, honestly, but the book contains a fairly realistic vision, or even manual, about how capitalism can be overcome by using some of its own tools, as it were.

    e: out of classics, Steinbeck's In Dubious Battle comes to mind
