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.

    I definitely think Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents is radical and left-wing as hell. But you could read the original "What is to be done" which Lenin copied the title. It is a fiction story that ended up radicalizing a lot of people.

      Lenin would absolutely be writing 12 page effort posts titled after popular historical fiction if he was alive today.

        I like how a lot of the foundational Marxist books are called ‘a little pamphlet’. I just imagine one of those restaurant menu, three fold pamphlets but with tiny text.
