Leftist book recs

I see a lot of discourse in my feeds from chuds recommending Nietzsche, Paglia and Mishima, who I have engaged with and mostly do not enjoy, noting their fash vibe or at least the fash vibes taken when others bastardise their content. I was wondering if there are any fiction authors/modern philosophers/cultural commentators with a more left-wing vibe? Cheers

EDIT: Thanks very much everyone, have plenty to get on with. What a great community. Love from Aotearoa ❤️
