Forgive me for resurrecting this thread, but some of you may still be looking for such works as requested by the OP.
I am a writer currently publishing an explicitly left-wing novel online which I characterize as a 21st century proletarian novel, but which also contains in its essence elements of sci-fi and fantasy. The work,
Raving Radicals Bathed in Blax is available here on my blog:

The text could aptly be described as a satirical geopolitical thriller which combines elements of science fiction, indigenous folklore, young adult fiction, and the picaresque.
Though rooted in the antiquated tradition of the proletarian novel, Raving Radicals Bathed in Blax is more than a simple plea for revolution–it is a fantastic social vision. In the present period of disenchantment and disillusion with revolutionary politics, working class-generated radical systemic change is oft-perceived to be at, if not beyond, the frontier of the realm of the possible. Envisioning it thus necessitates a fogging of the boundary between feasible and infeasible. Bolstered by the quasi-magic realism of afrofuturist ‘myth-science’ and an omnipresent postcolonial ethnological lens, Raving Radicals exhibits the infusion of proletarian literature with new elements.
The core story follows Paty, Tisha, Franky, Pedrocco, Izzy, and Witherslapt: six twenty-somethings who share an interest in raves and radical literature. Together, they are the Radical Book Club: An informal faction operating within an activist group called Socialist Alliance, whose leader suspects the club of being little more than a cover for recreational drug use and partying. In short, a serious liability. When a deadly stampede breaks out at a warehouse rave, those concerns seem vindicated. It doesn’t take long for the Homeland Intelligence Agency to connect the dots and seize the incident as a pretext to quash social movements. After losing one of their own to the H.I.A.’s domestic rendition program, it’s clear peaceful protest just won’t cut it. But it isn’t until Marxists are designated terrorists and the Radical Book Club is forced to team up with Santa Muerte-worshipping drug cartelists and Rromani clans, that they realize what it really means to go down the path of revolutionary armed struggle: a path that leads to strange sojourns in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa . . . and outer space.
Episodic chapters follow this core gang of quixotic anti-heroes, while stories of the other political activists, drug traffickers, cult leaders, and government agents and officials they cross paths with along the way emerge as well.
As a leftist riposte to the society that produced films and books like The Turner Diaries (1978), Red Dawn (1984, 2012), and those of Tom Clancy (1984-2003), Raving Radicalsaims to reinvigorate the long dormant tradition of the proletarian novel and infiltrate this reactionary literary landscape.
Written between the summer of 2013 and the spring of 2015, and complete at 49 chapters, (circa 125k words, divided into 4 parts), the plan is for chapters to be posted on this website every 1-3 days.
