I'm looking for clever illustrations of what a leftist utopia/dystopia could look like, with special attention to the rough edges. It would probably be scifi.I'm not asking for chudslop written by poltards and their likes, nor a time-wasting apologetic wet dream, but rather a sincere exploration of the good and bad sides.For example, "The Compass Rose" by Le Guin showed interesting ideas about what an anarchist society could look like, sad things included.

Sorry OP. It'll be gangbusters.
