I myself am from the USA but I really can’t think of anything. I do know of some right-wingers from my old high school who liked leftist stuff but I can’t think of what they are off the top of my head. Maybe Star Trek, does that count?

    Is Dune leftist? I see it more as a scientific work dissecting power structures and human psychology, but not really criticizing those power structures and providing a better alternative.

      It was embraced by the Left of its time for being so ecologically-forward. I think one of Dune’s central themes is criticizing power from the reader’s perspective - we know that Paul and Leto II’s plans will have disastrous results, but even with psychic knowledge theyre still short sighted.

      Idk. Calling it “leftist” is maybe a stretch, but its left-adjacent id say
