Left-wing manga!(?) (hexbear.net)

What are your left wing manga/anime recommendations? I only got Ninpu Kamui Gaiden, because it is communist and ninjaic? You may shrug you shoulders, but a communist created all the ninja cliches, like a dude named Sasuke and the "Izuna Drop"! Unfortunately, the manga is from 1969, when the United States still had not erased all left-wing presence in Japan.

There's a manga adaptation of Das Kapital. It's neat.

I'm gonna recommend a bunch of anime, since I'm less of a manga reader:

Rose of Versailles is the best depiction of revolution around, even if it handles something really poorly late in the show, but is about the bourgeois revolution in France 1789 instead of anything socialist - as the name says. The author hadn't gone back to being a lib yet back when it was written.

Fang of the Sun Dougram is the story of a guerrilla war of independence... with mechs, of course, because 1981.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is arguably pro-anarchist. E1 is the worst of the whole thing.

Patlabor is a mecha police slice of life/comedy made by a bunch of commies or commie-adjacent people in the late 80s. Patlabor 2 is basically a pondering of "1989-1991. what now?"

The Universal Century Gundam shows approach leftist themes, but Tomino's politics are kind of a mess.

Then there's left-friendly but ultimately still lib media like Interviews With Monster Girls (yes, really. It's somewhat horny, but it genuinely is actually good and has something to say about society, in spite of the fetishistic-sounding title), Ghibli movies, Hinamatsuri (for a big arc at least - inequality is a topic) and the like.
