You mean fantasy stories other than the Communist Manifesto?

Now that I think about it, are there any fantasy stories written from a marxist perspective with a focus on actual bottom-up revolution strategies?

The closest I know of is a manhua called, “Release that Witch.” I wouldn’t necessarily call it Marxist, but the hero enacts a bunch of progressive reforms, starting with ending witch hunts and instead working with them to use their powers to power new technology he develops, as he introduces an industrial revolution. His ideas and success are eventually seen as a threat to the powers that be, so even as he turns this random backwards village into a prosperous and advanced civilization, he also has to navigate the world’s politics carefully to prevent a backlash.
It’s been a while since I thought about it but I remember it being pretty good. It looks like they made an anime adaptation recently but I don’t know anything about it, might be about to watch it.
