Lord of the Rings, it's not full leftist but it's very much anti-war , anti-fascism, and supports environmentalism. Right-wingers love naming their newest Torment Nexus Fascist Tool after Lord of the Rings stuff.
Looking at you Palantir and Anduril
lembas, mithril too.
Ho don’t know this two
peter thiel co-opted lotr and perverted the franchise in his "anti-christ" persona.
I'm not sure if the anti-fascism is not by accident. Tolkien was pro Franco.
I've seen arguments about that both ways. I'm not fully convinced. My take is his opinion on Franco specifically was colored by family ties and he wished the end was not used to justify the means as much but he forgave some of the rebellion and choices agreed for that. Whatever his stance, Lord of the Rings itself reads fully to me anti-fascist
