There's a lot of revolutionary fiction, the drive for revolution is constantly felt by the working classes, even if they don't necessarily formalize it. However, what you may be referring to is the process where many works of fiction ultimately reaffirm capitalism and denounce radical change, such as Bioshock: Infinite. The Swerve is a great essay going over this, where radicals with the right ideas and good points have "evil points" added to them to try and conflate them, like massacring people with overthrowing banks.
