Despite the seemingly large percentage of AT LEAST progressives who view Lenin favourably, how come there isnt any popular revolutionary fiction?

Just read nonfiction? I appreciate the cultural relevance of nonfiction but books like Ten Days that Shook the Earth and Teamster Rebellion, etc., are more exciting and just as entertaining as any nonfiction.

That being said, I'm positive that publishers like Verso and Haymarket def publish nonfiction writers. Ursula LeGuin has some revolutionary fiction, the Dispossessed is a pretty good example.
