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

As others here have said, the capitalist class is the one who funds media, and individual artists and writers struggle due to the brutal hand of capital. I've wanted to make some kind of revolutionary comic for a few years now myself, but I have rent and bills to pay, I can't spend months or years working on a project that will most likely end up with less than a hundred viewers, I have to go with what "sells" and what sells is slop.
