The Trotsky (2009) is a cute comedy about a high school kid who believes he's the reincarnation of Leon Trotsky and tries to unionize his school. This is a scene where they throw a high school dance with the theme of "social justice" and the kids are all dressed as PLA and Zapatistas and shit
Walker (1987) is a very funny satire of manifest destiny but is played very straight, such that I think you might have to genuinely be a leftist to notice the jokes. It's by the guy who did Repo Man, which might also fit the bill but this is better.
Inherent Vice (2016) is a screwball noir comedy about capital taking over Los Angeles.
Triangle of Sadness (2022) is a lot of things but should fit the bill for you. Actively Marxist captain, L'internationale playing in the kitchen, etc.
White Lotus season one (2020) is a great and genuinely thoughtful comedy about the myriad of different ways the super rich are terrible. A tour-de-force performance by the guy who plays the hotel manager as a doped-up Basil Fawlty.
Walker didn't really do it for me. There's a couple of scenes where there's a lot of homoerotic tension and the joke is just that.. Walker is gay.
