Come to think of it, Larry Niven's second novel "A gift from Earth" described the overthrow of an entrenched aristocracy by a people's rebellion. The hero was an ordinary miner. Left-wing enough for you?
I'm being mischievous. But in fact Niven as a young man seemed merely amiable and apolitical. Pournelle was a bad influence on him from the moment they teamed up.
