Wells, Huxley, Orwells

K.Dick, Alice Sheldon/James Tiptree Jr. , Roger Zelazny

Ursula K. LeGuin, ~~Asimov~~, ~~Heinlein~~, Micheal Moorcock

Edit : and Asimov and Heinlein are used as examples of right leaning sci-fi

Here’s all the name in the article

It uses Asimov and Heinlein as examples of right-wing fiction though, so you might want to separate those out.

Asimov eventually woke the fuck up, but definitely in the twilight. His early stuff is Americana cringe.

Yeah I organize the name roughy by the paragraphs where they appears.

I think Kim Stanley Robinson and Charles Stross are rather left wing too.

Iain M Banks should definitely be on any list of leftie SF authors. There’s a reason The Culture is sometimes described (rather reductively) as luxury space communism.

I mean Le Guin is head and shoulders more "left", although I think that's an oversimplified view to the point it breaks down a bit

Moorcock is an Anarchist, as well.
