Are there novels like Atlas Shrugged but for other political ideologies?

As I understand The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and Looking Backwards are this for socialism.

Walden Two.

Why would you want that? Most people would only ever read with minds completely open or completely closed.

You don't know what projecting is. If one was aware of that possibility, it would be incredibly easy to prevent oneself from doing it.

Here are some anarchists: Godwin wrote a novel to explain his political philosophy. Gustav Landauer and Henry Mackay both wrote novels, both were German anarchists. Apart from that, Theodor Hertzka wrote a novel called Freeland (Freiland in the original) about his ideas, which are a prefiguration of Gesellian Freiwirtschaft, Hertzka is sometimes called the austrian Bellamy. So yeah, check out Bellamy as well.

Yeah, forgot to mention: Mackay wrote a novel called The Anarchists which has two characters, one is an individualist anarchist and the other is a communist, Mackay uses the novel to harp on communism because it calls for the sacrifice of the individual, in the name of some future utopia which might never happen. Landauer was a pretty awesome guy, he was into Stirner (although he criticized him harshly at points), he was into mysticism and he was also a union emissary to the International, so he covered quite a wide field of different anarchist stances. Also he was a minister in a short-lived revolutionary council republic in Munich, but got killed by Freicorps.

I'm thinking that some of these novels would provide a good way of doing something in literary studies which still includes awesome political philosophy.
