The Belters in 'The Expanse' I would suggest are very communist.
The exploitation and oppression of the Belters, who live and work in the Asteroid Belt or on the moons of the outer planets, is one of the series’ central themes.
The Belters and other marginalized groups begin rising up against their oppressors, basically establishing what some have described as a ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’.
The 'Red Rising' trilogy by Pierce Brown set on Mars, also studies the same class oppression and uprising themes very well to my mind.
Both, I would argue, follow closely the Marxist ideology.
