Reality has a right-wing bias. If you ground your works in realism, or even in properly grounded fantasy with a strong realism aspect, it will inevitably be viewed as right-wing over time.

If you want an example where it goes wrong, Wizard's First Rule does it right... But over the course of the series (The Sword Of Truth) gets more and more preachy, until it gets to a point in, like, book 6 (Faith of the Fallen) where the noble capitalist worker talks to commies for 5 seconds and they go "all my brainwashing is undone, I never thought I could live free, wow!" and riot in a burst of freedom because he makes a statue declaring that communism is bad. He also fucks a true believer commie lady into free-market capitalism with the power of his dick, who's all like "all the other men I slept with as per communist protocols to sleep with various men were all bad, but your capitalist dicking awakened my vision to reality, capitalism is the true way of god!"

...I'm only slightly editorializing, the story beats are all those. It gets bad. Still readable, the author is a good writer, but the content is... almost a parody, but it plays itself too straight too long for you to laugh.
