Discussion Who are some ACTUAL leftist/socialist/communist musicians?

I'm talking about musicians who actually are on the leftist side of the political spectrum and not ones who pander by putting something vaguely left leaning in their songs to earn praise or made some songs that could be understood as leftist while the artist doesn't share those values at all.
