I read Excession and Player of Games both when I used to be a leftist.
Both had some nice stuff, but Banks is morally insane.

It's so utterly clear in Player of Games and excession that the evil lunatic race is in fact evil and lunatic, and clearly presents an active danger to the galaxy, yet people trying to stop them are the bad guys. I remember the main character in the end rides in one of those torture sleds or whatever or plays tennis with the evil lunatics. It reminds me of a liberal lecturing us about pronouns or blackface while working happily with someone whose culture actively practices slavery and are busy genociding their neighbours.
