It is not technically theory, but the two things that radicalized me the most were Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States and Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast. I found that with a foundation of history told through a materialist lens, most of the more theoretical texts simply clicked. The problem you'll face most of the time is that Americans (including liberals) simply don't know enough history, and where they lack in historical knowledge, context, and hindsight, they improvise with idealism. The only way you can get them thinking in a materialist lens is if you stuff their brains with history.
Think about it. Liberals are always obnoxiously telling people how things are supposed to work. They are the self-appointed experts on how things are supposed to work. We have to break that illusion and show them how things have and do work.
My one friend recently started thinking that I might be right with this whole communism thing, and when we discussed how she got to this point the number one thing she credited was a teacher in high school who had them read this book.
