Theory Recommendation Request - A lot of liberals/Dems in my life are facing crises of political consciousness watching the police collaborate with the protestors to attack "a sacred symbol of American democracy." This is a fantastic chance to move them left, but I'm hesitant to recommend anything that's too heavy.

What are some good entry-level works that are accessible to people that think the West Wing and Jon Ossoff are unironically good? Keep in mind things like S&R are disqualified because Lenin is pretty stigmatized in their brains. Need something more vanilla/unknown.

    I'm in a book club with a bunch of libs and I've been pushing them to choose The End of Policing or The Shock Doctrine for our next book. The Shock Doctrine was a major first step in my radicalization.

    Right now we're reading How To Be An Anti-Racist and it's OK, lots of "bodies and spaces" academic language but at least it's well-written and includes a chapter on primitive accumulation.
