You're welcome. Tell your friends!
There's also a spin-off audiobook channel that has socialist-leaning stuff which isn't strictly theory, so books more oriented towards matters of history and sociology that don't fit within theory itself but which contribute to it (e.g. a comparative biography of MLK and Malcolm X or a book looking at that time that Henry Ford attempted to create a utopian company town in the middle of the Amazon jungle). That channel is here but be aware there's also some fiction mixed in there like Amitav Ghosh's Ibis Trilogy which is likely of interest if you're keen on imperialism and colonialism and the drug trade but it's not a work of nonfiction.
The historical books there can help flesh out your understanding of the world and to connect theory to real-world events and the fiction is intended to be a sort of palate cleanser that doesn't stray far away from stuff like history and materialism.
Time to put more smart people words into the ol trashbag brain! Thanks again
