I'd say the 3 most important things to get across are
Pro-socialism
Anti-imperialism
AES is actually good
All 3 are useful to distill into a common collection of sources and arguments. For example, I explain socialism as a mode of production where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy, and the working classes are in control of the state. This is simple, verifiable, and doesn't require reading theory to get across. The rest depends on how they respond to that.
