"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

I have a book in my to-read pile called "Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict" that apparently takes a look at the political situation that the historical Jesus would have found himself in through a historical materialist lens. The authors were on Rev Left a while back, which is where I first heard of it. I haven't been able to read it yet, so I can't personally vouch for it but based on that episode it seems pretty solid.
Figured I'd drop the title in case anyone was interested
I've finished the first few chapters, very solid stuff
