Is there any good theory about writing good theory?
I'm working on an eco-Marxist book that's kind of broad in its scope. Organising that and finding the right ways to communicate the messages is very different from fiction writing I've done. Is there any go-to book about how to write a solidly dialectical materialistic, academic-level book or did any of the big theorists detail their own writing process?

The closest I can think of is the logic used in philosophy. Philosphy Tube has a great breakdown that you might find useful in organizing your arguments.

It’s good that you’ve written fiction. There’s a great book on science communication called “Houston, We Have a Narrative” that applies fiction-writing insights to nonfiction. Don’t chuck your fiction instincts out the window when you start writing nonfiction.
