Hey comrades, I need to get my hands on a robust Marxist critique of Austrian economics. Can you direct me to any documents worth looking into?

Simple, an assertion does not make sense if it's opposite does not make sense. The axioms of Austrian economics are not empirical propositions, but definitions of words, which tell us nothing about the real world. That, at least, dispatches the Von Mises crowd.
As for the rest, Bukharin did write a book on it, Economic Theory of the Leisure Class, which I haven't read through yet, but might be worth checking out:
