found this here https://lemmy.ml/post/311172/comment/204938 and saw this a lot in lemmygrad communities.

So i know that this has some kind of relation to marx, that his work is “dialetical materialistl”. But i always struggle to completely understand what this even means.

    thanks!

    to ask my question more precisely: basically i want to know which part is dialectical and which part is materialist. Sorry, should have specified that more clearly.

    So maybe: could you give a short example where something is dialectical but not materialist? and the other way around, something being materialist but not dialectical?

        This explanation of the theory and your earlier, more practical example of a dialectical materialist analysis seem very much not chatting shit to me.
