Basically it's a fancy term for "class warfare"

Communism is an inherently materialistic and believes that all history is moved by economics and the conflicts thereof and not by any transcendent idealistic bullshit. It's all about the material and whether you have or don't have it.

so, dialectics is a methodology of understanding the world that tries to understand how any one thing is connected to every other thing that affects it. dialectics wants to examine how a subject changes over time in relation to the other subjects that shape it. an example might be how racial attitudes change over time in accordance to state legislation regarding different ethnic races.

marxists.org says it well enough.

>Dialectics is the method of reasoning which aims to understand things concretely in all their movement, change and interconnection, with their opposite and contradictory sides in unity.

>Dialectics is opposed to the formal, metaphysical mode of thought of ordinary understanding which begins with a fixed definition of a thing according to its various attributes. For example formal thought would explain: ‘a fish is something with no legs which lives in the water’.

?Darwin however, considered fish dialectically: some of the animals living in the water were not fish, and some of the fish had legs, but it was the genesis of all the animals as part of a whole interconnected process which explained the nature of a fish: they came from something and are evolving into something else.

materialism is an idea that all thought comes from existing matter, rather than thought originating as some abstract idea in the mind. materialism is in opposition to idealism. there's a can of worms there that you can open at your leisure, i don't feel like explaining it because i don't even fully understand the conflict between the two enough to give you an in depth explanation as is.

dialectical materialism is a combination of the above two ideas. it places a focus on the material - ie what is concrete, what exists on earth now, not what is the realm of the mind - as the explanation for why things are they way they are, and why things tend to change the way they do.

it's like super autism

Thanks, good explanation

if you want to understand the concept better than the explanation i provided, you just have to keep reading. read marxists.org's definition section. read various works of marxism. the more you come in contact with the idea of dialectical materialism, the sooner you'll really comprehend what it means as a process. i really just see it as another logical way of viewing reality.

Thankfully no one takes that shit seriously anymore outside of internet crusaders

I don't know quite a few countries and political parties still refer to themselves as communist.

>but they aren't true communist!
and most democracies aren't true democracies, it's still the case.

>>1310412
So you agree communism isn't about controlling the means of production right? And that state capitalism is basically communism because muh material conditions?

>>1310225
