Alright what the F*** is dialectical materialism

first step to unfucking aghanistan.

there's 12 million in resources in the ground, so hopefully w the help of belt and road infrastructure the country can industrialize and the material conditions of the people can improve

sadly not looking like socialism and taliban characteristics are compatible, given their continued prosecution of socialists, so even with industrialization it is only going to reproduce the inequality in other capitalist countries, but until those contradictions are apparent this is prob the best thing that can happen given the conditions.

also didn't know this until recently but how bad the british f***ed up the region when they drew their line is insane.

real accurate work there dumbasses

It's a philosophical concept. Dialectics comes from Hegel, materialism comes from ? and Marx mixed the two together to form dialectical materialism

For example Liberal history teaches you that Africa is underdeveloped, US and EU are rich, and that the slave trade and colonialism happened like 100 years ago. In liberal history, none of this is connected. They are separate events. However with a dialectical materialist viewpoint, you can easily see how the dialectic between development and underdevelopment played out throughout that history.

So let's try and break the concept down

materialism = not idealism

can be applied to history, historical materialism, which is the most eye opening thing ive experienced in my life.

Marx applies it in all different types of ways, but essentially it's the belief that humans develop through meeting material needs via production rather than thinking/consciousness.

To give another example, an idealist standpoint in the modern era is one that some anarchists take: Palestine should have a "no state solution". To be materialist is to identify that This is idealist because there is no viable anarchist movement within Palestine, and that it is materially impossible.

dialectics is harder to explain, it's way of a***yzing a situation to understand the contradictions inherent within the situation. contradictions are what being change, they are the forces of change.

Dialectics break these into two, there are primary contradictions and secondary contradictions. The primary confiscations modulate the secondary contradictions. Some contradictions are more important than others.

This means inherently dialectics is the thought of relationships. There is no simple one cause and effect, the causes and effects modulate and cause and effect each there until it is one big spinning wheel that moves so fast you cannot tell which way it's moving.

You have to view an entire situation from the relationships, not just as a simple "X caused Y." This is something liberals have a hard time with.

dialectical materialism brings it together and is a concrete way to materially a***yze a situation in order to see the contradictions inherent in order to resolve those contradictions to bring change.

Hopefully this helps even a bit

Tbh I don't think he was asking that q and was really curious about it; I see dialectical materialism memes on Twitter sometimes so that's probably what spurred it

No I genuinely wanna know, I’ve seen it in memes too and also in more serious terms and it sounds like something I should know, I don’t know if I have a firm grasp on it yet but these replies have been helpful, it’s kind of how I’ve come to a***yze things anyhow

Been going through this channel and their amazing wish they had way more views than someone like Varsh since this is actually truly educational, never even realised I watched their the tendency of the rate of profit to fall before.

This video is great especially the start on how they explain in a simple manner on how Soviet Democracy worked.

I agree this channel is incredible I’ve been subbed for a while and have revisited videos several times. The truth is guys like vaush will always get more views than something like this because people like the sensationalism or just the reactionary style of content creation (vaush sucks)

The truth Is Marxism as a science isn’t really super appealing unless you’re interested and it can be rather dense to get into
