Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Hi comrades, how do you go about applying Dialectical Materialism in your daily life? What tasks have you successfully solved using it?

I'm trying to get a deeper understanding of it right now by reading literature on it, right now I'm at Anti-Duhring (excerpts of it). I find it sometimes hard to apply what I've learned in personal cases, such as a discussion with someone, and so on.

Thinking about things in terms of contradictions is useful. I use it daily when problem solving at my job, or just thinking about stuff I observe during my day. Helps prevent binary black/white thinking. For example, why are certain people acting this way? What contradictions are governing their life? Utilizing the base and superstructure model some1 else posted helps with this.
