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.

    To be vague, I use Dialectal Materialism daily in work in small ways. I know that certain days of work will be busier because of material conditions, whether that be a football game that is happening or heavy rainfall. That affects how busy I will be and I take it into consideration. I also take time with people when talking politics because I know that there is no Yes/No switch in people’s minds. I span Political conversations over time and sense the right time to bring it up. One conversation won’t change a liberal to a principled Marxist, and that’s because learning is a fundamental part of Marxism, critique and self-criticism along with research.
