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.
