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.

    well given the relationship between base and superstructure, it’s less something people apply daily to their lives, and more it is something that is applied daily, by society’s base, to society’s superstructure, and vice-versa, regardless of whether people are aware of it. I don’t think it necessarily makes sense for an individual apply it to daily life, but I welcome corrections if I’m wrong about that.

      Yep, but the elements in the superstructure can have contradictions inherent in them, right? In any case, I heard of people applying it in their daily lives and so on, so I was curious
