Episode 8: Intro to Dialectical Materialism

I take a swing at Dialectical Materialism, the philosophy and analytical method behind Marxism. I break down the concept into two parts; Materialism and Dialectics, then take a look at their historical development, contrast them against Idealism and Metaphysical Analysis, and apply them to some examples to help understand them in an approachable way. Warning: I am not trained in philosophy, so if you're looking for an expert, high-level discussion, I advise you to look elsewhere. If you're looking to join me on my journey to educate and develop my understanding of Marxism, then you've come to the right place! Further episodes will build on and clarify what I discuss in this episode, so please submit any feedback you'd like me to include in future episode.
