i dont acutally know what it means but context in how people use it and in the occasional book that uses it is that it just means 'an objective look at the world'. so material dialectic is specifically an objective look at the world's material conditions. i don't know why there's a fancy word for it. it's like praxis, which just means practice, except you sound smarter

Kobayashi posted:Teleology is another one of those wtf terms for me, I think it’s the idea that there’s some grand plan or defined end state of history? And the Marxist would say nah that poo poo doesn’t exist? I feel like makes it sound like nihilism though, which isn’t how I understand the term. liberals believe in an end to social progress, so yeah. maybe a Marxist could claim that direct anarchistic democracy in a post-scarcity situation could be the 'end', but you'd probably look like a liberal to everyone. i dont think its wrong to say that we cant imagine the future past one or two steps, and while it might end, it hasn't yet.
