its just cause and effect
you know how liberals like to argue as if things happen in a vacuum. the dialectic argues that no, we live on a continuum of cause and effect
Just cause and effect would be vulgar materialism
Dialectics means that all things are changing each other rather than one another, it can be idealistic or materialistic
Marxism is dialectics + materialism
look i was keeping it simple
i didnt think id need to explain the transformative properties of adding chocolate to milk makes the milk taste like chocolate and the chocolate taste milky because the milk and chocolate has been transformed. people understand that cause and effect in a complex system transforms the system itself give people some credit goddamn
In my book giving people credit is actually explaining something even if it sounds simple to you because you respect the fact that not everyone has learnt the same things as you and might not deduct the same consequences to a given statement
patronizing and mansplaining are two shorter ways to describe it
