    Sorry for making my meme simplified without a long caveat explaining what I mean exactly philosophically.

        So what is it? This whole argument seems to have started because you didn't like that I used "determinism" positively in the title, as you assumed it implied I thought the universe worked in simple mechanics as Marx's opponents did.

          What is what? I think my criticism is pretty plain and I've had to repeat it many times.

            Your position from the first comment is free will and determinism both exist. I have never seen a reason to believe in free will. That is why we are at odds. I don't know if I believe in determinism, but free will as most people use it is incompatible with dialectical materialism.

              Are you sure about that?

                Dialectical materialism holds that both are at work but that material conditions are dominant.

                Am I supposed to take "both" to not include "free will?"
