Reading a few articles and posts, and I'm still just not getting it beyond a very basic understanding of dialectics being "stuff impacts other stuff and then affects other things including the original thing". Materialism is easier for me to get.
Can anyone recommend a good book about it that is good for non-philosophers? Something that would work as an audiobook? I love Marx and Engels and generally I would agree with first going to the original sources to tbh their language can be too arcane for me to understand a concept I struggle with this much.
Luna Oi has a video introduction to Dialectical Materialism based off of her schooling in Vietnam. She was raised as a Marxist Leninist and has translated some books on Ho Chi Minh Thought into English as well. Video here: https://youtu.be/neI-ol2AowM
