Think of it less like combination and more like conflict and change. The dialectic between workers and capitalists doesn't result in a new completely solid merged class. It is the conflict and interaction itself, which changes both workers and capitalists, while keeping their core the same. Like a spiralling dance through time, where you change clothes and learn+invent new dance moves constantly.
To add on to this, synthesis is less the idea of merging two opposites, and more the inevitable result of two conflicting forces. Like a tug-of-war, even if one team wins it could have moved a lot farther if there was no opposing team.
Though not the pure use of dielectics, I tend to use it to understand the appropriate reaction to something. Last summer, there were large protests to defund the police, but the result was large cities deciding not to increase funding for a year or two. That was the synthesis of the protests and our police state.

So you're saying that instead of thinking about magnets, we should be considering the magnetic forces they exert on each other
