He lost me when he claimed Marx's discussion of a dialectical method is supposed to be dialectical-materialism. It's not. He also lost me when comparing a Hegalian dialectic to the two previous dialectics. This is college freshmen Max and Hegel hermeneutic confusion.
The answer to him is that dialectical materialism is indeed the philosophical foundation of Marxism, combining materialism (the belief that the material world creates ideas) with dialectics (the concept of change through conflict and contradiction) to explain history, society, and nature as a process of continuous development driven by material conditions and internal struggles, like the conflict between labor and capital, leading to revolutionary transformation.
We don't require Hegal's idealism, or structure, or a new interpretation of the general idea of Marx's dialectical method[s] to appreciate the role of dialectical materialism in Marx's Das Kapital. Perhaps I'm not appropriately appreciating the speaker's points, as he's not the best at organizing his arguments into a convincing, coherent analysis. I've upvoted this post for visibility, though not in agreement with the speaker.
