Though I’m no expert on Marxism, the process of dialectical materialism is similar to the process that I discovered for myself and explained in my book Principles: Life and Work, in which I struggle with conflicts, reflect on them, write down the principles I derive from them, and then improve them—and do that over and over again, in a never-ending, evolutionary way that I describe as “looping.” In other words, I believe, and it sounds like Marx believed, that learning and evolving from conflicts and mistakes is the best approach.
