Firstly, I will say I have read enough to understand that the the “Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis” stuff is nonsense peddled by Fichte, and isn’t really relevant to Marxist studies (or even Hegel for that matter).

However, when I’ve discussed this very thing in various circles online, as an outspoken ML, there are some attitudes I’ve noticed that seem to indicate many “left coms” hold very different views and interpretations of dialectics and therefore dialectical materialism in comparison to MLs, and I’m very curious as to what this disagreement is?

Especially, what part of dialectics do they believe that MLs such as Stalin and Mao are misunderstanding or misconstruing? How does this tie into Marx and Hegel’s proposition of the dialectic (idealism and materialism being the only obvious one with Hegel). I’ve been searching a bit lately and haven’t been able to find anything incredibly solid in the literature, so I thought I would consult here.

Thanks!
