Channel: Communism and Dialectical Materialism
Date: 2022-05-31

This video is an and introduction to the concept of dialectical contradiction, the  most important concept of communist philosophy. It is excerpted from the video Dialectical Materialism and the Fight for Communism, which is also available on this channel.  That video was created by the International Communist Workers Party (ICWP) in 2015. The specific political struggles that it portrays date from that year or earlier. Clearly the conflicts between the working class and the capitalist class and between imperial powers have only grown more intense since then. 

Note that a few ideas mentioned in this excerpt might need the further explanation found in the longer video, for example the idea that socialism is a form of capitalism.. Please do not hesitate to post comments or questions.

To find out about the ideas and current organizing of ICWP, please go to the ICWP online edition of the Red Flag newspaper at http://icwpredflag.org  Many other materials on the fight for communism, fighting racism and sexism and other vital issue are available there in English and Spanish, with selected materials in other languages.
