Perhaps you disagree that theory is not tested in practice? If you do *not*, then the conclusion is inescapable: practice has refuted dialectical materialism. Either that, or truth is not tested in practice. Which is it? Comment A theory or philosophy cannot do anything, other than spread or decay. Exactly what dialectical Marxism -as you put it, supposed to do as practice is over my head. The proletarian movement or social revolution of the proletariat contains and is driven on the basis of a general law system pretty much outlined by Marx and popularized by Engels. Dialectical Marxism cannot cause social revolution or political insurrection for that matter. One need not read anything by Marx or Engles to carry out an insurrection.
