Dialectical materialism is a powerful epistemological framework. It's a far better model than any alternative I'm aware of.

Are you referring to Popper? Have you actually read him? It's easy to say "Popper debunked Marxism" but his line of reasoning is flimsy at best.
- mjburgess 3y agoNot popper, but chaos theory and the like. A swirling glass of coffee isnt subject to 'coffee-bean materialism' let alone the morass of history. What science teaches us, of late, is the radical limits of science. Any prognostictor of society, coming along, and 'reading its temperature' is automatically a fraud. Marx gets a pass. My view is that if marx had lived long eough, he'd be here today as a sceptical capitalist, long beyond the habit of prediction.
