Why Marxian Dialectical Materialism is Dead By Anthony J. Fejfar, B.A., J.D., Esq., Coif © Copyright 2008 by Anthony J. Fejfar Karl Marx set forth the theory of Dialectical Materialism. Marx had the idea that material economic forces moved each other. I argue that the only real material forces are found in Nature, such as the wind, rain, flooding, and earthquakes. Economic forces are human in nature and require the use of the mind and will. Human’s don’t move anything, typically, without thinking about it first.
