Dialectical Materialism Resources

  1. Random Precision
    My sincere and comradely thanks to Rosa Lichtenstein (ironic, no?) for compiling the this list. I originally was going to organize it into the various schools of thought each writing comes from, but right now I don't have the patience. Rosa has put asterisks after the ones she considers the best resources, and more asterisks means that they are more useful.

    The book is awful. The authors lack a basic knowledge of scientific thought.
