What is my "materialistic" philosophy is called and how can I explain it to laymen?

Hi comrades.

I do view history in a materialistic way that I think is different from Marx's dialectical materialism and would like you to help me both identify it and explain it to the layman.

In my view, we can only explain "how" events happen rather than "why". No historical event take place because it was "the natural way things happen", it just happens because of the circumstances. For example, the emergence of capitalism is not a natural step in the evolution of economy, it just happened because the conditions forced it and then it spread as a historical coincidence. With the same logic, there is no natural path that the future will take on its own. For instance, anarchism will not evolve unless the right conditions are brought about, and so if the conditions take a turn we might converge into a totally new and different system. I do view the "struggle of the classes" in the literature as merely a mental model to deal with the current situation, but I myself have a sort of mathematical model in my mind which is adequate and allows me to analyse things.

So, what is my philosophy?

Sensible for one.

For two, that sounds a lot like Historical Materialism, lemme dig up some articles about it and post em for you to look over...
