In order to transform the world, we must first understand it. In this speech, the RCI’s leading theoretician, Alan Woods, explains dialectics: a revolutionary school of thought, which holds that nothing is fixed or static. 

Taking his starting point from the great idealist German Philosopher Hegel, Karl Marx placed dialectics on a sound materialist basis. 

This great philosophical revolution developed into dialectical materialism – a revolutionary philosophy that explains the most general laws of motion of nature, human society and thought itself.

This remains the most powerful theoretical tool communists have at their disposal for understanding the world – the prior condition for bringing about its complete transformation.
