Peachy indeed Dialectics is a very useful tool for understanding and analyzing change in society - though I don't consider it the best, or at least not the only tool, for solutions. I recently wrote a paper explaining the origins and historical development of institutionalized racism in America, using dialectical materialism. I found it useful for outlining the development and characteristics of each era of racism, and the material circumstances within each era that legitimized it as a systemic condition and process.

"Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class, made into law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economic conditions of the existence of your class." - Marx (addressing the bourgeois)
