Hi comrades, how do you go about applying Dialectical Materialism in your daily life? What tasks have you successfully solved using it?

I'm trying to get a deeper understanding of it right now by reading literature on it, right now I'm at Anti-Duhring (excerpts of it). I find it sometimes hard to apply what I've learned in personal cases, such as a discussion with someone, and so on.

a very brief summary of dialectical materialism in the broadest sense might be "all things change and all things are related", which I'd assume most people understand to some extent and apply in mundane situations without thinking about it

e.g. by understanding the dialectical relationship between you (and your coworkers) and the capitalists you work for, you realize that you should do the bare minimum (unless there are other relationships to consider, e.g. if you're a hospital worker)
