Firstly some context:
- Hegel was a logician. Dialectics is a refutation of formal and universal logic.
- The world cannot be directly grasped by humans. What we understand of the world is always an approximation.
Reality is not dialectical, because dialectics has to do with our understanding of the world, but our understanding of it must be dialectical in order to more closely replicate it in our thought.
The fundamental contradiction here is that reality is concrete, and our conceptualization of the world through representations in language are abstracted. Materialism says that we take the world as primary and thought/experience as secondary. Dialectics demands that we concretize our concepts rather than assume our abstractions perfectly match a richly interconnected, changing, moving, diverse reality (as mechanical materialism does).
Dialectical materialism does not say reality is dialectical, but that reality is interconnected, in motion, divisible, qualitatively rich, and everywhere unique. Dialectics is how our human knowledge mirrors all of this.
