People who have studied and have applied Dialectical Materialism to resolve problems in your life/locality, could you share your experiences?

I’ve recently read about it, and it seems straight forward.
Materialism makes sense and things getting resolved through the resolution/interaction of contradiction/opposing forces too.

Though curious on how it is used as a tool to analyse and resolve problems.
Especially in the lives/localities of those who study/use it.

I don’t much about philosophy, so forgive if I made any wrong assumptions or if this question is weird.
Please do recommend any online sources that may help me there, in that case.

Also, would it be better to ask this in another sub, as this question maybe political?

Imo it’s only a tool to understand and explain situations, not so much a tool to solve problems. Definitely understanding the forces that make up the conflict might help you solve a problem, but the solution will depend on what kind of forces are involved.

Aah. Are there examples on how it was applied to expose the causes of social issues in a normal/small-scale scenario?

Not what you asked, but if you want a deep dive into dialectical materialism, with comparisons to the predominant systems of thought, you might try https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:Elementary_principles_of_philosophy. It was written for a working class audience, but doesn’t underestimate their intelligence.

Thank you

If you want to go down the rabbit hole read Five Essays on Philosophy by Mao Zedong, Mao Zedong literature it’s better explaining dialectic materialism into everyday life than Russian authors in my humble POV.

Thank you
