Dialectical Materialism is the application of the dialectical concept on Historical Materialism. When doing a scientific material analysis of history to figure out what material laws/patterns govern historical development, we may come across material conditions that are in logical contradiction with each other. And that material contradiction (i.e. the contradiction exists within the material circumstances revealed through analyses) leads to a dialectic process which results in the (material) development of history in the direction in which this contradiction is resolved.
The material reality of Capitalism itself is rife with many such contradictions. The chief among them being the contradiction between the working class and the business class.
All humans, being material actors with physical bodies, seek to meet their basic needs and further material comforts. Under the capitalist system this translates into making money. But the workers earn their living through wages and the Capitalist through profits. To further their material comforts the Capitalist must suppress wages as much as possible to maximise profits. Meanwhile, the material interests of the workers lie in better wages. This is a contradiction and we can see that it is not an ideological contradiction, because it's not the political ideologies or religion of both classes that are opposing each other but the contradiction lies in what they must do to fulfill their body's material needs/wants/comforts.
(this is getting long, I'll cover the resolution of the contradiction in next post)
