No, the book, Materialism and the Emperio-Criticism, relies more on Engels than Marx IMO.

Maurice Cornforth's Dialectical Materialism would be an essential reading for beginners to comprehend Dialectical Materialism proper!!

I am sorry subham, but that book makes all the usual mistakes. These have been exposed here time and again, and at my site.

A list of threads at RevLeft where this has been done can be found here:

Forget dialectics. It won't serve you in whatever struggle you're in.

Herman, with regard to Trivas, you might as well be talking to the cat for all the attention he will pay to your otherwise eminently reasonable remark.
