How to learn dialectical and historical materialism? I read the book but don’t think I understand it

I wrote about dia.mat. a while ago. It’s of course not everything there is to say about it but it might work as an introduction or supplement. Other than that I think the best way to learn might be to read the classic texts from great Marxist thinkers, especially Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Mao. You really get a feel for it when seeing them use it. Mao has a text called “On Contradiction” which is also about dia.mat. The early writings of Marx and Engels focus quite a bit on dia.mat. and historical materialism as well.
