Interesting thread on socialist philosopher Joseph Dietzgen:
Hi G,
Here's my summary:
Joseph Dietzgen was a German philosopher born in 1828. He is mostly known as a socialist philosopher and early proponent of Dialectic logic as was Hegel. Whereas Hegel is famous for being hard to understand, Dietzgen's ideas are clear and straight forward so

I bought this neato drafting table when I thought I was moving. Ended up sitting in my garage for a year.
Was about to list it for $150 - what I paid for it.
It turns out it’s an early 1900’s Dietzgen drafting table worth almost 10x that amount.

"Dialectical materialism" was coined by Joseph Dietzgen, "historical materialism" comes from Plekhanov, and Marx borrowed "dictatorship of the proletariat" from Joseph Weydemeyer.

The cool thing is that it was independently developed by the self-educated worker Joseph Dietzgen! Marx and Engels discussed his writings in some letter exchanges. Interesting guy
