Yep this is really helpful thank you, I've understood the concept of materialism for a while, but this finally breaks it down so I can actually explain it to myself (and others)
Happy to help! I actually only just started reading Stalin after someone here linked it to me a few weeks ago, I recommend sticking with him for more of the breakdown style rather than trying to just jump into capital or whatever that assumes you know Hegel and all the other guys they're responding to.

It's just used as a heuristic tool to teach the basic concept of contradiction in a way that's intentionally idealist.
You are being overly pedantic.
