What is what? I think my criticism is pretty plain and I've had to repeat it many times.
Your position from the first comment is free will and determinism both exist. I have never seen a reason to believe in free will. That is why we are at odds. I don't know if I believe in determinism, but free will as most people use it is incompatible with dialectical materialism.
Your position from the first comment is free will and determinism both exist.
Are you sure about that?
Dialectical materialism holds that both are at work but that material conditions are dominant.
Am I supposed to take "both" to not include "free will?"
You're supposed to review your claim to see whether it's accurate.
What claim do you want me to review?
The one I quoted
I stand behind my impression that “both” was intended to mean that diamat is ultimately compatiblist. A claim I disagree with, as I am not a compatiblist, yet I see no conflict between that and my dialectical materialist outlook.
