How exactly does Dialectical Materialism ignore the natural framework we live in, when the basis of Dialectical Materialism is that everything is connected and constantly changing? Climate Change and Ecosystems are perfect examples of Dialectical Materialism.
I know saying “read theory!” is a terrible way of engaging, but reading Georges Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy might genuinely help your understanding of Dialectical Materialism, even if you ultimately discard it. Page 93 on is particularly handy in this case, but the whole work is great.
Essentially, you are correct that dialectics implies contradiction and opposition, but that’s only a subset of the broader framework of Dialectical Materialism. Mainly, you’re ignoring what happens to Materialism when combined with Dialectics. Everything must be seen as connected and transitional, nothing is the same as it was.

I fail to see your point.
You’re overgeneralizing dialectical materialism.
Dialectidal implies that there are two opposing forces which contradict each other. That’s a subset of system theory.
