Further from Bhaskar's entry on Dialectics in the Dictionary of Marxist Thought, Bhaskar whom Andrew claims supports him entirely, states,

"Often Marx uses "dialectical" as synonym for 'scientific' method."

Clearly Marx was interested in the whole range of scientific knowledge as the discussion of organic compounds in Chapter 1 of Capital illustrates. It would be very strange if he did not consider the proper approach to that to be dialectical.

"Absolutely incredible" of course for Andy if he did.
