Marx's theory is best known as "dialectical materialism." This is the overall theory by which Marx reconciles the various stages of history, the class struggles they created and society's ultimate evolution into communism.
This name distinguishes itself from Georg Hegel's theory of the "dialectic." The difference, in simplistic terms, is that the "dialectic" theorizes that reality comes from reason. "Dialectical materialsm" theorizes that reality is shaped by objective facts independent of reason.
