Dialectical Materialism and Failure

Engels' effort to counter Newtonian Physics with a Dialectical theory of Matter, abstracts as much as the former does from its historical origin--the experiments of Galileo and others. Now, Experiment entails the possibility of failure, the rare recognition of which is expressed by Peirce's characterization of his theory of Knowledge as 'Fallibilism'. But, that possibility inheres in all human endeavor, including Productivity. Thus, a, and perhaps the, significant flaw in Dialectical Materialism is that it does not accommodate the possibility of failure, whether in the attempt to grow vegetables, or in that to overthrow Capitalism.
