Dietzgen was a pioneer of dialectical materialism and a fundamental influence on anarchist and socialist thought. He discovered that the thinking process involves two opposing events: generalisation and specialisation, therefore dialectical in nature. Although a philosophical materialist, he extended these concepts to include manyy factors that had a real impact on the world. Thought and matter were no longer radically separated. This work is vital for theorsits today by laying a basis for a non-dogmatic, flexible yet principled socialist politics.

He lived in Germany, Russia, and the U.S., where he became the editor of theanarchist publication "Chicagoer Arbeiterzeitung" after the previous editors were executed for their role in the Haymarket bombings."
