you may be getting lost in the weeds if you're thinking about the fichtean 'thesis antithesis' thing. for an easy understanding it's basically just the idea that nothing exists in a vacuum - things are always affected by something else. this just means looking at contradictions and context first, so the example you used of capitalist to feudal lord is an example of dialectics but its not necessarily limited to that sort of thing, more the understanding that things tend not to happen 'just because'.
tensegrity is a pretty useful irl example imo of the role of contradiction in a lot of systems if you're confused about that too.
I'm not getting lost in the thesis antithesis thing, if you're wondering...
Uh, okay... I mean, it's bit broad but alright then...
