Ah, but my dear Archbishop, how can you really be surprised that Marxist
dialectics are far more "mind boggling" (and also "eye opening" - see, the
contradiction, coming out again) than metaphysics?  Metaphysics "sound so
very profound" but are in fact rather shallow.  Dialectics are really the
stuff of life, and life teems with contradictions!  The point is that
revisionists (negators) can't even dance and are totally flatfooted. So,
there is no question of them competing for elbow room with your angels at
all, let alone for dance space in the point of a needle!  Hope that makes
you feel more relaxed and at ease about the whole thing!
