Okay, so what the hell is dialectics? Anything that I've read about it seems like gibberish. Do any of you have some resources that can aid my understanding?

Dialectics is an abstract description of the movement that the understanding does. The mind sorts the world in ideas. Those ideas are reasonably good and reasonably clear. However, an idea will always prove to be insufficient or internally contradictory. So the mind will realise this and leave the old idea behind and develop a new idea which incorporates the good parts of the old idea and update it to accommodate the weaknesses previously discovered. 

The new idea will also prove to be insufficient and/or internally contradictory, so it too will have to be *sublated*, that is, deleted and reconstructed.
