Well for one I do think other philosophies are scientific in nature, particularly those that incorporate some understanding of uncertainty. Your best bet is to contrast dialectical materialism with positivism though.

I should also say dialectical materialism is unique in how it uses dialectics to frame and understand continuous processes. However it's still very much a materialist philosophy and so it's not unique in many other respects. That includes how it contrasts with idealism.
