Material in the sense of the basic physical quantities like length and charge? No. You need to add a splash of ethnography in your materialism.

basic physical quantities like length and charge

You know that those are also social abstractions of complicated phenomenon too right? Or did you not read about what a social construct was because sociology is a soft science for girls? /s

Also have you ever opened up Capital or Imperialism and looked at how many basic quantities they use when constructing their analysis?
