Dialectical Materialism-
https://youtu.be/bGPSKZgFH70?si=kYXafU_gjLnoz4Ca
Materialism: hard reality/ material conditions shape our ideas/ human thought
Idealism: our ideas (religion, culture) shape our material conditions
Philosophical debates center on which shapes the other; the material or the ideal?
Dialectics: dialogue, interaction; Hegel believed idealism comes first, but he understood back and forth relationship between ideal and material
Historical materialism: applying dialectical materialism to our understanding of history; how do hard economic realities shape how people thinks; and how do the ways we think impact how our economic realities
Marx subscribed to dialectical materialism; he believed material conditions were the primary shaper between itself and ideas, but he differentiated this from mechanical materialism; ideas still shape material conditions, but ideas are primarily shaped rather than shaper; it’s a dialectical relationship

The Yorkist Orphans
Margaret Pole, 8th Countess of Salisbury (b. 14 August 1473) and Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick (b. 25 February 1475) were the surviving children of George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence and his wife Isabel Neville, daughter of ‘the Kingmaker’ Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick.
Their mother Isabel, died on 22 December 1476 at the age of 25, of either consumption or childbed fever. In response, their father had two servants killed, who he thought had poisoned her. On 18th February 1478 at the age of 28, their father George, was executed for treason against his own brother, Edward IV and thus his lands and titles were forfeited. When Henry Tudor succeeded as Henry VII in 1485, he married their cousin Elizabeth of York and they were taken into their care. However, as Plantagenets and of tarnished Yorkist lineage, they were perceived as threats to the Tudor dynasty. In 1499, at the age of 24, Edward was executed for involvement in the plot to escape the Tower of London with Perkin Warbeck, who had impersonated Edward IV’s presumed-dead son Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York.
Margaret would outlive her mother, father and siblings. She was also one of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the War of the Roses. However, in May 1539, an act of attainder was passed against herfor aiding and abetting her sons Henry and Reginald Pole and having ‘committed and perpetrated diverse and sundry other detestable and abominable treasons’. On 27 May 1541, Margaret, the Plantagenet heiress, was executed at the Tower of London. Just as her father and brother had been before her.
