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 prince who was promised: the prodigal son, blood of the ruby red dragon and the bleeding sun, cleaved down by his own usurper-aunt and bastard brother. i call that a song of ice and fire, baby!!!

aka “the thought of the triumphant and beloved prince who would make an excellent king coming to westeros, reclaiming his father’s throne, and then getting cast down by the protagonists of the story anyways despite being a good fit for the crown? that’s some bittersweet Ice and Fire, baby"

Tariffs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIhO4AJ1ZBY 

High tariffs are historically accompanied by extreme wealth gains for the capitalist class

High tariffs may promote the rebirth of domestic manufacturing, but those job/salary gains are offset by an increase in consumer prices

Tariffs artificially inflate the prices of foreign products, and reduce competition for domestic producers, allowing them to jack up prices in turn

Conversely, free trade (ex. NAFTA), destroys domestic manufacturing and enables American companies to offshore manufacturing and pay foreign workers a fraction of what they would have to pay American workers, increasing corporate profits

If Trump was serious about promoting American industry and helping the working class, he would use our tax dollars to fund factory-building, but instead, he wants to cut taxes for the 1%

Trumps wants to use tariffs to fund the gov’t so he can eliminate the progressive income tax
