where do ideas come from?

Marx' dialectical materialism wasn't really revolutionary, it was just a more convenient and down-to-earth version of dialectics when compared to Hegel's semi-comprehensible writings on the Spirit realizing itself.

Imagine a collection maritime poetry being so successful they release a second volume. Except it's just 100 repetitions of "sea is mostly blue and there are fish". Does it rhyme? Completely. Is it about the sea? Yeah. Is it true? Even more so than the poems. That's what dialectical materialism is to Hegelian ideas. Much easier to remember, apply and memorize, but overall kinda cringe.

Ideas originate in primitive humanity, and their development and evolution is directly tied to the changes in geographical resources, economics, previous human history and culture, and the social and political structure present at every moment in history. All of these are material, and they form the base of all ideas, philosophy, math and our conceptions of science in turn.

Idealism better

buddy it's the other way around - primitives are chtonic and so is materialism

^ this is btw why marxism has found such such fertile ground amongst savages and the uncivilized third worlders - it only deals with thing their little savage minds can comprehend

Marx never wrote the words "dialectical materialism" once in all his books. What Marx used was the dialectical method, which is essentially a sociological method of viewing society as conflicts. This is also why reading Marx as a historicism or an economism is "wrong" per se, Marx's use of the dialectic was purely "material" in the sense that it analyzed real-world interactions in between people and groups.
Dialectical materialism was developed later by Engels, notably in his anti-duhring. There, he theorized that matter was evolving "dialectically" and that motion itself was proof of the world changing because of contradictions (opposing tendencies/force). Dialectical materialism was paradoxically more idealist than Marx's materialism because it was holds the idea that there are certain objective "laws" that determine how the universe functions (unity of opposites, negation of negation and I can't remember the 3rd one). His theories were later reused by Plekhanov, a russian theorist, who gave Marx a much more historic nature and which was then used by the bolsheviks to justify exactions as part of the necessary course of history. This is also why if you ever encounter a Maoist they'll be adamant about how the world is actually the continuous movement of contradictions unfolding and that everything is le primary and secundary contradiction.
