Materialist: Everything is matter. Consciousness and thought are products of matter (your body.)
Idealist: The world is a product of your thoughts.
Dualist: Everything in the world is matter, but consciousness and the soul are spiritual. God is separate from his creation.
This is just my impression, so you're also free to debate the definitions.

I'm a Cucurbita. I believe in topsoil, water and sunlight.
Santa makes lots of lists.
I'm whatever I want to be, but, I'm not really quite sure what that is, at all, these days.
Does anything work better to model the world and history than dialectical materialism?
It's a legitimate question. Marx's adaptation of Hegelian dialectics -- thesis, antithesis, synthesis -- to real world problems and situations, rather than just abstract ideals, is quite powerful. It's worked well for the Chinese lately, in improving the lot of Chinese citizens. I suspect much of my actual thinking could be classified as falling into the category of dialectical materialism.
