Introduction: Why study
Hegel?

"...the State 'has the supreme right against the individual,
whose supreme duty is to be a member of the State... for the right of the
world spirit is above all special privileges.'" Author/historian William
Shirer, quoting Georg Hegel in his The Rise and Fall of the Third
Reich (1959, page
144)

In 1847 the London Communist League (Karl Marx and Frederick
Engels) used Hegel's theory of the dialectic to back up their
economic theory of communism. Now, in the 21st century, Hegelian-Marxist
thinking affects our entire social and political structure. The Hegelian dialectic is the framework for guiding our
thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution.
If we do not understand how the Hegelian dialectic shapes our perceptions of
the world, then we do not know how we are helping to implement the vision. When we remain locked into dialectical
thinking, we cannot see out of the box.

Hegel's dialectic is the
tool which manipulates us into a frenzied circular pattern of thought and
action. Every time we fight for or defend against an ideology we are playing a
necessary role in Marx and Engels' grand design to advance humanity into a
dictatorship of the proletariat. The synthetic Hegelian solution to all these conflicts can't be introduced
unless we all take a side that will advance the agenda. The Marxist's global
agenda is moving along at breakneck speed. The only
way to completely stop the privacy invasions, expanding domestic police
powers, land grabs, insane wars against inanimate objects (and transient
verbs), covert actions, and outright assaults on individual liberty, is to
step outside the dialectic. This releases us from the limitations of
controlled and guided thought.

When we understand what motivated
Hegel, we can see his influence on all of our destinies. ... Hegelian
conflicts steer every political arena on the planet, from the United
Nations to the major American political parties, all the way down to local
school boards and community councils. Dialogues and consensus-building are
primary tools of the dialectic, and terror and intimidation are also
acceptable formats for obtaining the goal. The ultimate Third Way agenda is world government. Once we get
what's really going on, we can cut the strings and move our lives in original
directions outside the confines of the dialectical madness. Focusing on
Hegel's and Engel's ultimate agenda, and avoiding getting caught up in their
impenetrable theories of social
evolution, gives us the opportunity to think and act our way toward
freedom, justice, and genuine liberty for all.

Today the dialectic is
active in every political issue that encourages taking sides. We can see it in
environmentalists instigating conflicts against private property owners, in
democrats against republicans, in greens against libertarians, in communists
against socialists, in neo-cons against traditional conservatives, in
community activists against individuals, in pro-choice versus pro-life, in
Christians against Muslims, in isolationists versus interventionists, in peace
activists against war hawks. No matter what the issue, the invisible dialectic
aims to control both the conflict and the resolution of differences, and leads
everyone involved into a new cycle of conflicts.

We're definitely not
in Kansas anymore.

Definitions:

Merriam-Webster:

"Dialectic ....the Hegelian process of change in which
a concept or its realization passes over into and is preserved and fulfilled
by its opposite... development through the stages of thesis, antithesis, and
synthesis in accordance with the laws of dialectical materialism ....any
systematic reasoning, exposition, or argument that juxtaposes opposed or
contradictory ideas and usually seeks to resolve their conflict
...
....the dialectical tension or opposition between two interacting
forces or elements."

"Dialectical Materialism ... 1 :
the Marxist theory that maintains the material basis of a reality constantly
changing in a dialectical process and the priority of matter over
mind."

Wikipedia:

"Hegel's dialectic often appears broken up for convenience
into three moments called "thesis" (in the French historical example, the
revolution), "antithesis" (the terror which followed), and "synthesis" (the
constitutional state of free citizens). ... Much Hegel scholarship does not
recognize the usefulness of this triadic classification for shedding
light on Hegel's thought. Although Hegel refers to "the two elemental
considerations: first, the idea of freedom as the absolute and final aim;
secondly, the means for realising it, i.e. the subjective side of knowledge
and will, with its life, movement, and activity" (thesis and antithesis)
he doesn't use "synthesis" but instead speaks of the "Whole": "We
then recognised the State as the moral Whole and the Reality of Freedom, and
consequently as the objective unity of these two elements."
...

"Hegel used this system of dialectics to explain the whole of the
history of philosophy, science, art, politics and religion, but many modern
critics point out that Hegel often seems to gloss over the realities of
history in order to fit it into his dialectical mold....

In the 20th
century, Hegel's philosophy underwent a major renaissance. This was due
partly to the rediscovery and reevaluation of him as the philosophical
progenitor of Marxism by philosophically oriented Marxists, partly through a
resurgence of the historical perspective that Hegel brought to everything,
and partly through increasing recognition of the importance of his
dialectical method. The book that did the most to reintroduce Hegel into the
Marxist canon was perhaps Georg Lukacs's History and Class Consciousness.
This sparked a renewed interest in Hegel reflected in the work of Herbert
Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch....

"Beginning in the 1960's, Anglo-American Hegel scholarship has
attempted to challenge the traditional interpretation of Hegel as offering a
metaphysical system." See Popular Occultism

The Hegelian dialectical formula: A (thesis) versus B (anti-thesis) equals C (synthesis).

For
example: If (A) my idea of freedom conflicts with (B) your idea of freedom
then (C) neither of us can be free until everyone agrees to be a
slave.

The Soviet Union was based on the Hegelian dialectic, as is all
Marxist writing. The Soviets didn't give up their Hegelian reasoning when they
supposedly stopped being a communist country. They merely changed the
dialectical language to fit into the modern version of Marxist thinking called
communitarianism. American author Steve Montgomery explores Moscow's adept use
of the Hegelian dialectic in Glasnost-Perestroika: A Model Potemkin Village.

How is it possible to consider a Hegelian
argument?

If the ideas, interpretations of experiences, and the
sources are all wrong, can a conclusion based on all these wrong premises be
sound? The answer is no. Two false premises do not make a sound conclusion
even if the argument follows the formula. Three, four, five, or six false
premises do not all combine to make a conclusion sound. You must have at least
one sound premise to reach a sound conclusion. Logical mathematical formulas
are only the basis for deductive reasoning. Equally important is knowledge of
semantics, or considering the meanings of the words used in the argument. Just
because an argument fits the formula, it does not necessarily make the
conclusion sound. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel knew this when he designed his
dialectic.

Hegel is an imperialist con artist who established the
principles of dialectical "no-reason." Hegel's dialectic has allowed
globalists to lead simple, capable, freeborn men and women back into the
superstitious, racist and unreasonable age of imperial global dominance.
National governments represent people who are free from imperial controls over
private property, trade and production. National governments protect their
workers from imperial slavery by protecting the worker's markets. But if you
use Hegel's logical Marxism, the only way to protect people from slavery is to
become the slave trader, just for a while. Twisted logic is why cons are so
successful, and Hegel twisted it in such a way as to be "impenetrable." Like
Hegel and Marx, the best street con knows his spiel has to use logic to bend
and distort the story, and good cons weave their lies on logical mathematical
progression. The fallacy is in the language, not in the math. Detective
Phillip Worts' 2001 article Communist Oriented Policing is a nice explanation
of Dialectical Materialism's influence on America.

The communitarian purpose for the Hegelian
dialectic

Hegel's theory is basically that mankind is merely a series of
constant philosophical conflicts. Hegel was an idealist who believed that the highest state of
mankind can only be attained through constant ideological conflict and
resolution. The rules of the dialectic means mankind can only reach its
highest spiritual consciousness through endless self-perpetuating struggle
between ideals, and the eventual synthesizing of all opposites. Hegel's
dialectic taught all conflict takes man to the next spiritual level. But in
the final analysis, this ideology simply justifies conflict and endless war.
It is also the reasoning behind using military power to export an illogical
version of freedom and false democratic ideals.

The reason we can call it
the justification for modern conflicts and war, with impunity, is because no
one can prove Hegel's theory is true. No matter how many new words they make
up to define it, or how many new theories they come up with to give it
validity, we can prove beyond a doubt that it is all false. And, we can show
the final equation in Hegels' Dialectic is:

A: The [your nation goes
here] System of Political Economy (List 1841)
B: state controlled world
communism
C: state controlled global communitarianism.

The Hegelian dialectic is
the ridiculous idea that constant conflict and continual merging of opposite
ideologies, as established by extreme right or left belief systems, will lead
spiritual mankind into final perfection. (Americans understood man's spiritual
quests to be outside the realm of government control). Hegel's brilliance
rests in his ability to confuse and obfuscate the true motives of the
planners, and millions of people world-wide have been trying to make sense of
why it doesn't work for over 150 years. But like the AA definition of
insanity, the world keeps trying it over and over expecting different results.
...

When Frederick Engels and Karl Marx based their communist theory on
Hegel's theory of spiritual advancement via constant resolution of
differences, they based the theory of communism on an unproven
theory.

While Darwin's theory of evolution is still being debated,
there's absolutely no proof that societies are continually evolving. When
Engels and Marx later based their communist theory on Lewis Henry Morgan's
theory of anthropology in 1877, they again based the theory of communism on an
unprovable theory.

And when Amitai Etzioni used Hegelian reasoning to base the
Communitarian Network on a "balance" between (A) Rights and (B)
Responsibilities, he built the entire theory of (C) communitarianism on
nothing but disproven and unprovable unscientific theories....

Already
gaining substantial ground against the Americans, British Marxism was
bolstered when Charles Darwin published his theory of human evolution in 1859.
Engels, according to modern day scholars, seized upon Darwin's theory to
substantiate communism:

"When Marx read The Origin of Species he wrote to Engels that,
'although it is developed in the crude English style, this is the book which
contains the basis in natural history for our view.' They turned against
what they saw as the social, as opposed to the biological, implications of
Darwinism when they realised that it contained no support for their
shibboleth of class oppression. Since they were slippery customers rather
than scientists, they were not likely to relinquish their views just because
something did not fit." (see: Marxism and Darwinism by Anton Pannekoek,
1912.)

In 1877 Lewis Henry Morgan published Ancient Society, or
Researches in Life, Lines of Human Progress from Savagery, through Barbarism,
to Civilization. Then the "slippery" Engels seized upon Morgan's work as the
constantly "evolving" basis for the totally unsubstantiated theory of natural
social evolution into utopian world communism....

Hegel's formula has
been so successful that in 2003 all U.S. domestic and foreign policy is
dominated by "communitarian thinking," the whole country is living under the
new laws, and yet Americans most affected by "impenetrable" Hegelian laws have
never once heard the term used.

Conclusion:

The Hegelian dialectic presupposes the factual basis for the
theory of social evolutionary principles, which coincidentally backed up Marx.
Marx's Darwinian theory of the "social evolution of the species," (even though
it has been used for a century to create a vast new scientific community,
including eugenics and socio-economics), does not adhere to the basis for all
good scientific research, and appears to exist mainly to advance itself, and
all its sub-socio-scientific arms, as the more moral human science. To the ACL
this means the entire basis for the communitarian solution is based on a false
premise, because there is no FACTUAL basis that "social evolution of the
species" exists, based as it is only on Darwinian and Marxist ideology of
man's "natural" evolution towards a British version of utopia.

The
London-Marxist platform in 1847 was "to abolish private property." The
American Revolution was based in private property rights. Marxist societies
confiscate wealth and promise to "re-distribute it equally." America promised
everyone they could keep and control what was the product of their own labor.
Modern Marxist adherents openly claim they will "rebuild the world," and they
train activist "change agents" to openly support overthrowing the legitimate
governments of the world. Since their inception, Marxist agent provocateurs
can be linked to every anarchist assassination and student uprising that
caused chaos to the established European civilization throughout the 18th and
19th centuries. Modern Americans have succumbed to the conspiracy theory label
and will only listen to what the propaganda machines tell them. Now our people
don't believe anyone other than maybe the Arab world "hates our freedom." Most
modern Americans will never know what went wrong with their "great experiment
in democracy."

While the Marxist-communitarian argument has not
provided a shred of evidence to prove their utopian vision, and their
synthesis does not match their own projected conclusions of world justice, we
are convinced their argument does in fact substantiate our conclusion, that
the entire philosophical dialectical argument is nothing but a brilliant ruse.
We used to call it "a cheap parlor trick" until a responder to this page
wondered how we could call it "cheap" when it's been so successful. And he was
right. The dialectical arguments for human rights, social equity, and world
peace and justice are a perfectly designed diversion in the defeated British
Empire's Hegelian-Fabian-Metaphysical-Theosophical Monopoly game. It's the
most successful con job in the history of the modern world. (For a well
presented Christian overview of the con, see American Babylon: Part Five-the
Triumph of the Merchants by Peter Goodgame.)

The communitarian
synthesis is the final silent move in a well-designed, quietly implemented
plot to re-make the world into colonies. To us it doesn't matter if there is
some form of ancient religion that propels the plotters, nor does it really
matter if it turns out they're aliens (as some suggest). The bottom line is
the Hegelian dialectic sets up the scene for state intervention, confiscation,
and redistribution in the U.S., and this is against our ENTIRE constitutional
based society. The Hegelian dialectic is not a conspiracy theory because the
Conspiracy Theory is a fraud. We've all been duped by global elitists who plan
to take totalitarian control of all nation's people, property, and produce.
Communitarian Plans exist in every corner of the world, and nobody at the
local level will explain why there's no national legal avenue to withdraw from
the U.N.'s "community" development plans.

The Fabian Society of Australia explains the
Hegelian-Marxist Third Way synthesis. "Re-inventing Collectivism: The new
Social Democracy" by Mark Latham, Member for Werriwa Third Way Conference,
Centre for Applied Economic Research, University of New South Wales, Sydney,
12 July 2001:

"Over the past decade, a group of social democrats have moved
down the reinvention path. They have developed a distinctive political
project, exploring the new institutions and forums of a collective society.
In the United States, Bill Clinton called it the Third Way. In Britain, Tony
Blair has made it the work of New Labour."

Quotes that validate the ACL thesis that communitarians IS the
synthesis in the Hegelian dialectic:

"People are living in a snarled-up subset of Marx's thinking,
and do not know it. They twist logic to get to conclusions that will suit
the current prejudices. They garnish it with a little Christianity or
mysticism or whatever, though these play no important part in their world
outlook." TRUTH OVERLOOKED: THE LEGACY OF LIST by Gwydion M. Williams
(also available via Cal State LA-POLS 426 online reading list.)

"The Socialist Alliance programme is the foundation upon which
everything else is built, including in time our exact organisational forms
and constantly shifting tactics. The programme links our continuous
and what should be all-encompassing agitational work with our ultimate
aim of a communitarian, or communist, system. Our programme thus
establishes the basis for agreed action and is the lodestar, the point of
reference, around which the voluntary unity of the Socialist Alliance is
built and concretised. Put another way, the programme represents the
dialectical unity between theory and practice." [emphasis added] Posted by
Weekly Worker 368, January 25 2001. See also: "The transition to the
communitarian system" in the same issue of the American Communist Party's
Weekly Worker.

"The market economics of the Right and the government
bureaucracies of the Left have weakened society's connectedness. They have
not been effective forums for collective action. For Right-wing politics,
this is not much of an issue. It has always believed in the supremacy of
individual freedom and individual action. For the Left, however, it is a
huge problem.
"The old ideologies
positioned politics as a struggle for ownership, the historic battle between
socialism and capitalism. The Third Way, by contrast, sees politics
as an exercise in communitarianism:
rebuilding the relationships and social capital between people. It
aims to put the social back into social justice. This is an important
strategy for combating individualism and generating a sense of collective
responsibility in society."
Australian Fabian Society, "Re-inventing
Collectivism: The new Social Democracy" by Mark Latham, Member for Werriwa
Third Way Conference, Centre for Applied Economic Research, University of
New South Wales, Sydney, 12 July 2001

"In a passage that is notable for its
vagueness, Azevedo says that the CEBs should be the basis for a new
communitarianism that rejects the two "bankrupt" models and systems "that
are now polarizing the world," capitalism and Marxist socialism. This
communitarianism is to be "a dialectical synthesis, a new creation,
superimposing itself on thesis and antithesis rather than retrieving them."
The passage illustrates the controversy in Latin American Catholicism
between those who continue to endorse the "third-position-ism" (tercerismo)
of Catholic social teaching and those (including all liberation theologians
that I know of) who believe that only socialism can be in accord with
Christian values." Theology Today-Basic Ecclesial Communities in Brazil:
