Hegelism is like a mental disease; you can't know what it is until you get it...

>Hegelism is like a mental disease; you can't know what it is until you get it, and then you can't know because you have got it -- Max Eastman

Is Eastman right though? And if you disagree: why deny the simply facts of life?

How else are we to account for Engels's own 're-discovery' of dialectics later in life, after a brief youthful dalliance and subsequent rejection of it in the 1840s (alongside Marx)? How else can we make sense of an analogous course taken by Lenin and Trotsky?

Admittedly, it isn't easy for Marxists to accept the validity of this depiction of the founders of our movement, in view of the almost god-like stature these comrades have assumed over the years. That, of course, is part of the problem! It prevents revolutionaries thinking for themselves, 'outside the box', in this direction, lest they are branded "Revisionists!", or traitors to the cause. This helps guarantee that they, too, put a slavish adherence to tradition ahead of the search for truth.
In this way, and to change the image, the gravitational pull of the Black Whole of Hegelian Idealism would become irresistible --, indeed, as Hegel himself foresaw:
>Every philosophy is essentially an idealism or at least has idealism for its principle, and the question then is only how far this principle is carried out

Nevertheless, this goes some way toward explaining Engels's later drift back into Hegelian Idealism. In his case, it accounts for his use of Hegel's obscure concepts as a "master key" to unlock nature's underlying secrets, which supposedly govern all of material reality for all of time, even while he denied he was doing just that!

This also helps account for the fact that subsequent generations of revolutionaries have uncritically accepted a demonstrably, if not lamentably, weak theory, and one that has presided over decade after decade of failure.

These theorists and these activists have consistently displayed a level of philosophical gullibility that is impossible to explain in any other way -- especially in view of the fact that elsewhere they think and behave like hard-headed materialists --, except we appeal to extra-logical factors, such as their class origin and their need for some form of consolation in the face of long-term failure. You guys have no idea how many contemporary Marxists, are going exclusively analytic. And this is only the beginning.

Hegel was a sorcerer and the Left and Right being lobotomized bastard children of Liberalism and Conservativsm don’t get this. He advocated for a supreme divine state much like the Reich or the USSR’s plans for Europe and so you can take his insights and use them to justify extreme statism or some kind of techno-socialist autarchy. Right Hegelians focus on his dealings with Spirit, Leftists focus mostly on the Dialectic itself and try to secularize that as some type of silent-pneumatic machinery that drives history towards class conflict and communist statism. They’re both insane and Hegel’s phenomenology is a form of memetic psychoactive agent that binds the minds of everyone who reads it. Its venom, pure necrotizing linguistic magic. He was a genius for this reason. Also if you’re not an autistic retard he basically shows you how the techno-alchemical engineers of civilization are transforming humanity into a sacrificial killing field for otherworldly forces but that’s not interesting to rightists or leftists because they’re castrati golem creatures who only exist to poke holes in the barrier between man’s conscious rational awareness and his subconscious cthonic realm. If you wait long enough Hegel’s name will come up in most discussions by these groups. He’s the root of all their lunacy.

nutrients are sentient

Boldly boasted that he killed God. Hegel was a pure sorcerer and dialectics is pure satanism.

Hegel is the Anti Christ
October 31st 1831 Hegel is witnessed to have burst into flames and disappear from this earth.

Writings found outlining spirits corruption by evil. Satanic altar. Books burned.

Satanic Hegelian rituals outlawed. Erased.

Source?

i second this, i was just trying to look for anything about hegel "bursting into flames" and nothing came up.

Just read Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition. All the answers you seek are in there.

Protip: Hegel's main guy was Jakob Böhme.

That books is quite expensive, but I'll consider doing research on it.

Its well worth it.
