Dialectic analysis: relativist dyslexia on the march
Greg has been bitten by the Hegel bug. Below is a short essay he sent me. Read that if you can't deal with my prose.
The dialectical analysis, discussed below, is used by social engineers to manipulate you. This is old hat that we are finally understanding in the U.S. The NAZI's, socialists, communists and so on, existed by applying this model as a tool, though originally used to describe how ideas evolve. The "right," for want of a better word, in the U.S. sort of applies good-old PR, but we are dealing here with a far more subtle con game.
Americans are pretty sophisticated in the face of advertising, puffing, and spin. That is because we remain a competitive, mercantile society. Over time "caveat emptor" builds a sophisticated populace (one not needing the government to shop for us.)
We are morons when confronted by the use of manipulation of our basic beliefs, down to the glue that holds the family together. If you think there is something weird going on about "political incorrectness" you have a good instinct. It is a good exercise to see how the Hitler Youth were created and used to alter the basic nature of a Christian nation. I say this as Mr. Obama is working on creating his own youth army. Had the ACORN criminals not been outed, we would be well on the way to having polling stations populated by cadres of toughs, but that battle has only been stalled.
The shifting arguments that you see on TV every night are not the result of stupid people talking past each other. Sure you get frustrated by the "political" talk, the apparent avoidance of answering, but most talking heads know exactly what is being asked and what the answer is. They just have no interest in that conversation. If you think so, you are a sucker. Indeed, even the questions asked, and how they are asked, skew conversation.
No, "liberals," as Marxists and Statists are not stupid. Yes, they are lying, but to them it is not a lie in the traditional sense of, for example, denying you took a lunch out of the communal refrigerator. The manipulators are merely providing disinformation or irrelevant information necessary to affect your mind; everything is spin to trick the listener - there is not even a consideration of having a rational discussion of facts and beliefs.
The Marxists have zero interest in a sensible budget or paying down our debt. You think so because that is your frame-of-reference. Now, see it from the point of view of one attempting to destroy the system. What do they care if they obliterate an enemy to the whatever this new world order is. (Seems to me to be the very rich organizing things for business by "using" activists of all sorts.)
Now, a strong Judeo-Christian-Buddhist philosophy will see intentional lying, but, as the new argument is everything is relative, there is no lying. Indeed, talking heads still back off from the question: "Isn't he lying?" (This week about the President.) The interviewee will smile an "aw shuck" grin and mumble about people just being political. That is the substance of the relativist logic: other people do it, there is no standard to apply, so "aw shucks" boys will be boys, unless they attempt to sign a bill under the Constitution of Wisconsin that the relativists don't like. Can't have a legalistic spin, just not cricket.
The Marxists present themselves as "liberals" and assume real liberals are with them. The "media" and our schools push this understanding. Eventually, a perfectly nice, traditional liberal, a person who believes in individual rights and that government should help individuals, finds himself voting for fascists and Marxists. They do so out of a social connection to the traditional liberal community, not knowing that has long been corrupted.
The Hegelian principles at work have changed the argument of the, well, weak minded. (I don't know a nice euphemism, but no slur intended. Perhaps, naive is nicer, but a naive person is not automatically gullible.)
Please read the simple, short essay below (the publisher is ticked about people using it for commercial reasons and not paying, so think about buying - click on headline). It will explain most of what you find confusing in today's non-intellectual discussions.
My point, here, is this: when you read about how social engineers accomplish their tasks so well, consider why they are now having success in the U.S. They did great in Europe seventy five years ago and managed to have a fine war, but why now in the U.S.? The answer is simple and it has been understood by leftists for a hundred years: Americans have had strong religious, family, and community beliefs. They had the affrontery to believe they were superior to the government.
Thus, no fancy mind games worked. If you lied, you lied. If you killed, you killed. One got married before having children. People were responsible for their family and for themselves. People wanted to raise families in a nurturing community governed my morality. These firm beliefs were a firm barrier to any insidious corruption of manipulators.
If one has a clear morality, then Hegel is just an interesting exercise, not a useful weapon. If one has no beliefs, i.e. "relativism," then one is sucked into the prattle of Hegelian dialect. Political correctness makes sense to those with no moral or philosophical center. "Tolerance" becomes a virtue rather than a withholding of prejudice.
It is not a virtue to tolerate another, that is arrogance modified by a smug air of superiority, which superiority is readily removed to destroy those who disagree on threatening matters. To tolerate another means: I have the correct notions and judge yours not within my values, but will permit you to believe in yours, as the group thinks that is a good thing. (Can't have any set values!) Thus, the group has taken control over individual morality. Group think changes with the wind, so suddenly it is fine for "liberal" and "tolerant" people to kill Jews.
The KGB, long ago, outlined how to attack our culture indirectly. They say this, I am not making it up. They knew that America was impervious to direct attack. They were right and their new efforts of subversion are effective, picked up by all manner of statists such as the Frankfurt group (Columbia U became their home, you know the place Mr. Obama is said to have attended.)
There remains a methodical assault on religious beliefs, the Constitution, sexual role clarity, marriage, modesty, and individual rights. If you think this is just Hegelian evolution toward a new synthesis, it is not really as it was a direct attack on the "thesis." Our main theses have been mocked, denuded, often undercut by law, and rendered politically incorrect.
Now, our "thesis" is a weak-minded set of platitudes. If you think this is not the result of focused and funded activity, you are lost.
Apply the skepticism you have acquired from watching TV commercials. Nothing is as it seems.
What Is The Hegelian Dialectic?

"... 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 priveleges.'" -- Author/historian William Shirer, quoting Hegel in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1959)
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was a 19th century German philosopher and theologist who wrote The Science of Logic in 1812. For many historians, Hegel is "perhaps the greatest of the German idealist philosophers."
In 1847 the London Communist League (Karl Marx and Friedrich 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 for the future.
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 stop land grabs, privacy invasions, expanded domestic police powers, insane wars against inanimate objects (and transient verbs), covert actions, and outright assaults on individual liberty, is to step outside the dialectic. Only then can we be released from the limitations of controlled and guided thought.
When we understand what motivated Hegel, we can see his influence on all of our destinies. Then we become real players in the very real game that has been going on for at least 224 years.
Hegelian conflicts steer every political arena on the planet, from the United Nations to the major American politicalparties, 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.

Introduction: Why study Hegel?
