New discourses and old ideas: How dialectics are robbing us of reason

 


How the obscure and poorly understood origins of WOKE ideology have captured Canadian political discourse:

Without the philosophical ideas of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel being used to push progressivism the idea of marrying two mutually exclusive concepts to claim that they are one in the same thing could not have caught on. What those who accept Hegel's illogical nonsense fail to recognize is that his dialectical arguments are based on logical fallacies. Marrying two opposites cannot make them one and the same. Men are not women and therefore cannot become women. Yet such dialectical arguments reveal how the left operates. Dialectical arguments are like its computer coding. Dialectical reasoning forms the basis for the radical left’s ideological positions. And since they form its basis, we must explore these logical fallacies to deconstruct their progressive agenda. The first thing we ought to understand is what they mean by progressive. When the left talks about progressive values they are referring to using dialectics to advance a cultural revolution. Since the dialectical arguments are used to create language, language which is deliberately confusing, we need to understand they do so to create new categories of being that cannot and do not exist. Exposing this will often leave us open to the left's violent opposition to truth and reason. The radical left uses dialectical arguments to tear down everything from the past which has worked to replace function with dysfunction and dialectical idiocy.

Famed German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer suggested as a motto for Hegel’s philosophy some words of Shakespeare: ‘such stuff as madmen tongue and brain not’. Schopenhauer stated that: "Hegel, installed from above, by the powers that be, as the certified Great Philosopher, was a flat-headed, insipid, nauseating, illiterate charlatan, who reached the pinnacle of audacity in scribbling together and dishing up the craziest mystifying nonsense. This nonsense has been noisily proclaimed as immortal wisdom by mercenary followers and readily accepted as such by all fools, who thus joined into as perfect a chorus of admiration as had ever been heard before. The extensive field of spiritual influence with which Hegel was furnished by those in power has enabled him to achieve the intellectual corruption of a whole generation."

Schopenhauer regarded Hegel as a paid agent of the Prussian dictatorship of his time. Time has demonstrated that Schopenhauer was correct since the Hegelian Dialectic has been employed to advance the cause of every manner of radical illiberal ideology which has resulted in civil unrest, oppression, tyranny, mass murder, war, economic ruin, and totalitarianism. Need we then wonder why Trudeau’s entire political reasoning rests upon ideological nonsense? Should we be amazed that he supports the ongoing unwinnable war in the Ukraine? Should we be surprised that a member of the Waffen SS was just this past week given a standing ovation in the Canadian legislature for fighting with the Nazis against Russia during WWII? After all the Russians were our allies during WWII! Canada has been driven to madness by dialectical illogic and we must not permit its WOKE unreason to stand unchallenged or it will have achieved the intellectual corruption of a whole generation!

Let us examine the totalitarian ideologies which employed the use of Hegelian Dialectics:

Although this is a difficult question to answer since different totalitarian ideologies may have different degrees of influence from Hegelian dialectics. As I have previously stated Hegelian dialectics is a philosophical method of reasoning that involves a thesis, an antithesis, and a synthesis. Hegel believed that this process of dialectical reasoning was the driving force of history and the expression of the absolute spirit, another hint at the hermetic and mysterious nature of Hegelian argument.

Some totalitarian ideologies which have been influenced by Hegelian dialectics are:

- *Nazism*: Adolf Hitler and his followers were inspired by Hegel's idea of the state as the embodiment of the absolute spirit and the highest expression of human freedom. They also used Hegel's concept of the master-slave dialectic to justify their racial supremacy and oppression of other groups.

- *Communism*: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were influenced by Hegel's dialectical method and his analysis of history, but they rejected his idealism and replaced it with materialism. Hence the academic name for Marxism being Dialectical Materialism. They argued that history was driven by the dialectical conflict between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and that this would eventually lead to a communist society where class antagonisms would be resolved.

- *Fascism*: Benito Mussolini and other fascist leaders adopted some aspects of Hegel's philosophy, such as his view of the state as a moral entity and a source of collective will. They also used Hegel's notion of historical necessity to justify their totalitarian rule and aggressive expansionism.

How were Hegelian dialectics used to create Neo-Marxist Critical Theory which is the spiritual source of WOKE mysticism?

Hegelian dialectics played a significant role in the development of critical theory, particularly through the work of thinkers like Karl Marx and the Frankfurt School. Here's a simplified overview:

1. *Hegelian Dialectics*: In Hegelian philosophy, dialectics involve a process of thesis-antithesis-synthesis, where contradictions in ideas and social structures lead to their transformation into higher forms. This approach emphasized historical development and change through the clash of opposing forces.

2. *Marxist Application*: Karl Marx adapted Hegelian dialectics to analyze the material conditions of society. He used dialectical thinking to critique capitalism, viewing class struggle as the driving force of history. Marx's historical materialism can be seen as a dialectical process of societal transformation.

3. *Critical Theory Emergence*: The Frankfurt School, a group of intellectuals in the 20th century, integrated Marxist and Hegelian ideas into their critical theory. They sought to understand the cultural and ideological aspects of society's problems. Instead of focusing solely on economics, they examined how power, culture, and ideology were interrelated.

4. *Dialectical Approach*: Critical theorists, like Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer, used dialectical thinking to uncover hidden power structures and contradictions in society. They believed that by critically examining these contradictions, individuals could gain awareness and potentially work towards social change.

5. *Praxis*: Critical theory emphasized the importance of praxis, which means putting theory into practice. This involved not just analyzing society but actively engaging in social change efforts to address systemic inequalities and injustices.

The very fact that the Liberal Party of Canada still defines themselves as being liberal is an example of the application of dialectics to merge and conflate two impossible opposites: namely freedom and slavery, individual rights versus collective entitlement, and economic liberty versus a controlled economy. So here are some key reasons that Classical Liberalism has resulted in individual liberty, economic prosperity, and the emergence of a middle class which is now under siege from the Liberal Party of Canada:

1. **Protection of Individual Freedom**: Classical liberalism holds that the central problem of politics is the protection of individual freedom or liberty. This includes the protection of property rights and the freedom to engage in commerce, which can enable individuals to improve their economic status and potentially move into the middle class.

2. **Promotion of Economic Liberalization**: Classical liberalism generally advocates for a free-market economy, where businesses and consumers can operate with minimal government intervention. This can lead to economic growth and prosperity, creating more opportunities for individuals to enter the middle class.

3. **Decentralization and Division of Power**: Classical liberalism often involves a decentralization of power, which can prevent predatory taxation or arbitrary confiscations of property. This can create a more favorable environment for economic growth and the expansion of the middle class.

4. **Advocacy for Social Reforms**: Over time, classical liberalism has sought to foster a plurality of different ways of life by protecting the rights and interests of various social groups, including the middle class.

If you were to use Hegelian Dialectics to examine the differences between Classical Liberalism and Progressive politics today you would need to define Classical Liberalism as Thesis, WOKE Progressivism as the Antithesis to arrive at the Synthesis of the Liberal Party of Canada which is an impossible blending of two opposing ideas which are akin to mixing oil and water, or perhaps even matches and gasoline since they seek to burn it all down! The incredible benefits enjoyed by countries that have embraced Classical Liberal ideals to apply them has arguably created the greatest advances in human prosperity for the benefit of all mankind in all of human history. Yet instead of pursuing these advances Woke progressivism seeks to teardown what has worked to replace that with renewed calls for tribalism, division and illiberal authoritarian government. Dialectical reasoning is nonsense that has been noisily proclaimed as immortal wisdom by mercenary followers and readily accepted as such by all fools, who thus joined into as perfect a chorus of admiration as had ever been heard before. The extensive field of spiritual influence with which Hegel’s dialectic has been employed by those in power has enabled them to achieve the intellectual corruption of an entire generation, to paraphrase Schopenhauer. Only we can stand in the gap between ideological possession and reason to restore sanity to public discourse!
