In the Hegelian model, there is actually scant room for "synthesis," or "compromise." Rather, one point of view will overcome an opposing POV by logical force.

Therefore your post brilliantly explains, IMHO, why the GOP is a useless political apparatus in the present time. They seek compromise, while the Left does not. One cannot play by Aristotle's rules when the other team is using Hegel's!

A political application of Hegelian principles might be for a politician to declare, or even actually cause, a crisis or a problem that only he can solve by offering the only apparent solution!

The Hegelian Dialectic is the philosophical precursor of the Marxist Dialectic. Hegel is the strategist behind Alinsky's tactics.

Even at 5 years old, my little brother was smarter than the average GOP member. He and his friend were arguing and his friend told him, "I'm going to hit you, but don't you hit mr back".

My brother instinctively knew this was not a good proposition and assured him that if it came to hitting, he would get his licks in. Today's GOP seems to think it is an acceptable "compromise".

Liberalism isn't the only menatl disease in our politics - the GOP seems every bit as deranged and suicidal.
