Here is a very brief overview of the communist dialectic, courtesy of WND:

What is the dialectic? It is the means by which the far left moves our society slowly but inexorably in its direction -- toward socialism. The dialectical process was conceived in the early 19th century by German philosopher, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), a pantheist, who believed in a world soul that was using the dialectic process to achieve its own perfection. Since the human race was part of the world soul, our history was also part of this ongoing dialectical process, or conflict, between the thesis and the antithesis to form a new synthesis, which then becomes the new thesis. Karl Marx (1818-1883) junked the spiritual aspect of Hegel's dialectic, and attached it to a purely materialistic, godless view of the universe -- hence the creation of "dialectical materialism," the process whereby the human race inches toward communism.

Thanks for that. I avoided learning about soviet communism all my early years -- it was just too dreary to me. And then when the thaw began, thought I was off the hook.

Funny how it's coming back to hit us in the face. Guess I'll have to keep learning now not only about islam, but all that old dreary communist stuff...

Now I know. Had often heard that phrase but never looked into what it meant. Great, just great. Talk about a long-term plan.

Another way of saying dialectic would be "Problem-Reaction-Solution". The change agents manufacture a "problem", such as "endangered species". When the people catch wind of the problem, they get angry and have a "reaction". In our endangered species example, if the useful idiots are told that the spotted owl is endangered and will go extinct, then people start screaming for something to be done. Finally, the powers that be can implement their "solution", which on the surface solves the "problem", but really advances their agenda without raising any eyebrows. So in our example, the government closes down huge parcels of the forest from any human use. The greenies are happy and the powers that be are happy because they just implemented a UN agenda without anyone connecting it to the UN (or whoever really pulls the strings).
