Blaming Hegel for totalitarianism is as stupid as blaming Einstein for the Russians getting the A bomb.
The dialectic is merely a way of analyzing how ideas interact. Only a complete fool would confuse a method of historical analysis with the actions of tyrants and dictators. American ‘Thinker’ has been circling the drain for some time now, and I think they are barely above National Enquirer ‘I feel like I’m losing IQ points with every paragraph’ at this point.
Well... Hegelian dialectics are often credited as the basis for Marx & Engle's dialectical materialism which became Stalin's historical materialism.
No telling how true the offspring were to their parents & grandparents in this case, but Ayn Rand credited Aristotle as the father of freedom while blaming Plato as the great-great-great grandfather of tyranny.
Doubtless it's gross simplification to line them all up like that...
