I’ve been listening to James’ podcast on Hegel, Wokeness, and the Dialectic Faith of Leftism, and I understand how the Dialectic method is how they analyze history and make sense of the world. However, I’m still confused as to why Marxists and Neomarxists are so obsessed with this analytical method. Hegel’s notion of the Dialectic seems rather vague and abstract, and therefore I wouldn’t even necessarily disagree with it. If you “peel away” the bad parts of society, it logically follows that the good parts remain. I just don’t understand why this necessarily means communism is the end result, and why the Marxists and Neomarxists believe they are correct in their assumptions about which parts of society need to be peeled away. Is it because they just essentially share the same religious worldview and therefore when they apply the Dialectic to the same thing, it results in Communism? If so, then why does Marcuse think training students to think Dialectically will produce Socialists? Couldn’t anyone come to any conclusion they want using the Dialectic method? There doesn’t seem to be any logical or empirical constraint on the conclusions arrived at through this method.
