Marx saw in Hegel a method by which his imaginations of a society freed from capitalism and Christianity could be realized and, making the dialectic materialistic, sought to replace them both with his vision of a perfected society, which he called Communism. Hegel saw Hermeticism and Alchemy as manifestations of a collective subconscious and that is how he could take them seriously (Glenn Alexander Magee Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition, p. To put it another way, the primary objective of science is truth – that of alchemy, operational success.” (George Soros, The Alchemy of Finance, 1994). The Alchemy of Finance states: “Scientific method seeks to understand things as they are, while alchemy seeks to bring about a desired state of affairs. Over the past few years, we have attempted to point towards the process of alchemy which can be loosely defined as the process of transmutation or changing one unique and defined object or substance into another. Hegel called its defining tool aufheben Marxists translated it this as “sublation,” to tear down, yet keep, even while lifting ( heben ) up ( auf ) to a higher level, and for him it was how History spirals along dialectically toward its perfected end. Marx was just one such player among them, and his followers just one species of thought in a broader genus of bad ideas. Hegel’s dialectical methodology (Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis or Abstract, Negative, Concrete or, metaphysically, Being, Nothing, Becoming ), also known as “negative thinking,” is the mode by which Leftists have sought to tear down Western Civilization and replace it with their own Utopia. Leftism since Hegel has moved dialectically, and Marx’s “dialectical materialism” is a consequence, not the source, of this. This isn’t wholly wrong, but when an examination of the gradualistic sense of the processwhich has been used to purposely evolve societal conceptions to the end goal of progressive operational success, the name and the methodologies of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel should immediately come to the forefront of discussion. When most commentators refer to the ideological state that Western civilization finds itself in today, the name most commonly used as the genesis of the rot that has infected our society is Karl Marx.
