Problem – Reaction – Solution
By General Maddox.
What exactly is the Hegelian Dialectic? Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a 19th century German philosopher who devised a particular dialectic, or, method of argument for resolving disagreements. His method of arriving at the truth by the exchange of logical arguments is a system of thought process still in use to this day.
To put it simply, the basis of Hegelianism dictates that the human mind can’t understand anything unless it can be split into two polar opposites. Good / Evil, Right / Wrong, Left / Right.
For example when people are talking about 2 political parties, Labor or Liberal, Republican or Democrat, what they’re actually referring to, without realising it, is the thesis and the antithesis based off the Hegelian Dialectic. The only real debate that occurs is just the minor differences between those two parties. Nothing is said or done about the issues that neither left or right is discussing. This in particular will become more apparent as the election draws near.
Another form of the Hegelian Dialectic is Problem – Reaction – Solution. Most of us unwittingly fall victim to it all too often and sadly if we don’t stop, we will continue to lose our free will and liberties. It has been widely used by our governments and corporations around the world. You could say that in terms of controlling the masses, and society in general, it’s deployment has been an effective tool in keeping humanity in check.
Almost all major events in history employ the Hegelian Dialectic of:
Problem – manufacture a crisis or take advantage of one already in place in order to get the desired Reaction of public outcry whereby the public demands a Solution which has been predetermined from the beginning.
A classic example is 9/11.
Only when you break the left/right paradigm and come to the realisation that the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and the whole fake, and not to mention contradictory, war on terror was the desired outcome for the neo-conservatives within the Bush administration and the whole military industrial complex. They in fact stated in their own white papers the need for another catastrophic and catalysing event like a “new Pearl Harbour”.
Here’s a more current example of the Hegelian Dialectic in use. In Australia at present both of the main political parties on the eve of the upcoming election on September 7 are discussing “Boat People”. A derogatory term used to describe refugees and asylum seekers displaced by war or other hardships. I don’t believe they constitute what you would call a “crisis” as the statistics clearly show they aren’t, but for the purpose of this example, our Government is telling us they are a problem. The media is used to play up this problem in order to instigate a reaction (debate) in the public domain on how to tackle it. Both the opposition and ruling party offer their solution.
Again we see that the only real debate occurring is just the minor differences between those two parties. Nothing is said or done about the many other more important issues that neither left or right is discussing.
In order to avoid falling victim to the Hegelian Dialectic from now on you must remember the process involved. Anytime a major problem or issue arises in society think about who will gain or profit from it. Then remove yourself from the equation and take a step back to look at it from a third party perspective. See the so-called “problem”, look at who is reacting, why and in what way. Then look for who is offering up the solution.
When you do this from now on you’ll quickly see the real truth instead of the false truth they wanted you to see.

SUPERB PIECE ME BROTHERS!!! ABSOLUTELY SUPERB THE HEGELIAN DIALECTIC OR ‘FOOLS LOOP’ AS I LIKE TO CALL IT IS THE SINGLE MOST PREDOMINANT TOOL OF DECEPTION IN USE FOR THE LAST THREE CENTURIES AND NOBODY HAS EVEN HEARD OF IT! AMAZING! (IT’S LIKE THE MAX PLANCK OF THE EINSTEIN WORLD).
But, who is the FOOL? Who is being looped? I would say the dialectic // Problem is we are content with didactically looping the dialectic when, obviously, we are dealing with the breeding program to create machine parts (Pharaohs -> Plato) whose rational reduction (or enlightenment) is easily identifiable by its’ missing “frames of reference” —hahahaha! I am just looping you
The link below is a constructivist looping diagram that extends Peschl’s idea of loops that shows behavior and cognition as minor loops and “frame of reference” as the basis of “higher” thought — Peschl claims that not many have “frame of reference” and simply act through stimulation, didactic control, and imitation (Dawkins included). It has many real-life examples embedded.

My work (like this) finds evidence (of this) in the Occupy Wall Street movement through the (informational) hypothesis that “a copy of the problem is written in the solution.” We wind up worse that we started everytime. Sure enough, the dialectic appeared again and again as the revolutionary “method of the madness” (Evolve not revolve!)

When I recently learned that liberal economist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman was marginally active in Occupy Wall Street, even more pieces fit into place:, Krugman demonstrates (for the first time) the link between capital and Hegel’s dialectic (also Marx’s and Trotsky’s anti-abstract).
Previously, a capital dialectic could only be alluded to largely through Adam Smith (Ayn Rand). Smith also helped with the Scottish clearances on behalf of the Montague family as a tutor like the dialecticians Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Socrates method is also the dialectic, Plato created the fascist/corporate document Republic, and Aristotle persuaded Alexander the great to colonize India/Persia (as his tutor). All disasters!
Nice article. Spewin, A lot of complacent Aussies are too busy sucking back stubbies & talking sport to even comprehend what your saying. Duuuuuh. You are dealing with a breed of people who don’t know the political system they are involved in. They all vote though. It’s only a matter of time until both sides of politics in Australia turn us into a third world country. Good work on your article though champ. I just found this site. I’ll be back for more too. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated mate.
Make sure you subscribe for the email alert or follow me on wordpress.
I’m doing what I can.
Hey bro nice article. I studied this bloke at uni in my German History classes but had almost forgotten about his works and thesis known as the Hegelian Dialectic. I’m not surprised that it’s still widely used today as it was an incredible and insightful piece of literature from a man who knew how the game was played.
Also congrats on your article being posted on Alex Jones’ Infowars site. Well done mate!
Try the Overton window on for size:

Naomi Klein’s shock doctrine is also Hegelian dialectic.
As far as the boat people are concerned Saudi Arabia is wher they should be going they need people and they are of the same religion so they don’t have to change anything, all boat people should be picked up and sent there they will be at home then love andy
Well said. And great to see an Aussie voice on Infowars!
Cheers Tim. One of my personal goals has been achieved.
We’ll get one of yours up there soon enough!
Very good article. I absolutely appreciate this website. Continue the good work!
Hegelian Dialectic seems to parallel the principle of Fabian Psychology used by Hitler and the American Gov’t during pre WII ’30’s era…… an evolved principle and process of mind control applied over a period of time to implant constructed ‘truths’ carefully and timely combined with just the right propaganda of relevant information making it acceptable (believable) over time without the conscience mind realizing it has been gradually manipulated and directed to make decisions (orchestrated by its perpetrators: i.e., gov’t/social engineers) yielding results relevant to its designers’ agenda….. i.e., people have been ‘made’ to vote a certain way because of controlled propaganda influencing their subconscious minds believing what they have ‘decided’ or arrived at as truth….. some call it Advertising! or subliminal messages as seen on TV, movies, video games, of today’s’ culture.
This article is banging around a correct point but fails to bring the true light to citizens of several countries around the world, including Australia. People are generally inept of two things which effect their lives on a daily basis; one is dialectics and the other the doctrine behind dialectics. Where this article brings forth dialectics and their use through argument, if completely fails the full completeness of understanding how devastating dialectics are to a county and a people once allowed to be invoked and unchallenged and it leaves out the doctrine which stands behind dialectics. For what is the need for dialectics if one already possesses the truth? Further it does not divulge that dialectics are a basic algebraic equation which solves for X (unknown side of the equation). Dialectics are the application of mathematics as the format for solution, which ignores many factors when applied to human and political situations.
First lets the establish the doctrine behind dialectics, for its the believers in that doctrine which honed and focused dialectics to the point in which they exist today. The Apostle Paul is perhaps the best reference for one getting a glimpse at the doctrine behind dialectics. He engaged users of dialectics while in Athens; that encounter is documented in Acts ch. 17. Later Paul would define those he engaged as being of one doctrine (philosophia) in Colossians ch. 2. Further he would define that doctrine as a doctrine of men. People of today refer to that doctrine as philosophy and its apostles as philosophers, although the term has become ambiguous (I think purposed) to attempt to include all doctrine under this one doctrine, by referring to all doctrine as philosophy, which is completely false.
Hegel did define or hone the use of dialectics as a form of argument, it would be his students who would take the use of dialectics to a whole new level which has negatively impacted mankind for the last three centuries. Hegel’s students wanted action, they wanted change not just argument about why the use and adaptation of their doctrine. Therefore they invited what is now called Applied Dialectics, in which dialectics are used to force change upon people, groups of people, even nations themselves. This application of dialectics would evoke a strong discourse between the Thesis and AntiThesis who were sad to be locked into an eternal struggle until one side of the dialectic triumphed over the other (usually the AntiThesis). This was the very basis upon which Lenin and Trotsky based their Revolution (Anti-Thesis) against the Czar (Thesis), which was formed upon Marx & Engels dialectic of materialism. Its very important for the readers to understand Applied Dialectics as they form the very basis for conflict where each side is unwilling to compromise. A Marxist named Saul Alinsky would take the use of Applied Dialectics to an all new level by applying his principals to the Antithetical conflict side of the equation in order to bring about nothing but defeat for the Thesis side of the equation. Basically Alinsky turned Applied Dialectics, int0 warfare. Since this method of warfare only supports the AntiThesis side of the equation its right to coin the phrase Antithetical Warfare. Marxist/Leninist have adopted Antithetical Warfare as their methodology for overthrowing all of the nations around the globe. This is what you are observing occurring at all levels of government within many countries and especially America. They are all being overthrown by the Marxist/Leninists via Antithetical Warfare through Applied Dialectics.
