Why was Soviet Communism a disaster? It was a dictatorial, totalitarian system where anyone who wanted to get on had to become a member of the Communist Party. Because of communist ideology which provided no incentives whatever for ordinary people to become wealthy through their own hard work, talent and ideas, innovation died. Enormous state monopolies controlled every aspect of the economy. There was no competition hence every monopoly became complacent, ossified and inefficient. Communism, supposedly based on Marxist dialectics, completely forgot that the dialectic must be applied to all aspects of society. Competition and contradiction is the essence of the dialectic. No competition or contradiction was allowed in the Soviet Union, hence the whole system was rotten and dialectically dead. Its failure was dialectically guaranteed. The trouble with Marxists, and even Marx himself, was that they didn’t truly understand the Hegelian dialectic.

>Claiming to understand Hegel and saying he was in the Illuminati
Well now that's one interdasting take anon, I have never met ANYONE who claims to understand Hegel fully. I'm sure you must be a true man of letters with full academic accreditation, and not just some neckbeard LARPER or worse someone with a superiority complex greater than even my own.

I’m not an expert on Hegel anon and Hegelian philosophy is not the topic of this thread and can’t be condensed in a few posts. I suggest you study it yourself. 
Lenin said of the dialectic, “A development that repeats, as it were, stages that have already been passed, but repeats them in a different way, on a higher basis (“the negation of the negation”), a development, so to speak, that proceeds in spirals, not in a straight line; a development by leaps, catastrophes, and revolutions; ‘breaks in continuity’; the transformation of quantity into quality; inner impulses towards development, imparted by the contradiction and conflict of the various forces and tendencies acting on a given body, or within a given phenomenon, or within a given society; the interdependence and the closest and indissoluble connection between all aspects of any phenomenon (history constantly revealing ever new aspects), a connection that provides a uniform, and universal process of motion, one that follows definite laws – these are some of the features of dialectics as a doctrine of development that is richer than the conventional one.”

Dialectical logic is based on the synthesis of opposites and the highlighting, emphasizing and resolution of contradictions. Dialectical thinking is all about synthesis, about unifying opposites. Everything contains a fundamental inner, implicit contradiction that will lead to the contradiction eventually being explicitly expressed. The dialectic is the core dynamic process of reality. It is intrinsic to existence. If you have energy and the dialectic you have the universe. From energy and the dialectic comes EVERYTHING. The dialectic is how potential is turned into actualization, how primordial slime can eventually evolve to become God. Without the dialectic without a purposeful process of evolution – there would be nothing of significance in the universe.

Yeah that sounds stupid. There's no direct opposites in the real world, not even ideologically. It's not even correct to say that men are the opposite of women, they're just two sexes. They aren't oppositional, they're just mutually exclusive. Fire is not water, but fire is also not the opposite of water. It's just oxygen that's been heated to the point of becoming a psuedo-plasma. Understand why Hegel was stupid and that left/right thinking is braindead comic book bullshit?
