What Is Synthesis?

The controversial Hegelian idea is smarter and more powerful than you think.

I am here to fix your brain.

Immediately it should be addressed that I am not positing a revamp of the misconstruing of the Hegelian Dialectic as thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Synthesis refers to the universal properties in two separate items being identical to each other, and thus forming a synthesis of force.

Whether you are a socialist or a capitalist, a Republican or a Democrat, a communist or a neoreactionary, if you can’t notice universal syntheses; that is to say, where you are identical materially with someone and where you are working together in process, then you can’t begin to see difference, not really.

Critical theory constantly elevates only the negative or difference between one’s self and their ideological enemy, this is a terrible mistake.

Calls for unity from sycophantic politicians seem really stupid, but they clearly have power in the world, or the ruling class of the largest country wouldn’t do it. The power is not simply rhetorical for people less intelligent than you, dear reader, but rather a spell which rises to the surface united forces and shoves difference into the negative, into the unseen void, where it none the less still has power.

Whether it is ideological unity of putting the hurt on Trump between anarchists and Nancy Pelosi, or the unity of owning the libs between Jordan Peterson and the Fascist right, synthetic force, which is to say identical force, is something which is not really understood. People have a tough time identifying that there is a real, sticky quality to the sameness of ideas, and it makes bedfellows which people either say are totally identical or are totally different. This is the wrong way to look at things. They have a unity in force, making alliances between official enemies to do different things, to Actualize power in the world, and this is happening constantly.

It needs to be charted and understood.
