History develops through a scheme called dialectics. At the center of this process are a geist and ideas (embodied in a state), and the formation of new syntheses (sublimation). In more concrete example is the development of liberty, culminating in his own contemporary state (Lutheran) Prussia, which was the pinnacle of this process.

It's funny how commies love Hegel and dialectics when the man thought a hyper-militaristic German absolute monarchy was the peak of human achievement and development

Okay, so what is dialectics? It seems like a buzzword, but what I can infer is that dialectics, individually, are rhetorical works that contribute to a much longer discussion over the length of time, a.k.a history.

How I know you haven't read Hegel.

I think only someone who had at least read a little Hegel would even be able to mistake sublate for sublimate. If you were faking you would just get it right...
