Hegel for the rioting US youth, their efforts are doomed to perish in self-destructive fury,
the point of Hegel’s deservedly famous analysis
of the revolutionaryTerror in
Phenomenology
is not the rather obvious insight into how the revolutionary
project involved the unilateral direct assertion of abstract Universal
Reason, and was, as such, doomed to perish in self-destructive fury, since it was
unable to organize the transposition of its revolutionary energy into a
concrete, stable society with social order.
