As for Hegel, his picture seemed mighty popular in the Soviet May day
parades, and we all know how that social experiment turned out!

In response to the Objectivist claim that Hegal was a communist, I'd like to
simply present the historical note that Karl Marx was 13 years old when
Hegal died in 1831. You may argue that Hegal was a communist, but such an
argument would have much the
same character as an argument in support of the claim that Nietzsche was a
Nazi or that Spinoza was a New Ager.

Hegel was a favorite of the communists. He provided the poisoned water from
which they choose to drink.
KMO, Sep 12:
Darwin was a favorite of eugenicists, laize faire capitalists, and
CoVers. That doesn't mean that Darwin was affiliated with or
sympathetic to any of those causes.
