Yes. It took me a long time to get the concept and I still may be off. If anyone's interested: Think of the 2004 presidential election, pitting John Kerry against George W. Bush. Both were from monied, connected, north-eastern families, both attended Yale and were in the exclusive Skull & Bones. It was a classic Hegelian setup where the voters' choice was not a choice at all since both candidates would have followed the dictates of their overlords. We were led to believe that there was a huge difference between the two but there was none—the classic Hegelian trick.
