Create a problem in order to institute a solution.
The Hegelian dialectic is the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. If we do not understand how the Hegelian dialectic shapes our perceptions of the world, then we do not know how we are helping to implement the vision. When we remain locked into dialectical thinking, we cannot see out of the box.
Hegel's dialectic is the tool which manipulates us into a frenzied circular pattern of thought and action. Every time we fight for or defend against an ideology we are playing a necessary role in Marx and Engels' grand design to advance humanity into a dictatorship of the proletariat. The synthetic Hegelian solution to all these conflicts can't be introduced unless we all take a side that will advance the agenda. The Marxist's global agenda is moving along at breakneck speed. The only way to completely stop the privacy invasions, expanding domestic police powers, land grabs, insane wars against inanimate objects (and transient verbs), covert actions, and outright assaults on individual liberty, is to step outside the dialectic. This releases us from the limitations of controlled and guided thought.

I wonder if this is how they got all this gold. By way of swindle.

I don't understand the importance of gold... Isn't there a bunch of other rocks that are just as rare?
I get that it doesn't wear down as easily and its pretty but is there something I'm missing?

... and could possibly explain why the current Queen of England is actually older than the Pyramids!
...monoatomic gold was originally taken by the egyptians or the sumerians in the form of some sort of "manna" called "MFKZT", if you can believe that, as a triangular bread-like substance that often appears depicted in the hands of pharoahs and high priests (on tomb walls). It was seen as "Elixir of Life" and "food for the afterworld" and was certainly heralded as having supernatural powers.
Since that point in history, it seems to have been a minastay of alchemists to try and achieve this form of "white powdered gold" that was certainly passed down through ancient Chaldean (ancient magicians of Babylon) or Cabbalistic (Jewish mystical teachings of the Cabbalah) traditions and one of the major goals of Alchemy was "The preparation of aurum potabile, liquid gold, a sovereign remedy, because gold being itself perfect could produce peffection in the human frame." -quoted from The History of Chemistry as quoted by Manly P. Hall in his The Secret Teachings of All Ages, p. CLV. Gold . That's right, according to a bearded man working by candle-light at some point in the past, monatomic gold is a panacea!
Apparently, recently a man called David Hudsonhas patented and began selling what he has claimed to be modern "white gold" or monoatomic gold under the name Orum
