I’m well aware lol. Just started reading Grundrisse and the forward by Martin Nicolaus makes this exact point (using mainly citations from Lenin’s Philosophical Notebooks). The Hegalian method relies heavily on language and terms that might seem superfluous on first glance but actually hold a lot of meaning. Like the concept of “suspension” which if read uncritically is meaningless, but in the context of the dialectic, is super powerful because of it’s double meaning of both ceasing movement and also maintaining the process of movement.
All meaning comes from some form of contradiction and if you only ever see one side of the contradiction, you haven’t really seen anything.
Lol, I was just using that as an example because that happens to be what I’m literally reading right now. The only reason this particular book is written that way is because it was essentially his notes, it was never published.
He basically took these and wrote Capital with them, even that’s a bit rough, but it’s also not full of terms that are used as placeholders for contradictions.
