While the dynamic they're describing -- one in which crises are manufactured in order to push solutions which reorganize social structures under their hegemony -- is an astute observation, the characterization of it as an application of Hegel's dialectical methodology is incorrect. Hegel did not invent the principle of dialectics afterall, that is credited to Zeno of Elea, the 5th century BC Greek philosopher and founder of the Eleatic School, by Aristotle. Hegel's contributions to the philosophy of dialectics would not be formulated until nearly 2 millennia later. While they were certainly poignant and have profound resonance on the modern study of dialectics, the system Hegel described does not meet the aforementioned description. Instead, that social engineering process of ascribing thesis > antithesis > synthesis as problem > reaction > solution is more accurately characterized as an example of the dialectic materialism of Karl Marx, which theorized that changing social conditions would facilitate a re-organization of society toward whatever goal those in power sought.
