Ok guys I have read one page of Hegel and I already want to rip my eyes out of their sockets. How can I read Hegel in a way that is easier? Is there a method I can apply while reading? I refuse to die without understanding this fucker.

Did you read any preeliminary work about him? People explaining any philosopher (specially Hegel and Kant, who wrote super cryptically) are good ways to start.
Kant isn’t cryptic thought, he is hard to understand because he built way too many specific terms. If one is interested in Kant they can learn the terminology and then the texts are pretty articulated.
I didn’t try Hegel but I heard it was way more complicated because you can’t just do that, this one is actually cryptic because even with the knowledge of the vocabulary it’s never easy to understand
Not specifically about him, but I’ve read some works on dialectical and historical materialism. Are there any preliminary works about him you could recommend?
I am sure I have a couple books on my to read list, I will try to find them and link them, but I am sure it will take me at least two weeks. I know reading Spinoza also helps understanding Hegel, but that is an issue with philosophy where you basically need to go back tot he greeks to fully understand it. Spinoza is way easier and fun, though, I really liked him.
