Caesar has a vulgarized dilettantish understanding of Hegel but overall his political goals are correct and he is the only way that humanity can meaningfully rebuild in the wasteland and transcend the post-apocalyptic age. He is closer to a mix of Spengler, Vico, Herder, and Heidegger than he is to Hegel, since he basically believes that a Volk has to be founded in a primordial and integral Urkultur in order for it to absorb different influences, like the influences of the dead old world with its random survivals of habits and technology. The danger of these random survivals is that they will merely be agglomerated into the shell of pseudo-culture, they will be "collected" and brought into proximity for convenience's sake, to serve the petty needs of individuals, but not integrated into a whole that is capable of mastering them and subordinating them. The random leftovers of the old world will live a kind of zombie existence, and the atomized individuals of the wasteland, just trying to maximize pleasure and minimize danger and difficulty, will be its body. But the relationship should be the other way around: a culture that fundamentally doesn't NEED the old world survivals, because it has its own primordial and integral identity and "flow" of life regardless of whether it finds a water chip or lives in buildings instead of tents, should be capable of mindfully taking a stance on every remnant of the old world that it finds and absorbs into itself.
