How 'bout that Hegel...

For the Philosophy of History term paper, I've chosen to write on Francis Fukuyama's The End of History and the Last Man. In it, Fukuyama argues that with the universal recognition of liberal democracy as the sole legitimate ideology/government, the dialectical process of History has come to an end. Fukuyama is greatly influenced by Hegel, and yet his thesis is un-Hegelian. In the first place, the dialectical process cannot halt itself. And secondly, it implies that we can understand History as it happens.

These points of criticism are to be the main part of my essay, but I'm having troubles with Hegel. I think I have a love/hate relationship with ol' G. W. F.: I admire the grand thoughts and ideas found in his works, but I hate reading them. Hegel's writings are like cement- foundational, but really hard to get through.

I've been trying to prove, from reading Hegel, that the dialectic cannot end and that "history happens behind our backs". I'm looking for the key quote that'll provide the final proof that I'm right and Fukuyama's wrong. I'm getting a head-ache. And confused...
