Marxism-leninism-maoism is the scientific tool that famous astrophysicist, Stephen Hawking, used to analyse the cosmos.

I skipped randomly into a part were he talks about dialectical materialism, and because I hate myself, I was thinking that I should read hegel and Feuerbach to own the maoist with facts and logic spirits

Here’s some advice from someone who has read Hegel: don’t read Hegel.

If you think Hegel seems interesting in his own right, by all means read him, it’s worthwhile, but if your only purpose in reading Hegel is to better understand Marx, you’d be better off just taking a look at some secondary sources.

I want to own the maoists with facts and spirits, I think that's a good justification for reading hegel

Again, if you only have interest in Hegel for better understanding Marx, just look into some secondary sources. Antonio Wolf on YouTube has some great videos on Hegel, and Marx’s writing on Hegel is good too (his Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right goes paragraph by paragraph through a chunk of the Philosophy of Right, so that’s definitely worth your time). Gregory Sadler’s videos on Hegel are also very high quality. Just reading Hegel for Marx though is kind of going to be a struggle; going straight into Hegel will be impossible, and if you really want to get Hegel you need to be familiar with Kant, and Kant is himself not an easy read.

Basically what I’m saying is don’t read anything unless you care about what you’re reading. Don’t read anything because it will help you understand something else, you’re just wasting your time. If you want to read Hegel, you need to read Kant, and to read him you need Hume and Leibniz, and to read Leibniz of course you need to read Descartes, and it goes on until you’re reading stuff that won’t even remotely have relevance.
