I read Hegel ages ago, but remember enough to say he didn’t suck -g. To the contrary, his books contain a lot of wisdom - and good philosophy. Marx, under the guise of borrowing Hegel’s dialectical logic, basically re-wrote Hegel’s system using different terms. He substituted Hegel’s tension between controversies - which would propel the development of World Spirit. Instead, Marx spoke of conflict and tensions between owners of the means of production - capitalists - and the workers. Those tensions were proclaimed to be the forces that propelled history.

Our woke compadres like the CRT theory, which asserts that Race is the central conflict in society. It moves us towards a more equitable future, or something like that.

In short, it’s not Hegel’s fault that others used his work for purposes that would have never occurred to him. Poor man must have twisted in his grave plenty since he died of cholera, I believe in 1830.
