After glancing at Georges site, it seems to me to be a play for recognition. Notice how every page of the site is prefaced by his name. Ironically, it seems to me, it is this type of self-promotion which drives dialectics. The search for contradiction being in essence a search for self-righteousness. Hegel recognized this which is he postulated an end to dialectics when everyone is free from the struggle for power.. ie equal in spirit. Thus it can be said that it is democracy which leads to the NMT, not the other way around. Note Marx also implies the same, as does Adam Smith. Both theories pointing to the end of self-doubt through a recognotion of mutual self-respect. The difference between the two being one of means rather than ends.

Respectfully,
JB
