You can rite an essay if you feel that you can't compress Hegel into a basic outline.

I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to bribery or intimidation.

Re: Hegel.
The Plato stanford entry on Hegel might be a good place to start. His political philosophy is outlined in the section on 'Philosophy of Right' , but Hegel was a pathological systemiser so it's unlikely to make sense unless you take it as being a part of his system as a whole (and probably not even then given how full of shit he was).

Re: Hegel.
Oh yeah, and theres a fair amount about Hegel on marxists.org, although I assume a lot of it is going to be coloured by Marxist interpretations.

Re: Hegel.
To be completely honest, I doubt you're going to learn much about Hegel by reading the internet - you're going to have to get a book. There are some philosophers who can be summarized in relatively short pieces and Hegel certainly isnt one of them. Peter Singer wrote a brief, easy-to-understand intro to Hegel as part of the "Very Short Introduction.../Past Masters" series which I thought was ok, although I'm unsure what kind of reputation it has amongst actual Hegelians.
edit: As far as I can remember, it focused fairly heavily on his politics too.

I checked out "Introducing... Hegel" from that Introducing... series and it was almost entirely about his philosophy of mind / unfolding of spirit mumbo jumbo, with maybe a page on politics.

Re: Hegel.
I'm not expert, however I was taught this: (in about 2 minutes)
Hegel said history is as follows: thesis -> anti-thesis -> synthesis -> new-thesis -> anti-thesis. Spirit/history working itself out.
Marx was a Hegelian and applied this to Communism. Feudalism -> Capitalism -> Socialism etc etc etc. And the struggle described in Hegel's work could be applied to class conflict. And but he stated, unlike Hegel, there would be an end-point, and Communism fitted the bill.
The person who taught me this was no philosophy lecturer, I am no philosophy student. But basically Hegel talked quite a bit about History and spirit working itself out.
