A stab at a legit ELI5: ‘Hegel’s “dialectic” is a way of describing what it means to think about or do anything at all. It can be hard to understand, because its such a big idea. Sometimes its good to tackle big ideas like that with an example. Here’s how it works. Let’s imagine you have a friend. You want to be the best friend you can. You are totally, 10,000% into being their friend. So you do all the stuff you think a friend should do. You say hi to them whenever you see them, you give them big hugs, you give them presents, you tell them how nice they are. And you do this all the time. You even hog your friend, and don’t want them to play with other people! You pour yourself into it, completely [Entäußerrung] Eventually your friend doesn’t want to be around you because they feel like you don’t give them any room to be themselves. You tried hard to be the best friend you could be, but you ended up being the opposite of a good friend. You did the best you could, and you ended up with the opposite of what you wanted. What would you do? Would you decide to start picking on your friend and calling them names? No that would be silly. You wouldn’t say “everything I ever thought about being a good friend was TOTALLY wrong.” You would see that what you were doing was partially right. But it was just one little piece of the “Big Picture” of what being a good friend is all about—which includes lots of other stuff like respecting your friend’s space, and letting them be themselves. So now, you have a bigger, better understanding of what it means to be a good friend. [Aufhebung] Hegel thinks everything we can do and everything we can think is like this. There’s no getting around it. And it can be painful! [Verzweiflung, Zerissenheit, Opfer] But that is how we learn who and what wr are and can be—in fact it is how people have always learned, all throughout history (even when they didn’t quite realize it!) [The cunning of reason]’ [Edit: a couple words]

The simplest way I can summarize it: in order for change to take place something old must give way. The old and the new aren't two separate moments in opposition but rather one whole movement in constant unending development. There is a thing, that thing slowly decays, something new emerges. The decay (negation) of the first thing was a necessary step (literally the 'condition of possibility') for the new thing. From the second paragraph of the preface to the phenomenology: "The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant’s existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. These stages are not merely differentiated; they supplant one another as being incompatible with one another. But the ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes them at the same time moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other; and this equal necessity of all moments constitutes alone and thereby the life of the whole."

Hegel’s Dialectics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
June 3, 2016 - The back-and-forth debate between opposing sides produces a kind of linear progression or evolution in philosophical views or positions: as the dialogues go along, Socrates’ interlocutors change or refine their views in response to Socrates’ challenges and come to adopt more sophisticated views. The back-and-forth dialectic between Socrates and his interlocutors thus becomes Plato’s way of arguing against the earlier, less sophisticated views or positions and for the more sophisticated ones later.

This thesis-antithesis-synthesis ... Kant’s dialectic principle. This theory does not explain why every thesis requires an anti-thesis. Although Hegel employed a triadic procedure similar to this model, but he used the terms abstract-negative-concrete. As per Hegel, in any initial thesis, there is too much abstraction. According to him, every thesis must go through a phase of negation that will eventually lead to the absolute, the truth or the concrete. This is popularly termed as Hegelian ...

June 3, 2016 - In the Phenomenology of Spirit, which presents Hegel’s epistemology or philosophy of knowledge, the “opposing sides” are different definitions of consciousness and of the object that consciousness is aware of or claims to know. As in Plato’s dialogues, a contradictory process between “opposing sides” in Hegel’s dialectics leads to a linear evolution or development from less sophisticated definitions or views to more sophisticated ones later.
