It’s a jigsaw puzzle
Someone at our office gave that puzzle as a gift at our office Christmas party last year. It's actually much bigger.

Easy, just remove the reference to "the Hegelian Dialectic," and leave the remainder. Point made, problem solved!

I;m seeing more that colleges are using Hegel to synthesize communism from Marx and Smith.
Hegel was generally thinking of logic, and was using the dialectic process to work toward what I will call "truths" by reconciling the thesis and antithesis.
On the other hand, I would proffer that colleges and the professors that push a communist perspective do so as Marx and Engels did. They have an endpoint in mind, and use the process to get where they want to be.

It's not that they didn't get it detailed, they got it wrong.

You may have just explained how colleges produce communists. They take a truth and a falsehood (thesis and anti-thesis) and create a new falsehood (synthesis).
I can easily postulate the synthesis of a truth and a falsehood must be a falsehood.
That would be the Marx and Engels approach, not Hegel.

That is not the Hegelian Dialectic as I learned it way back when in college philosophy class. I mean, maybe if you squint one eye and close the other, and cant your head to the side, it might kind of, sort of, almost resemble the Hegelian Dialectic, but it is a stretch.
At its very simplest, there are premises. One is a "thesis," or positive statement, and an "antithesis," or a negative statement contradicting the first. Unlike Plato and others, who would discard both, Hegel asserted a third option, "synthesis," which reconciles the two premises creating a new "higher truth." If we take the synthesis as the new thesis, this can go on ad infinitum. Hegel applied the dialectic process to both logic and things such as understanding the consciousness. This brief explanation doesn't really do the process justice, but it gets the point across.
It is perhaps interesting to note that Marx and Engels were critical of Hegel and his philosophy, but essentially used it to say that in the contest between capitalism and socialism (thesis & antithesis) the result would be communism, hence ending the need for further dialectic. Again, they were more in depth, but the above is probably closer to their thoughts than Hegel's.

For context, the full quote is "Not wishing to be left behind by Hank Azaria, I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people We're sorry for any distress we may have caused." This after Azaria apologized to "every single Indian person" for voicing Abu on The Simpsons. Very much tongue in cheek.
