The OWC edition of Hegel’s GPR has an intro essay that opens with a salvo against Popper. Hegel’s patron was a liberal reformist of German empire and Hegel’s writings are more a reflection than an original justification of the logic of the liberal state so Popper’s dismissal of Hegel as illiberal is, typical of Popper, an act of serious academic mauvaise foi. Positivist humanism is in essence the secular of Geist so a disavowal of Hegel here really is a cowardly act of hiding ones aristocratic position only complicated by a further crassness of positioning Hegel as equal to Schmitt when Hegel goes at length to criticise the despotism of the sovereign exception.

It's also significant that Hegel articulates the state as a field of ethical life constituted of semi-autonomous but similarly derived (through which the abstract spirit becomes its ultimate expression as the Ideal) institutions which makes it hard to dismiss the validity of Althusser's ISA critique.
Funnily enough, the intro essayist goes on to characterise Marx’s contribution as redundant because the link to the material is present in Hegel while Marx’s actual development was to prioritise the material over the idealism of Hegel’s Geist realising itself as une Idée concrète
