Once relegated to the mere corners of some fringe political currents in Russia that nobody took seriously, we have had the misfortune of being subjected to Dugin in the English-speaking web thanks to the tireless efforts of the patsoc crowd, specifically the Infrared folks, who made it their mission to put communism and the revolution on hold to promote the word of Dugin.

With that in mind, and because I see some people uncritically accepting Dugin as this great figure to look up to (they never actually call him a Marxist) in the name of contrarianism, I figured I was gonna have to actually read Dugin. When the Internet was created and touted as a way to bring people closer together, I’m not sure this is what they had in mind.

Regardless, I have downloaded a PDF of Dugin’s foundational book, The Fourth Political Theory, and I can now look forward to a very good time for the foreseeable future.

Oh no what’s this

Oh shit shit shit

Oh fuck you at this point you’re just trolling

    Opposing “liberalism” to other ideologies is a very vulgar way of looking at the world. This is patently not Marxist theory; a Marxist would have opposed classes, not ideologies. The fight is not between liberalism and socialism, it is between the ruling class and the emergent exploited class. This tells us already that Dugin is a major idealist, the biggest one, a loser in the philosophies if you will, a complete nincompoop, a dummy and he takes the L.

    This was apparent before this quote of course (after all the Fourth theory is “neither capitalism, communism or fascism”), but Dugin opposes fascism to capitalism, when we know beyond a doubt that fascism is but the other side of the coin of capitalism.

    Also quoting a far right essayist in the opening paragraph 🤨 (really I’m just using far-right cause I’ve been saying fascist too much).

        Lock a die hard socialist, fascist, and monarchist in a room.

        And find out what would happen. Give it enough time, one of these fuckers would be dead.

        Posadism sounds more sane to me.
