The Fourth Political Theory

beyond left and right but against the center

Alexander Dugin discusses the illegitimate regime in Ukraine, the crumbling globalist order, and the rise of a new ideological confrontation between the Trumpist West and the traditionalist multipolar world.

Alexander Dugin opposes liberal racism and globalist homogenization, emphasizing the richness of collective ethnic and cultural identities.

Rejecting 20th-century totalitarian frameworks, Alexander Dugin calls for ideological clarity and fair debate in a multipolar world led by genuine freedom of speech.

Alexander Dugin reflects on the passing of Jean-Marie Le Pen, praising the steadfast right-wing leader’s lifelong resistance against liberal globalism.

The trumpism in IR is reorganisation of Western hegemony on the basis of right liberalism and Western identity.

Alexander Dugin’s text contrasts two opposing forces within the West: the globalist "Monster-West," represented by liberal elites and their network of influence, and the "MAGA-West".

Alexander Dugin integrates Freudian, Jungian, and Guattarian frameworks to analyze civilizations as dynamic systems shaped by unconscious structures, material flows, and rationalized universes, offering a critique of Western modernity and envisioning multipolarity as a reterritorialized civilizational order.

Firstly, I believe in our people, I believe in our State, I believe in Russian history. This war is not an accident. Maybe it is the most important and the most sacred war of our history, which we are now waging with the West on the territory of Ukraine

What the life after woke looks like? If we want to overcome woke, we need to identify its roots and extract them. The roots are nominalism, hyper-individualism and liberalism as ideology...

Alexander Dugin argues that the nation’s sovereign heart calls for crushing liberalism while unleashing the creative and patriotic spirit of the Russian people to affirm their imperial destiny.

The Strauss-Howe theory is particularly relevant when addressing the dynamic between sociality (holism) and individualism. This is akin to the famous L. Dumont's dilemma where sociality represents the High, the beginning, and spring, while individualism signifies the Crisis, the end, and winter, with the individual portrayed as Krampus.

Richard Malcolm Weaver, Jr. was an American scholar known for his contributions to conservative thought. Here are some key ideas associated with him..

A profound shift in the global perception of Israel — and perhaps of the Jewish people as a whole — is underway. After the catastrophe European Jews endured under Hitler during World War Two, they evoked widespread pity, compassion, and sincere sympathy on a global scale. This moral capital facilitated the establishment of the State of Israel. The Holocaust, or Shoah — signifying the horrors and persecutions suffered by Jews — served as the foundation for the universal consensus: after such suffering, the Jewish people unquestionably deserved their own state. This sacred status of the Holocaust became a cornerstone of Jewish identity and moral capital.

In this text, Alexander Dugin explores the concept of horror, drawing from Heidegger's distinction between fear (external and explained) and horror (internal and undefined).

How reconcile multipolarity with trumpism? It is not clear yet. Among trumpists there are those who can agree with that and those who are against. Neocons don’t take part in trumpism directly (being globalists) but their influence is still present.

There are situations where the predictions and plans made beforehand realise in the field of facts. Then you can follow them comparing and reality check is backed by the correlation with forecast: this is correct, that is wrong, that is deviation.

Alexander Dugin argues that the unfolding chaos of 2025 lies in the triadic uncertainty of a dying unipolarity, the theoretical opacity of multipolarity, and the unpredictable conservatism of Trumpism, all converging to demand a new ontology of global order.

How Syria became the weakest link in a broader plan to undermine Russia's influence? How the globalists' intricate maneuvers to reshape the Middle East, and What's the implications for a multipolar world? Alexander Dugin, speculated as “the Brain of Putin” explores the devastating consequences of the conflict.

What is post-liberalism? There is conventional left version: Wallerstein, Trotskyism, Negri-Hardt global anarchism. Cultural Marxism and hyperglobalization. It is obvious that J.D.Vance, Thiel, Musk and other trump-futurists mean something quite different when they use the term.
So post-liberal right. What does it mean? Easiest way to decipher the notion is to reduce it to previous - more conservative, less progressist, pre-woke - stage of the same liberalism. I guess the majority of Trump's voters instinctively interpret that like this.

In August 2022, a car bomb in Moscow claimed the life of Daria Dugina, a rising voice in political philosophy whose insights were cut tragically short at age 29. Her posthumously published work A Theory of Europe stands as both her intellectual testament and a rare window into the French Nouvelle Droite (New Right) movement. While mainstream coverage often reduces this school of thought to simplistic labels, Dugina’s intimate knowledge of its key thinkers reveals a fascinating philosophical current that challenges our fundamental assumptions about European identity and civilization.

Alexander Dugin argues that the collapse of the unipolar world signals the beginning of a grand metamorphosis, as the fading light of Western liberalism gives way to the awakening of ancient traditions, deep civilizational identities, and the promise of a vibrant, multipolar era full of boundless possibilities.
