The Fourth Political Theory

beyond left and right but against the center

The scale of this action – which the Democrats, having lost the election, apparently prepared for many months – indicates that it may mark the beginning of a civil war. Almost as if following the script of the film Civil War (2024). American society is already prepared for such an outcome, especially after watching that film, where the president was essentially Trump.

The latest round of negotiations in Istanbul, in my view, was extremely important from a symbolic perspective. A serious struggle is currently underway over Trump's position on the war in Ukraine and, by extension, over the position of the United States. Trump himself, subjectively, would like to end this war, but, objectively, he cannot do so. Any conditions under which he believes the conflict could be halted are, first and foremost, unacceptable to us—although they are also unacceptable to the Ukrainians. Therefore, any proposal for a truce will sooner or later prove untenable.

There will come moment to choose: either USA prosperity, security, greatness, freedom or liberal democracy, globalism, Deep State...

The influence of neocons is much weaker now, but it still exists, and they’re desperately pushing Trump toward war with Russia, support for Zelenskyy’s terrorists, and new sanctions. Neocons are the globalists’ tool for partially controlling Trump.

Alexander Dugin sees George Simion’s first-round win in Romania’s presidential election as another spark in Europe’s conservative surge and a sign of the nation’s Orthodox revival.

Tariff war is not an episode of economic relations; it is a new world emerging. Trump wants to create the conditions inside the U.S. to bring back distributed economic assets—especially industrial ones—from abroad.  The goal is to restore economic sovereignty and generate momentum for inner development.

Alexander Dugin interprets Trump’s outburst as the reflex of a man trapped between globalist hawks and his own instincts, glimpsing – yet resisting – Russia’s sacred imperative to liberate all of Ukraine.

When it became clear that the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) could not fulfill the task of integration, the Eurasian Union was created. But it was founded solely on economic ideas. And since integration between countries cannot be achieved on economic grounds alone, this idea stalled once again. Only in the creation of the Russia-Belarus Union State3 have certain successes been achieved.

Alexander Dugin warns that only the creation of a Union State between Russia and Iran — modeled on the Russia-Belarus alliance — can serve as a salvational measure to prevent an unwinnable U.S.-Iran war fueled by neocon and pro-Israel interests.

The attacks on the Near Caves of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra clearly show that the satanic regime entrenched in Kiev is living out its final days. This is its agony. That is why they seek to desecrate as many sacred sites as possible, to inflict as much evil as they can upon the people, the culture, the country. And for that reason, what has happened is not at all surprising.

Alexander Dugin offers a sweeping analysis of Africa’s historical trajectory — not merely as a geopolitical space but as a betrayed civilization — framing Pan-Africanism as a metaphysical and imperial project within the rising multipolar order. He traces the stages of Pan-Africanism’s development, denounces the African states’ postcolonial mimicry of Western forms, and affirms Africa’s unique plurality of Logoi and its destined rupture with colonial time through a return to sacred identity, deep decolonization, and alliance with Eurasia.

Liberalism and communism are both products of the anti-Platonic tradition. To restore civilization, we must return to the metaphysical foundations of Plato and Aristotle.

Alexander Dugin declares the Putin–Trump dialogue a civilizational turning point, heralding the dawn of a new great power order rising from the ruins of liberal unipolarity, with Putin embodying sovereign steadfastness, Trump breaking from the globalist yoke, and Zelensky flailing as the sacrificial puppet of a dying Atlanticist regime.

Alexander Dugin asserts that Trump’s geopolitical vision abandons liberal globalism in favor of a multipolar “Order of Great Powers,” where true sovereignty belongs only to self-sufficient civilization states, each consolidating its own great space, heralding the fragmentation of the old world order and the inexorable rise of regional hegemons.

With globalists in decline and multipolarity on the rise, Japan has a rare chance to reclaim its independence.

Donald Trump’s return to power is not merely a political event. It is a geopolitical shift of historic proportions. In The Trump Revolution, Alexander Dugin dissects the rise of Trumpism 2.0 and its role in dismantling the liberal-globalist order, replacing it with a new reality: the Order of Great Powers. This is not the cooperative multipolarity envisioned by Russia and China but a harsher, pragmatic world in which only strong and truly sovereign civilizations can assert themselves.

G. Greenwald: Professor, thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me. It's great to see you. I want to start with the change in what seems like the climate and certainly in Washington, in the United States, where there's a great deal of expectation that with a new president, one who specifically is vowing that he wants to see an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine and there's a lot of expectation that that is going to happen. I think the same is true in Western European capitals, for better or for worse. Some people are happy, some people are not. What is the expectation here in Moscow in terms of that likelihood? 

The true enemy isn’t the West as a whole, but the liberal-globalist elite. With U.S. populists rising, the real war now centers on Europe.

It is still too early to draw far-reaching conclusions about what happened yesterday in the Oval Office of the White House. But it is already obvious that this was an event of grand scale. We will assess its consequences a bit later, but Trump has effectively already demonstrated that the war Biden started is not only meaningless to him but, most likely, a crime.

Alexander Dugin advocates a multipolar world order that respects the unique traditions of different civilisations, rather than relying on the dominance of a global hegemon.
