The Fourth Political Theory

beyond left and right but against the center

Every personal exchange between Putin and Trump represents a very important step toward clarifying the new architecture of the world. But, of course, the issue of Ukraine cannot be resolved either in yesterday’s phone conversation or in any upcoming potential meetings between our presidents. One crucial element is missing in this picture — our military superiority.

War in Ukraine can’t be stopped until the power of globalists is totally dismantled in US and in EU. Only then we can reach some positive results. Not before.

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 argues that Donald Trump, disillusioned by the lack of progress in resolving the Ukrainian conflict on his own terms, is preparing for a unilateral withdrawal.

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.

Political philosophy has always been denied full recognition, focusing on analyzing the metaphysical aspects of Neoplatonism. Neoplatonic concepts such as “permanence” (μονή), “emanation” (πρόοδος), “return” (ὲπιστροφή), etc. were treated in historical-philosophical works separately from the sphere of the Political. Thus, the Political was interpreted only as a stage of ascent toward the Good, embedded in the rigid hierarchical model of Neoplatonic philosophical thought, but not as an independent pole of the philosophical model.

The events of the last few weeks have highlighted the axes of new geopolitical alliances and completely rebuilt the geopolitical map of the world.

The Russian authorities are eager to demonstrate compliance with certain rules in the war in Ukraine. The West has believed since the beginning of the SMO, and in fact since 2014, with the annexation of Crimea, that Russia had broken the (beneficial to the West) rules. And even if it did not, it would mean nothing. Therefore, the West is playing without rules against Russia.

I would like to say a few words about the intellectual message that stands out through Dasha, her life, her projects and aspirations, and the depths and heights of her heart as embodied in her diary and expressed in the two main ideas which I will now present.

In the history of 20th century philosophy and political science, everything associated with existentialism is opposed to politics. It is the existentialism of Sartre, Camus, leftist existentialism, which serves as a basis for criticising political structures and political systems, because it is a remote response to Heidegger.

The assassination attempt on Trump was quite predictable. There is no doubt that everything is organized by the globalists with the backing of the part of the Deep State that supports them. The only way to keep the mad grandfather in power is to kill Trump, who otherwise would almost certainly win under the circumstances. The shooter was eliminated just after finishing his shoots by a secret service sniper to make ends meet. Essentially, there was an attempted coup d'état in the US.

Postmodernism is the paradigm towards which the transition from the previous paradigm, the modern, is taking place. The transition is taking place before our eyes, so today's society (at least western society, but also planetary society as far as western influence is concerned) is a society in transition. Not only is Russian society transitive in a broad sense, but also the social matrix that defines the life of humanity to this or that degree is changing its qualitative nature today.

I thank you all from my heart all those who  commemorate the tragic day 20 august 2022 when my daughter Darya was brutally killed by Ukrainian terrorist woman. I thank all my friends and friends of Darya for Your condolences and sharing my deep sorrow. I also thank you for publishing the different books written by Dasha or dedicated to her memory.

North Korea is a beautiful thing. Interestingly, the Korean word 'Juche' (주체) is a deeply philosophical term and means 'subject' or even the Heideggerian Dasein. It has everything else included in it: independence, freedom, civil sovereignty.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 allowed liberalism to emerge as the undisputed, dominant global ideology. Over the past several years, however, the ideology’s future has come increasingly under question. Populist upheavals in the United States and Europe exposed growing discontent with the inability of liberal institutions to cope with foreign policy and economic failures. At the same time, new emerging powers such as Russia, China, and India among others have begun to put forth their own ideological alternatives.

A characteristic feature of Russian philosophy, according to some historians of Russian philosophy, is the ontologism of thought. The position of ontologism in philosophy, unlike the opposite position of gnoseologism, implies the primary consideration not of the process of thinking, but of the object of understanding. Being on the side of the ontological, we seek first and foremost to identify and answer the question: WHAT is, WHAT is the object of our knowledge, WHAT is the focus of our intellectual intuition. Adherents of the ontological model seek, first of all, to find among all that 'flows and changes' a certain fundamental point, a fixed point, like a large stone in a fast-flowing mountain river.

Alain de Benoist examines the contrasting frameworks of liberal internationalism, nation-states, and civilisational states in defining the characteristics of the Earth’s Nomos.

My (alas deceased) friend, great businessman and patriot, Mikhail Yuriev, once asked me a question: why is the ideal a zero foreign trade balance, i.e. the situation where the country sells as much as it buys (i.e. the volume of imports equals the volume of exports)? It turns out, he concluded, that the ideal would be to reduce foreign trade to zero, a very good point on which he built his curious book Fortress Russia. The main idea is: Russia should close itself off from the world and build an autonomous society based only on our traditional Russian values. If you want a perfect foreign trade balance, do it. That is a very productive way of thinking.

The Teori Dergisi, which is published in Türkiye, conducted a comprehensive interview with Russian thinker and political theorist Aleksandr Dugin on Russia-US relations. The interview, which addressed many important issues, especially the relations between Trump and Putin and the Ukraine issue, is still relevant. We are publishing the entire interview conducted by UWI writer and political scientist Onur Sinan Güzaltan in English. The subheadings belong to us.

Donald Trump’s dissolution of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is an event of paramount importance, one whose significance can hardly be overstated. But why did this happen? First and foremost, it is crucial to recognize that Trump, in his second term, is not merely a successful politician — he represents an alternative strategy. This is a strategy of anti-globalism and realism in international relations.

Putin’s appearance in Kursk in military uniform and his meeting with General Gerasimov, the Chief of the General Staff, right on the front line demonstrates Russia’s absolute determination to achieve the goals of the special military operation without any compromises.
