The Fourth Political Theory

beyond left and right but against the center

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.

I originally envisioned this article as a review of five semi-randomly selected books by esteemed Russian Professor Alexander Dugin. However, as my experience with mass surveys has sometimes proven murky, with me feeling like I give short shrift to someone or some part of the analysis, I decided to take a slightly different approach. Accordingly, herein I strongly recommend a set of books by Dugin, about Dugin, or associated with Dugin.

The ancient Jews used the term “am” (עם) to describe themselves, and “goy” (גוי) to describe other nations. Jews = the people, it is one (chosen), and the “languages” of the nations are many. Thus the Jews themselves worshipped one God, and were sure that all other nations (tongues) worshipped many gods.

Winners are not judged. Everyone else is. The only exception is made for winners. For our truth to prevail — in both the grandest sense (civilizational, philosophical, religious) and the smallest (simple facts like shelling, casualties, invasions, attacks on nuclear facilities) — we must, at the very least, win.
