The Fourth Political Theory

beyond left and right but against the center

The below transcript is from Prof. Alexander Dugin’s latest episode of the Radio Sputnik Escalation Show.

I congratulate everyone on Victory Day! They were victorious. Then we lived by that Victory for quite a long time. Later, its fruits were stolen from us. They even tried to steal the great holiday itself. That failed.

We are convinced that this world exists—the one in which we live with bodies and feelings. At times we allow that God exists as well, yet we relate Him to our world: we and He. We ask Him to help us within this, our world, or in some other way.

King Charles III of England, speaking before Congress, called for the preservation of NATO, support for the regime in Ukraine, and the joint launching of a war against Russia. Congress applauded. Above all the Democrats, though a significant number of Republicans as well.

Today was a very important day for Mali. This country, under the leadership of President General Assimi Goïta, is the most important outpost of the multipolar world in West Africa — and in Africa as a whole — together with the other members of the Alliance of Sahel States: Burkina Faso under the heroic Ibrahim Traoré and Niger under General Abdourahamane Tchiani.

Let’s remind our listeners what Palantir is. It is one of the key startups created by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp in Silicon Valley. They are developing a system for global surveillance of everything happening on the planet: in space, in the civil society of Western countries, and far beyond their borders. All these databases converge into unified hubs, into centers which, despite their formal “private” status, are deeply integrated into the system of intelligence agencies and political decision-making.

I have always approached Carl Schmitt with enormous interest and attention. I translated his works. Certain things—for example, his treatment of Hobbes’s Leviathan, his interpretation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, or his critique of Political Romanticism—provoked some resistance in me. Yet overall, I considered, and still consider, the majority of his ideas and concepts to be highly relevant.

Palantir Manifesto is much more important than Trump. Trump is insignificant pawn on the serious chess board. His role is total destruction. The preparations stage. Palantir is much more serious. It is the plan to safeguard the declining dominance of the West by radical means.

The country has been at war for a fifth year, and the question of revising the “elites”—many of which were formed during the darkest times of the 1990s, according to the principle of “corruption, banditry, and baseness”—has long since come to a head. A fair question arises: what should Russia’s ruling elite be like?

Conversation with Alexander Dugin on the Sputnik TV program Escalation.

Donald - Melania political pair reminds more and more House of cards scenario. Including Melania leading ONU security counsel session predicted in the House of cards. There are so many reasons to replace the exhausted mad old man by beautiful sober lady. And to publish files.

Alexander Dugin argues that Trump has stripped away diplomatic illusions and revealed the raw, brutal essence of American hegemony, turning the conflict with Iran into a decisive battle for the future of multipolarity.

The scenario is always the same: first, threats are issued, troops are deployed, and air strikes are launched. Then — whether by the Americans, their local allies, or ‘their own’ hands — the figure embodying resistance, sovereignty and consolidation is eliminated. They are either discredited or physically eliminated.

The Netanyahu/Trump pole is most of all focused on Iran. If Iran were to fall, they would most likely turn their attention to supporting Ukraine and targeting Russia. But Iran’s desperate resistance is diverting their main attention. Right now, Russia is not their priority — Iran is. Of course, Trump no longer cares at all about “peacekeeping,” so any settlement with Russia, if it has any meaning, is purely pragmatic. His war is the war with Iran. Israel has made this war Trump’s war. And Trump is not backing away from it.

It seems to me that in this war—one that is teetering on the edge of becoming a Third World War—we still do not fully understand whether it has already begun or is only approaching. Perhaps these developments can still be delayed, if not entirely avoided.

Russia is a civilizational power (a state-civilization), not merely a nation-state or a peripheral economy. Its historical existence and future are determined not only by raw materials, territory, or even nuclear parity, but by its ability to preserve and develop a sovereign identity in an era when the primary struggle takes place in the domain of software, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and the digital control of reality.

Alexander Dugin argues that Thiel distorts the concept of the Katechon by linking it to technological acceleration, while narrowly framing the Antichrist as liberal globalism.

Alexander Dugin points to Iran’s steadfastness as a model for Russia and calls for the creation of a Corps of Guardians of the Russian Conservative Revolution.

Alexander Dugin: It seems to me that in our volatile world, where everything is on the brink and hanging by a thread, we may face the most incredible twists and turns. Therefore, I do not believe any analysis that claims “this is long-term, and we know for sure” or “this is about to end, and we know for sure.”

There is a paradox. In truth, we opposed the West and gave that opposition a theoretical character only during the Soviet period. It was precisely then that the civilizational tension between East and West reached its historical culmination.

The below transcript is from Prof. Alexander Dugin’s latest episode of the Radio Sputnik Escalation Show. Dugin argues that the US-Israeli attack on Iran has only strengthened Iran’s resolve, inflamed ancient prophecies, and is accelerating the collapse of the post-WWII world system.
