Once relegated to the mere corners of some fringe political currents in Russia that nobody took seriously, we have had the misfortune of being subjected to Dugin in the English-speaking web thanks to the tireless efforts of the patsoc crowd, specifically the Infrared folks, who made it their mission to put communism and the revolution on hold to promote the word of Dugin.
With that in mind, and because I see some people uncritically accepting Dugin as this great figure to look up to (they never actually call him a Marxist) in the name of contrarianism, I figured I was gonna have to actually read Dugin. When the Internet was created and touted as a way to bring people closer together, I’m not sure this is what they had in mind.
Regardless, I have downloaded a PDF of Dugin’s foundational book, The Fourth Political Theory, and I can now look forward to a very good time for the foreseeable future.
Oh no what’s this
Oh shit shit shit
Oh fuck you at this point you’re just trolling
There’s probably something there if you dig deep enough. But I don’t know why the mantra of the “we need to learn from the failures of the USSR and move beyond 20th century mechanistic and deterministic concepts of reality” left is always “read Dugin” and not “read Kim Jong-Il.”
Because it’s easier for Westerners to relate to other pieces of shit and edgelords.
