This article compels me ask what American civilization actually is. If we are to join in a civilization, we must ask this question and the answer is unfortunately everything Dugin despises. The Revolution of 1776 was a Liberal revolution vs aristocracy and monarchy to create a "city on a hill" through persistent Liberalism i.e. change and "progress". And this, we certain did, although the city has become more a forward artillery observer base than anything else.
A better solution may be to consider the Patriots as having fought for what they believed their rights as Englishmen to have been which King George had violated. Edmund Burke was prescient on the subject (and reminds me of Clare Daly today)
Castlereaugh mitigated vengeance at the Congress of Vienna to create a lasting peace after Napoleon. Gladstone may have over rated his own country's parliamentarianism but parliaments have become global. Even Tsarist Russia had a Duma.
The Scramble for Africa began as America's frontier closed and our expansion turned to South America. Industrialization and the increased needs for raw materials and markets caused it all but that is over. So are the world wars which were largely about just that more than ideologies although the two most "progressive" regimes inherited the Cold War whole Europe's empires disintegrated.
Maybe, this leaves us one collapse short of the Russian Federation, at this point, before we, too, might recover our civilization.
One learns more from mistakes than success although it is a lot more costly.
O respeito e a consideração que tenho pelo Professor Alexandr Dugin e este pequeno artigo deixam-me terrivelmente desconfortável. Não tenho nivel intelectual para falar sobre esta matéria, acho que entendi tudo e agora fico em suspenso. Há de facto uma invasão avassaladora dos vicios do Ocidente que são apenas e só vicios nada trazendo de bom para ninguém. Fico a aguardar mais noticias Professor Alexandre Dugin. Que fará o Presidente Putin?
These translations are treasures.
