Following a linear pattern of Architecture Brutalism was the last significant style and is seemingly making a comeback. Astrology is the 'Archeo' because myth is persevered there. The 4th political theory means multi-polarity rather than uni-polarity however its thesis not only is far away from the mainstream , much due to lack of translations, but lacks a presence in academia for discussion and debate. I cannot say lets go with that concept without THAT type of discussion and analysis amongst my piers along with the other elements of water and air.

IDK-"capitalism" thrived under monarchs and dictators and better under auhoritarian regimes in the true sense.

Free Market never existed. Gov't always controlled economy to some extent except in its most outlandish form of local warlords doing whatever they wanted via money and force, the two faces of power.

Germany did not opt out of Russian LNG. U.S. sabotaged Nordstrem and Germany has been going broke ever since on American LNG.

Spengler and Evola both talked about endless frontiers and so did Heinlein IIRC but "Star Ship Trooper" is just WW2 sans "Hogan's Heroes": fun, but make the "bugs" humans and it's a tragedy.

Elon Musk Is child in Red PIll clothing. He's censored more on X than Dempsy ever did and his stance on H-1B visas are tyrannical in every bad sense i.e. keeping compay secrets. Peter Thiel is worse.

A 4th Political Theory is not of the past or any lost future but something we have not seen on Earth before the technology comprising economies of the world has never been seen before.

Here, I 'd agree with the essay and maybe Rechtenwald and Rerum Novarum.

The great economic theories are all locked in the technology or means of production of their day. Marx began to make sense when Adam Smith didn't any longer because machines had rendered the proletariat more important than capital and artisan work of Smith's day. That the bourgeosie identified with has-been aristocracy rather than the proletariat was Marx's gripe which an American today might better understand because out heute bourgeosie have become as much the snobs.

As global literacy and multi-polarity increases, the less we need "heroes".

We all just want a life.

“I came to realize that one single human being, comprehended in his depth, who gives generously from the treasures of his heart, bestows on us more riches than Caesar or Alexander could ever conquer. Here is our kingdom, the best of monarchies, the best republic. Here is our garden, our happiness.”

― Ernst Jünger, The Glass Bees
