Dugin is one of my favourite voices these days. I hope he can explain how his war-inspired nationalism - which makes a lot of sense - differs from the National Socialism of 1930s Germany, which was extremely effective and also used war as a force for unifying the 'volk' though mainly at first the disastrous peace terms following war that Germany was subjected to during the disastrous 1920's. In trying to right those wrongs, he then went into lebensraum and bit off more than he could chew - principally Russia - and the rest, as they say, is history. But Dugin became famous for proposing a Fourth Political Theory now that fascism, communism and liberalism have failed. Is Nationalist Socialism that Fourth Way? Or is this a temporary modus caused by the exigencies of war?
In short, I feel he needs to contextualize is current calls for unifying Russia and Russian Societal Spirit around War using much of his previous work to do so.
So grateful for these translations but here, I must say, that Moscow is not a "front line" city like Bakmut nor Avdiivka.
They are leveled. Rubble. Gone, in flames and smoke. Dead,,,
Yes, a few Goobers shot up Crocus City and burned it down, but that is not Bakmut.
Soldiers, today, really don't protect anyone from international criminals. That is the lesson.
How does a contemporary state do that?
IDK.
But Mr. Putin failed just like the odious Natenyahu failed to grasp a certain military element of multi-polarity : the state no longer monopolizes violence.
It has become simply another "player" in a smorgasbord of PMCs and political gendarmes and miltias of its own creation on both sides.
The time may well come when everyone will go about armed with an armband, not that different from medieval Europe or Russia.
