Episode notes
Liberalism As Singular Destiny
- Alexander Dugin argues liberalism claims a singular end-of-history path that erases collective identities.
- Multipolarity rejects that imperial claim and affirms multiple civilizational paths rooted in tradition.
Multipolarity Is A Traditionalist Rejection
- Multipolarity recognizes multiple civilizations and defends their right to follow distinct spiritual and cultural paths.
- Dugin presents this as a postmodern, anti-globalist rejection grounded in traditionalism rather than leftist Marxism.
Individualism Is Liberalism's Core Error
- Dugin traces radical individualism in liberalism back to nominalist roots and the Protestant Reformation.
- He sees modern liberalism as an escalating process that logically leads toward globalist unipolarity.
