“If you are in favour of global liberal hegemony, you are the enemy.”
― Alexander Dugin

“What we are against will unite us, while what we are for divides us. Therefore, we should emphasise what we oppose. The common enemy unites us, while the positive values each of us are defending actually divides us. Therefore, we must create strategic alliances to overthrow the present order of things, of which the core could be described as human rights, anti-hierarchy, and political correctness – everything that is the face of the Beast, the anti-Christ or, in other terms, Kali-Yuga.”
― Alexander Dugin

“There are secularised cultures, but at the core of all of them, the spirit of Tradition remains, religious or otherwise. By defending the multiplicity, plurality and polycentrism of cultures, we are making an appeal to the principles of their essences, which we can only find in the spiritual traditions. But we try to link this attitude to the necessity for social justice and the freedom of differing societies in the hope for better political regimes. The idea is to join the spirit of Tradition with the desire for social justice. And we don’t want to oppose them, because that is the main strategy of hegemonic power: to divide Left and Right, to divide cultures, to divide ethnic groups, East and West, Muslims and Christians. We invite Right and Left to unite, and not to oppose traditionalism and spirituality, social justice and social dynamism. So we are not on the Right or on the Left. We are against liberal postmodernity. Our idea is to join all the fronts and not let them divide us. When we stay divided, they can rule us safely. If we are united, their rule will immediately end. That is our global strategy. And when we try to join the spiritual tradition with social justice, there is an immediate panic among liberals. They fear this very much.”

“The subject of Communism was class. Fascism’s subject was the state, in Italian Fascism under Mussolini, or race in Hitler’s National Socialism. In liberalism, the subject was represented by the individual, freed from all forms of collective identity and any ‘membership’ (l’appartenance). While the ideological struggle had formal opponents, entire nations and societies, at least theoretically, were able to select their subject of choice — that of class, racism or statism, or individualism. The victory of liberalism resolved this question: the individual became the normative subject within the framework of all mankind. This is when the phenomenon of globalisation entered the stage, the model of a post-industrial society makes itself known, and the postmodern era begins. From now on, the individual subject is no longer the result of choice, but is a kind of mandatory given. Man is freed from his ‘membership’ in a community and from any collective identity,”
― Alexander Dugin, The Fourth Political Theory

“The path that humanity entered upon in the modern era led precisely to liberalism and to the repudiation of God, tradition, community, ethnicity, empires and kingdoms. Such a path is tread entirely logically: having decided to liberate itself from everything that keeps man in check, the man of the modern era reached his logical apogee: before our eyes he is liberated from himself. The logic of world liberalism and globalisation pulls us into the abyss of postmodern dissolution and virtuality. Our youth already have one foot in it: the codes of liberal globalism are effectively introduced on an unconscious level — through habits, commercials, glamour, technology, the media, celebrities. The usual phenomenon now is the loss of identity, and already not simply only national or cultural identity, but even sexual, and soon enough even human identity.”
― Alexander Dugin, The Fourth Political Theory

“Sooner or later the endless spectacle is over. Then we will take revenge; mercilessly.”
― Alexander Dugin

“History is local. A shared sense of history is possible only on the basis of the domination of one society over another, and imposing its own history and, thus, its identity on the enslaved one.”
― Alexander Dugin, The Fourth Political Theory

“Undoubtedly racist is the idea of unipolar globalization. It is based on the fact that Western, especially American, society equates its history and its values to universal law and artifcially tries to con- struct a global society based on these local and historically specific values – democracy, the market, parliamentarianism, capitalism, individualism, human rights, and unlimited technological development. These values are local, and globalization is trying to impose them onto all of humanity as something that is universal and taken for granted. This attempt implicitly argues that the values of all other peoples and cultures are imperfect, underdeveloped, and are subject to modernization and standardization based on the Western model.
Globalization is thus nothing more than a globally deployed model of Western European, or, rather, Anglo-Saxon ethnocentrism, which is the purest manifestation of racist ideology.”
― Alexander Dugin, The Fourth Political Theory

“Myth does not belong to the past!" ..." Sacred dimension is always here.,”
― Alexander Dugin

“The only way to be pardoned by the races violently abused and reduced to slavery - whites, blacks, yellows and browns included -- is to repent the Modernity, capitalism and all three main eurocentric and colonialist political theories - starting from liberalism (main evil) and communism and fascism as well. Real life matters, not this abhorrent and mean liberal simulacrum. The life should not be black. Without identity every life will be senseless and "black". Meaningful lives matter. It is the Modernity and capitalism that should be killed. Otherwise it will continue and in much worse way as before. Death to the System!”
― Alexander Dugin

“Civil society’ completely displaces government and converts into a global, cosmopolitan melting pot;”
― Alexander Dugin, The Fourth Political Theory

“Either our political struggle is soteriological and eschatological, or it is meaningless.”
― Alexander Dugin

“Esses espetáculos que vemos hoje nas chamadas "revoluções coloridas" não têm nada de revolucionário genuíno em si mesmo. Eles são organizados pela oligarquia mundial, são preparados e apoiados por suas redes. As "revoluções coloridas" são quase sempre dirigidas contra as sociedades ou os regimes políticos, que ativa ou passivamente resistem à oligarquia global, desafiam seus interesses, que tentam manter certa independência de sua política, estratégia, assuntos regionais e economia. Assim, as "revoluções coloridas" ocorrem de forma seletiva, baseando-se em redes de comunicação de massa desenvolvidas pela elite globalista. Trata-se de uma paródia da revolução e servem apenas fins contrarrevolucionários.”
― Alexander Dugin, Geopolítica do Mundo Multipolar

“The Eurasianist cosmos is the generalizing territory of the place-development of the spirit. It is the spiritual order that penetrates all levels of reality, both subtle and coarse, soulful and corporeal, social and natural. The Eurasianist cosmos is permeated with subtle trajectories traversed by fiery, eternal ideas and winged meanings. Reading these trajectories, revealing them out of concealment, and extracting complex meanings out of the corporeal plasma of disparate facts and phenomena is the task of humanity.

For the Eurasianists, the cosmos is an inner notion. It is revealed not through expansion, but rather, or on the contrary, through immersion deep within it, through concentration on the hidden aspects of the reality given here and now.”
― Alexander Dugin

“Aquilo que os americanos chamam de "progresso", a "democratização", "desenvolvimento" e "civilização" é de fato uma degradação, colonização, degeneração, degenerescência e uma forma paradoxal peculiar da ditadura liberal. Não é exagero dizer que os Estados Unidos como um bastião do liberalismo militante, é uma encarnação visível de todo o mal que assola a humanidade hoje, é um mecanismo poderoso que constantemente leva a humanidade à catástrofe final. Esse é o império do mal absoluto. E os reféns e vítimas do curso desastroso desse império não são apenas todas as outras nações, mas também os americanos comuns, não diferentes do resto das conquistadas, espoliadas, privadas e perseguidas nações de abate.”
― Alexander Dugin, Geopolítica do Mundo Multipolar

“I think the essence of philosophy and human thought is to be dangerous.”
― Alexander Dugin

“A ONU que não representa uma instituição do multipolarismo na forma pura pode cumprir –temporária e pragmaticamente – uma função defensiva através de opor mecanicamente essas tendências através da sua própria estrutura. Os EUA percebem isto perfeitamente quando expõe à ONU as críticas ainda mais fortes, ridicularizando sua inabilidade e incapacidade, repreendendo-a por recursos devastadores apropriados para seus limites e abonos antigos, etc. Os apoiadores da ordem do mundo multipolar podem muito bem utilizar a ONU como uma tela em tal caso para organizar mais instituições efetivas do multipolarismo. Tomando a ONU como uma forma da ordem cessante do mundo que sobrevive nas sombras de sua gradual decadência como até agora prolongando sua graduação tão longe quanto possível, se pode tentar colocar a fundação das novas instituições legais dentro dos limites antigos.”
― Alexander Dugin, Geopolítica do Mundo Multipolar

“A sociedade normal é aquela onde os povos, nações e estados são mantidos como formas tradicionais de comunidade humana, como as formas criadas, criados pela história e tradição. Eles podem mudar ou se transformar, mas eles não devem ser abolidos ou mesclados forçadamente em um único caldeirão global. A diversidade de povos e nações é um tesouro histórico da humanidade. Abolindo isso, iremos para a abolição da história, para o fim do casamento plural, liberdade e riqueza cultural. Os processos de globalização devem ser imediatamente cortados.”
― Alexander Dugin, Geopolítica do Mundo Multipolar

“Un des éléments de la philosophie eurasiste est l'esprit de la terre, la foi en l'esprit de la terre, l'adoration de l'esprit de la terre, le dialogue avec lui et le culte de l'esprit de la terre.”
― Alexander Dugin

“Heidegger speaks of “the war of Seyn-being with beings”. This was is based on the fact that the interrelation of Seyn-being and beings is problematic and not obvious. This is that which more than anything else merits questioning. If questioning is not constituted in the proper way, if it becomes one question along with others, if too hurried and inaccurate an answer is given to it – and a decision is made in every case by man as the carrier of speech as a form of the essenting of Seyn-being – then Seyn-being enters into a war with beings. The name of this war is Gestell.”
― Alexander Dugin, Martin Heidegger: The Philosophy of Another Beginning

“Idéologiquement, l’unipolarité est basée sur les valeurs Modernes et Postmodernes, qui sont ouvertement anti-traditionnelles. Je partage la vision de René Guénon et Julius Evola qui ont considéré la Modernité et ses bases idéologiques (l’individualisme, la démocratie libérale, le capitalisme, le consumérisme, etc.) comme les causes de la catastrophe à venir de l’humanité, et d’autre part la domination globale du style occidental comme la raison de la dégradation finale de la Terre. L’Occident approche de sa fin et nous ne devrions pas le laisser entraîner tout le reste dans l’abîme".”
― Alexander Dugin

“L’unique façon de nous sauver, de sortir l’humanité et la culture de ce piège est de faire un pas au-delà de la culture logocentrique et de s’adresser au Chaos.”
― Alexander Dugin

“I believe that artificial intelligence is quite possible precisely because our human intelligence is artificial. What is natural is stupidity. When we try not to be stupid, we become more and more artificial because we acquire some practices, agencies, and some knowledge, some algorithm, more than knowledge, more than the storage of some facts. In that sense, reason is mechanical. What is not mechanical, what is really deep in us, is something that transcends this level of mechanical choice that is completely based on pre-established protocols.”
― Alexander Dugin

“The higher up and more authoritarian the ruler, the closer he is to the masses and the more stable his rule.”
― Alexander Dugin, Putin vs Putin: Vladimir Putin Viewed from the Right

“Le thème de « troisième totalitarisme » peut bien apparaître dans le contexte de la sociologie française classique (l’école de Dürkheim) et de la philosophie postmoderne. La sociologie de Dürkheim soutient que les contenus de la conscience individuelle sont entièrement formés sur les bases de la conscience collective. En d’autres mots, la nature totalitaire d’une société, même d’une société individualiste et libérale, ne peut pas être annulée. Ainsi, le fait même de déclarer que l’individu est la plus haute valeur et la mesure de toutes choses (libéralisme) est une projection de la société, c’est-à-dire une forme d’influence totalitaire et d’induction idéologique.”
― Alexander Dugin

“La chose la plus importante est de commencer la préparation systématique d’une élite révolutionnaire globale, orientée vers la multipolarité et la Quatrième Théorie Politique. Cette élite doit assumer une fonction critique – être un lien entre le local et le global. Au niveau local, nous parlons des masses et des meilleurs représentants de leur culture locale (dirigeants religieux, philosophes, etc.). Souvent, ces communautés n’ont pas de vision planétaire et défendent simplement leur identité conservatrice qui existait avant le début de la mondialisation toxique et de l’impérialisme occidental.”
― Alexander Dugin

“Notre monachisme est un modèle anthropologique. L'autorité, le niveau hiérarchique et le pouvoir augmentent proportionnellement à l'abolition de l'élément individuel et à la lueur émanant de l'effort ascétique. Un bon dirigeant est celui qui ne veut rien avoir pour lui-même. Au lieu de cela, il a tout, mais pris en agrégation et enrichi de manière eidétique, enrichissant au maximum l'aspect intérieur de l'existence. Quelque chose de similaire a été incorporé au Moyen Âge dans la théorie du «deuxième corps du roi».”
― Alexander Dugin

“What is most important in this interpretation of the morphology of time? The idea that time precedes the object, and that in the construction of time we should seek an inner depth of consciousness, rather than a consciousness rooted in outer phenomena constituted by the subjective process of traumatic self-awareness. The world around us becomes what it is by the fundamental action of presencing accomplished by the mind. When the mind sleeps, reality lacks the sense of present existence. It is fully immersed in a continuous dream. The world is created by time, and time, in its turn, is the manifestation of self-aware subjectivity, an intrasubjectivity.”
― Alexander Dugin, The Fourth Political Theory

“Men are totally defined by their identity, language, cultural biology, history, and heritage in any sense, positive or negative. So I think in that sense only robots or racist, which are almost the same typologically, cold pretend to possess a universal rule or universal protocols to define what justice if for a Russia, Muslim, or Chinese.”
― Alexander Dugin

“Nous devons donc distinguer deux types de chaos : le « chaos » postmoderniste équivalant à une confusion, un genre de post-ordre, et un Chaos grec, comme pré-ordre, quelque chose qui existe avant que ne naisse la réalité ordonnée. Seul le deuxième peut être considéré comme Chaos au sens propre du mot. Ce second sens (en fait, l'original) devrait être examiné avec attention d'un point de vue métaphysique.”
