Alexander Dugin and the Decline of the West

 We are rotting. But in the rot, something slithers. Oswald Spengler looked at Europe and saw an old woman, lips painted to hide the cracks. Alexander Dugin looks at the world and sees a battlefield, lines drawn in blood. Faustian man, the one who reaches beyond, the builder of cathedrals, the engineer of apocalypse — he built too much, reached too far, and now he drowns in the very ocean he sought to conquer. What is left? A new war, not just a war of nations, but of Being itself. The Fourth Political Theory does not weep for the West like Spengler does. It laughs. It sharpens its knife. It declares the old ideologies dead and shoves their corpses into the dirt.
