Internationalism is the new nationalism (or should that be the other way round?)

I know that a number of both bloggers and readers here are very much taken in by Alexander Dugin and National Bolshevism. Suffice to say, considering the man is casually ignored in his own country, this is more than a little peculiar. I never realized hard-core nationalists were such an exportable product.

This is yet odder still if one considers Dugin’s actual views. He believes in the break up of the whole world into four separate supra-national organizations. These would be the Anglo-sphere, Sino-Japan [don’t mention the war!], Euro-Africa [don’t ask] and Russo-India [please don’t ask!]. And how do national loyalties fit into this?

Um, wait a minute…

Oh yes, they don’t. On any sensical measure- such as supporting rights of national self-determination- Dugin is not a nationalist, but a global governor with his own historically blind plan for a new world order. How on earth does he intend to reconcile the Chinese and Japanese, or, even better, the ever so culturally homogeneous Germany and Madagascar? The Taiwanese react violently to union with China, let alone the rest of East Asia. The most Europhile nation, France, voted against union with Britain and Germany. I can just imagine their unbridled joy at the prospect of uniting with the Sudan or Zimbabwe.

Most nobody apart from his fellow cosmopolitan pitchfork populist, Alan de Benoist, is looking forward to the day his country becomes amalgamated in some pan-timezone empire. Dugin’s utopian program will require a worldwide dictatorship, one which will have to trample wholesale on precisely those rights of association (and disassociation) and that sense of Westerness and Englishness which we at MR.com hold so dear.

Dugin’s alternative to the current world order is no alternative, but rather a bizarre iteration of it. In its universalism and disregard for the wants and opinions of the people who will serve as its Guinea pigs, his philosophy is entirely Bolshevik and not at all National.

European nationalism seems to have become every bit as blinkered as Marxism indulging in its worst ideological excesses, and to have entered a 1984 (or, Alice in Wonderland, if you prefer) universe, in which a French “nationalist” can take advice from a Russian “nationalist” about the need to subsume both his nation and his continent into an Afro-European empire!

It sounds more like an elevation of that other ding bat Chomsky- Undoubtedly like most New Age Polytheistic, he too will gather an occult type following equally as pathological as all others before him.
I would have thought more prominent Psychologists would have dissected the mentality and not subscribe to the cult, but it seems none is forth coming in explaining the contents of their minds, and how bent and deteriorated the consciousness - to think up such fairyland stuff.

It surly must indicate the decline of civilization, and we are headed back to the bad days of Egomania totalitarianism and debortuary.
As many Americans say now days and others have cottoned on: “Gold bars-
And keep the powder kegs dry”. Quite understandable, there is a lot to defend, as there is an increasing number of Ideological hoards’, and the New wave of distorted religiosity aligned to Islam and Nazi Ideology. The primitivism of bruit force and fundamental manipulation.
Mount up.

Polytheistic? Dugin might not himself be a cultural Hindu, but some of his best friends are. Take another look at the link, and you’ll see the whole lot: non-judgmental polytheism (he even supports Islam!), yearning for a caste-system, etc, etc.

Yeh , I see what you mean Alex, Islam is not as what Post modern education tells us though, it is as Pantheistic in philosophy of god as is Buddhism, or Hindu. See Spinoza: It has been only this century that others refer to it as Monotheism, it was termed Mohammedan cult in days gone by.
Nazis are the modern source of Ideology and, perhaps using Hitler as the best example of reinventing religion, substitute Hitler and use him in the place of Muhammad at the beginning, and you see a new light on the brainwashing.
I put a link on the Forum: http://majorityrights.com/index.php/forums/viewforum/57/
And no matter what spin some put on the top, Communism – Socialism- Fascism- Islamism- etc, are reinventions of previous theologies that lead to the bad old days of total Looting and war lord hegemony, and the brains of civilization are quashed and abandoned, and that can’t be good. (Understatement).

That’s better, I can see the map now.
Can we cut and paste Africa totally, North and South and put it on Titan?

“considering the man is casually ignored in his own country”

This is not true at all. Dugin is regularly featured on mainstream Russian TV programs. He also writes a regular column for the Russian edition of ROLLING STONE magazine. His books also sell fairly well.
