"In principle, Eurasia and our space, the heartland Russia, remain the staging area of a new anti-bourgeois, anti-American revolution... The new Eurasian empire will be constructed on the fundamental principle of the common enemy: the rejection of Atlanticism, strategic control of the USA, and the refusal to allow liberal values to dominate us. This common civilizational impulse will be the basis of a political and strategic union."


Fourth Theory is a reactionary, authoritarian and economically left (but tolerant of other forms of economic illiberalism) ideology that seeks to go beyond the 3 modern political theories, Liberalism, Communism and Fascism. Fourth Theory deems that Liberalism and its associated post-modernism have successfully defeated their 2 major political opponents ( Marxism–Leninism and Fascism) and are currently destroying politics as a whole. So, therefore, it is necessary to combat liberalism with a fourth political theory, inspired by fringe ideas from communist and fascist movements, but rejecting the orthodoxy of both of them. Fourth Theory rejects the ideas that the main subject of politics is one of individualism, class or nation but one of Dasein, a concept of Heideggerian philosophy that roughly refers to the experience of being unique to humans. The Fourth Theory also wants and calls for a return to traditionalism and theology, because it seeks to return to a set of values that oppose those of the current liberal modernity. This article discusses Fourth Theory from the point of view of Dugin as well as the Russian government.

History

Aleksandr Dugin

Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin is a Russian political philosopher, analyst, and strategist known for his anti-liberal, and anti-western views. Aleksandr Dugin is believed to have close ties to Vladimir Putin's regime and influenced aspects of Putin's foreign policy over the past two decades.

In the 1980s, during the late days of the Soviet Union, Dugin was an anti-communist dissident and worked as a journalist before becoming involved in politics just before the fall of communism. In 1988, he and his friend Geydar Dzhemal joined the ultranationalist group Pamyat (Memory), which would later give rise to Russian fascism. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Dugin helped to write the political program for the newly reformed Communist Party of the Russian Federation under the leadership of Gennady Zyuganov. In 1993, he co-founded the National Bolshevik Party along with Eduard Limonov. Dugin, however, left the party 5 years later after he disagreed with Limonov and other members of the party on policies.

Dugin published the book Foundations of Geopolitics in 1997 which has been used as a textbook in the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian military and is been by western analysts as the Russian version of Manifest Destiny. In Foundations of Geopolitics, Dugin calls for Russia to take back control over regions that once belonged to the former Russian Empire and unite Eurasia against the US and NATO and liberal values.

Dugin supports Vladimir Putin and his foreign policies and "military operations" in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine (Although he believes that Putin hasn't gone far enough).

Beliefs

Fourth Political Theory to Supersede the Three

Fourth Theory believes that there are three main political ideologies which are Liberalism, Communism, and Fascism. Liberal politics were based on individualism, Communist politics is based on class, while Fascist politics was based on nation. Fourth Theory itself then believes to be itself a completely new ideology away from the orthodox three considering it as superceding the three. Thus Fourth Theory politics are based on what's known as Dasein also known as existence itself along with ethnos which is cultural phenomenon as a community of language, religious beliefs, daily life, and sharing of resources "as an organic entity."

Dasein

Dasein is a Heideggerian concept and one of the main ideas of Fourth Theory. Dasein can be translated as "being here/there", and it is Heidegger's understanding of human nature. It is a human Being which is always embedded in concrete historical, temporal, cultural and local reality. Dasein is particular, not universal. It is shared with other members of a community, but not with all of humanity. It can be understood as subjectivity. Subjectivity, particularly cultural, shapes a large part in how Fourth Theory sees the world.

Anti-Liberalism

Fourth Theory really hates liberalism and believes that Liberalism has beaten the other two ideologies, Fascism and Communism. Therefore, despite having disagreements with both of those ideologies, it seeks to create an alliance of anti-liberal forces in a common struggle against liberalism because it sees it as way worse and satanic. It rejects modernity and wants a return to Tradition. It is often anti-American and sees America as responsible for global liberalism. It doesn't like modern technology and sees it as a tool of the globalists, but nevertheless doesn't completely reject it because it would leave Russia and other illiberal countries defenseless against the "Great Satan".

Fourth theory considers liberalism racist because it sees it as intolerant of illiberal cultures, and views it as a form of cultural supremacism.

Foreign Policy

Probably the most well known and most understandable part of Fourth Theory is its foreign policy. Fourth Theory believes in Eurasianism, a socio-political movement that believes Russia to be a standalone civilization not a part of Europe or Asia, but with roots of both. Russia should aim to retake land lost in the 20th century and then aim to unite the Eurasian continent in a coordinated struggle to fight Atlanticist hegemony. Despite its opposition to Russian ethno-nationalism, critics have labelled Eurasianism as a national mythos designed to justify Russian chauvinism. Due to this belief, it is often called "Russian Manifest Destiny".

A key concept in Russian foreign policy is the idea of multipolarity, where states and civilizations across the globe exercise their own power in contrast with the Western-led unipolar hegemony. Fourth Theory claims that the fight for multipolarity is important in countering liberal hegemony, and in the construction of a more just world.

Much of the Alt-Right and conservative left are also attracted to the views of Dugin. It is rumored that Fourth Theory has been the one who influence Putin to invade Ukraine.

Fourth Theory views Russia's Dasein as liberating because it sees other cultures and nations as itself, as opposed to Western Dasein which is neurotic and anxious, perceiving others as hostile. It also sees Russian imperialism and foreign policy, as well as the policy of all countries, as constrained and determined by geopolitical "big spaces".

Personality

Similar to how Nrx.png Neoreactionaryism is often portrayed as the Alt-Right's more "intellectual" brother, Fourth Theory is also portrayed as Nazbol's smarter, less GANG focused brother.

He's often calm enough towards other balls in spite of his litany of insults towards anything liberal, while his eccentric and anti-Western views make many balls hate him, with others taking him as an ally of convenience - which he reciprocates, allowing his hatred of the Western world to surpass any other hate he might feel towards them. Often resorting to violent solutions regarding global issues, Fourth Theory has earned a reputation of fear and hatred from many, particularly those he considers Atlanticists. Many illiberal ideologies side with him for his unrestrained hatred and opposition towards liberal ideology. He expects other political balls to either side with him or his arch nemesis, with many refraining from doing so.

Stylistic Notes

  • Like Marxism-Leninism, Fourth Theory possesses a heavy Russian accent.
  • Occasionally wears traditional Russian clothing, preferably an ushanka
  • Likes throwing people out of windows
  • Enjoys driving tanks
  • Believes he has the pretext to invade people's homes if he thinks neoconservatism is there

Relationships

Friends of Eurasia

  • National Bolshevism - So close!
  • Reactionary Socialism - Nice cultural policies.
  • Conservative Socialism - On a good path. Your Patriotic Socialism variant is especially based as well.
  • Putinism - The Western media outlets will always think that I'm your ideological brain. Your moves in Syria, Ukraine, Georgia and others are great but you should be way more hardline, for we need to have more ideological institutions. Regardless, we MUST win against the Nazis, for there can only be one Eurasia, and that is under our great leader.
  • Rashism - We must defeat Ukraine, for the sake of multipolarity! The Atlanticists must be buried, only then will the world breathe again!
  • Left-Wing Nationalism - The vanguard of the Eurasian revolution! Your Turkish variant is literally me!
  • African Socialism - A true revolutionary fighting against neo-colonialism. Julius Malema is extremely based, and has denounced Western imperialism against Putin and Russia!
  • Ba'athism - A great ally against the Western unipolar hegemony. Assad is especially based!
  • Saadehism - You're not all that but if something happens to them, you'll probably be in charge.
  • Khomeinism - Iran is based for how it stands up to the West. You're the center of the war against modernity.
  • State Socialism, State Capitalism, Corporatism, and Welfare Chauvinism - The economic systems of most of my followers.
  • Authoritarian Conservatism - You know how to run things. But many leaders of the White Movement kind of sold out to the Atlanticists.
  • Gaddafism - Libya was way better under you.
  • Anti-Centrism - Beyond left and right and against the center. NO, I am NOT working with those two
  • Contrarianism - Literally anybody siding with the Atlanticists is automatically my enemy.
  • Combatocracy - There should be an Aristocracy of warriors who are chosen by how well they fight!
  • Irredentism - Ukraine and Finland have always been a part of Russia and we are simply rebuilding our traditional heritage. I swear I'm not racist, *insert 50 page rant about Dasein*.
  • Neo-Bolshevism - Eurasia forever! Although, you do take it a little far..
  • Chavismo & Peronism - Latin America needs to unify to achieve true sovereignty.
  • Khanism - The Tatar yoke was not as bad as people usually think (or at least that's what Lev Gumilyov says).
  • Juche - Best Korea! Juche is the Daisen of the Korean soul, and your rejection of capitalism and liberalism is extremely based! Russia should adopt Juche with our own separate characteristics.
  • National Communism - Cuba, Vietnam, and North Korea are all great nations! It's great that you've abandoned internationalism.
  • Socialism of the 21st Century - Very based, Latin America's fight for a better future free from American imperialism. Latuff has some based takes against libtards.
  • Xi Jinping Thought - You want a multipolar world led by socialists too. That's based, and a huge improvement from the days of Deng. Why won't you cut the economic ties with Westoids completely though? Oh, right, money. You'll do it if the situation escalates in the South China Sea though.

Frenemies

  • Fascism - Some good ideas but you need to accept socialist economics!
  • Marxism–Leninism - And you need to reject left-wing cultural positions!
  • Leninism - Anti-clerical, internationalist progressive who created Ukraine! (Which is why it belongs to us). At least you kept Mother Russia out of the claws of the Whites and their Entente Atlanticist masters.
  • Orthodox Theocracy - The current Eastern Orthodox Church is cringe, but society still needs a religious revival.
  • Catholic Theocracy - The Catholic Church is a “natural ally” but I am not Catholic and in modern times you have connections to liberalism. At least you understand my daughter's death was a mistake.
  • Jewish Theocracy - Honestly, I don't know what to say. On one hand, you support Israel. But hey, maybe you can drop the Talmud and embrace a new tradition mixing the Torah with Kabballah. Then we'd be good. Or is that wishful thinking?
  • Lolbert Useful Idiot - You are a variant of liberalism; that's stupid. Your isolationism allows me to conquer things unchecked, however, so you can be a useful idiot for my goals.
  • Paleoconservatism - Your cultural policies are too moderate and your supporters are often economically liberal. And why do you hate imperialism? But Tucker Carlson is actually based. You would let me conquer the world unchecked like that idiot. However, unlike him, I think we could have the potential to become allies against the Westoids.
    • - Nah, I don't care. All I want is to sit isolated and not trade one imperialist for another, you're all garbage to me. Besides, I'm not going to betray my country even if it's not under the best leadership.
  • Archeofuturism - You want a return to tradition as well. But stop with the transhumanist cr*p, and stop stealing my ideas. And your idea to unite Eurasia and North America betrays the very purpose of Eurasianism, we want to create a Eurasian big space to force the USA to finally leave Eurasia alone, not to merge the continents into one.
  • Reactionary Modernism - You are a modernist reactionary like me, but I don't like the transhumanism at all. Same as above, but more realistic. I still prefer Putin over Medvedev.
  • Bonapartism - On the one hand, you are a stupid enlightened liberal who fought against Russia. On the other hand, you wanted to build a monarchist, tellurocratic Eurasian empire. That was actually pretty based.
  • Neoreactionaryism - On one hand, you are often a stupid liberal, and many of your transhumanist ideas are dangerous. And Nick Lands' plans are outright disgusting. But often, your ideas are derived from the same sources as mine and you often have a certain respect for tradition.
  • Liberalism 1.0 - You're a liberal, but you're the worst enemy of the limitless hedonism and total individualism of Liberalism 2.0, so you have some of my respect.
  • Posadism - Progressive transhumanist, but we both agree that dolphins will be philosophers.
  • Neo-Ottomanism - I helped resolve that conflict between you and Putin. Obviously you don't even compare to him but I won't intentionally exclude you from things. I won't count you as a friend either until you become less like him and more like him. Also, stop being friends with this nut.
  • Dengism - I once suggested that China should be dismantled, but now that's no longer the case, thanks to him. You introduced foreign markets into China and you even cooperated with the Americans.
  • Trotskyism - You have some good ideas, anti-liberalism is based, But can you tone it down with Permanent Revolution? You're acting like him. "No war but class war" is opportunistic dogma, we must support them anyway because we need an alliance to oppose the Atlanticists. Also, you believe in the Marxist view of international world revolution, when we should be trying to consolidate Eurasia.
  • Alt-Lite - The vast majority of you are Western-aligned conservatives, even if Bannon likes me. You also hang out with them sometimes.
  • Alt-Right - Spencer betrayed me for the Westoids, but you're an improvement of him in terms of anti-liberalism . Though, your supporters are often Nazis and racists. Some of you don't like me, others see me as a good tool against 'globohomo'.
  • National Capitalism - Hmm, the Wagner group was great before the backstab, but people like Videla, Banzer, Barbie, and Cao Ky all worked with neoconservatives. And a saboteur from the Azov regiment literally killed my daughter!
  • Authoritarian Capitalism - Gazprom is incredibly based, but many of your variants are US-backed puppet states.
  • Kleptocracy - Putin is based for how he stands up to the West, but Western oligarchs are still cringe.
  • Social Authoritarianism - Lukashenko, Duterte, Rahmon, and Juan Velasco are all great, and it's good to see Schroder eventually shed his Atlanticist and Third Way ideology to fully side with Russia. But Thaksin and Third Way supporters are still cringe.
  • Right-Wing Populism - Alex Jones is based for a Westerner! Orbán is also pretty good, but AfD is a mixed bag. However, Salvini and Meloni are Atlanticist post-fascists. And a lot of you support Poland.
  • Bismarckism - As far as Westoids go, you were probably the best they had to offer since Napoleon. Germany and Russia really should've retained their tellurocratic alliance. Wish you were more accepting of socialist economics though.
  • Nicholas II Thought - You should've gone to war against the Limey and the Frog-Eater like your namesake, not against the Kraut. At least you took the right way against the Young Turk nutjobs.
  • Longism - Huey Long is entertaining and atypical. He was right on Welfare and progressive tax and much more, but still, he can`t be attributed to Fourth Theory. But still, let's hope that the United States will return to your ideas
  • Integralism - You seem to place the Catholic religion above the Eurasian order, but we still can be allies against the godless libtards, right?
  • Clerical Fascism and Monarcho-Fascism - Barkashov is now tolerable though too friendly to the Neo-Nazis, while Rodzayevsky was a fascist with weeb sympathies, and Taboritsky was most definitely a sellout to Hitlerites.
  • Luxemburgism - "Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to Socialism or regression into Barbarism." On that we agree, but have you considered choosing both? You have traces of liberalism within you, but your anti-liberal stance is nonetheless constructive.

Soulless Atlanticists

  • Liberalism - Your time to go has come! Off to the window!
  • Neoliberalism - You too, degenerate!
  • Big Tent Liberalism - A political theory that unites all the liberals against me? Not gonna lie, I'm kind of impressed. NOW BRING IT ON!!!
  • Neoconservatism - Can you feel your work unraveling my friend? Nobody in your own country likes you anymore, neither left nor right. How has your mighty industrial complex failed at every turn of the way in the Ukraine, how you still overextend over the world, how you are a puppet of the very institutions you created. It was only a matter of time, consider it divine punishment for destroying the Middle East and Eastern Europe!
  • Third Way - You're a horrid monstrosity, you have all the expansionism and Western chauvinism of the American right and all the degenerate liberalism of the American left. You best start believing in curses, because the Assad and Zelensky curses are very much real and have done wonders to your ranks.
  • American Model - The American Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race!
  • European Federalism - An Atlanticist puppet. Europe must free itself and join the Eurasian continent! Break the chains imposed on you by the Atlanticist slave masters! Good luck with the gas prices, XAXAX!
  • Kaczyzm - Poland is a CIA puppet and Atlanticist police state! You really think threatening to unleash Article 5 on me would leave you with any options besides the total annihilation of the West?
    • - Poland will remain on the map, even if it's the last map ever made.
  • Zelenskyism - A fascist American puppet. How's that counteroffensive going for you?
  • State Liberalism - This is what liberalism leads to, people.
  • Landian Accelerationism - Honest liberal, funny to see how other liberals trying to exclude you from their club when I speak with them.
  • LesbiaNRx - Postmodern anarchist degenerate who happens to be influenced by his disgusting ideas and plans to create even more disgusting ideas and plans that will do much more harm to the world. People like you are truly the result of liberalism, fucking degenerate scum.
  • CyberFeminism - You're pretty much like above except not explicitly influenced by him. Still pretty bad and equally as degenerate.
  • Thaksinism - I’ve heard strange rumors about you from Thai Ultraroyalists that you’re funding recent pro-democracy protests with the purpose of turning Thailand into a US proxy against China. That’s why I’m supporting Prayuth and Vajiralongkorn!
  • Liberal Conservatism - Out of the three main forms of conservatism, you are indeed the worst. But Berlusconi is good diplomatically
  • Social Liberalism - Tea or window?
  • Social Democracy - Same question. I don't know why he calls you a social fascist, you're nothing like him.
  • Nazism - The torturer and butcher of the Soviet people, and currently Ukraine. I don't know why dad likes you so much. And there is nothing wrong with race mixing. Although we wouldn’t have gotten the Dasein without Heidegger, who was a member of your ranks.
  • Esoteric Fascism - You're a psychotic and racist freak. Your few supporters openly hate Eurasianism and your mere presence is regrettable at best. And stop bashing Abrahamic religions! But you do provide great information about ancient traditions and Catharsis. And I can't deny that some of your figures have influenced a few of my ideas.
  • Strasserism - Fuck you Strasser, you are a pan-European retard who wanted to destroy glorious Russia! I know we we align on many of the same issues but you're still a Nazi.
  • White Nationalism - Racist chauvinist! You reject the beauty of the Eurasian continent. Africa will be a new pole in the multipolar world, and there is nothing you can do about it!
  • Pinochetism - You're a neoliberal dictator siding with the Atlanticists, there is literally nothing redeemable about you. Can your helicopter save you from the window?
  • Globalism - Death be upon you! (How does uniting half the world against the USA oppose you, you ask? Haha don't ask questions.)
  • Zionism - Bullshit occupant state. Also, Israel controls America, and both are controlled by shadow governments.
  • Esoteric Socialism - A great example of an esoteric ideology that is genuinely and diametrically OPPOSED to us (although the economics and Gumilyov are based... Wait, am I basically you but in practice and actually real?).
  • Liberal Socialism - Why did you bring liberalism into left-wing politics? You essentially removed all of your redeeming qualities, enjoy the taste of tank tracks for lunch!
  • Progressivism - The worst possible expression of liberalism. You want to destroy illiberal cultures! Although, your non-interventionist friend here fought against his lies, and that I can respect.
  • Revolutionary Progressivism - You are scum of the earth, you're even worse than the above! Off to the window, you liberal freak!
  • Libertarian Feminism - Slut. Enjoy your Western values!
  • Queer Anarchism - Anarchist and progressive queer, you belong to a children's playground. "I agree that gender is a social construct, it is not something biological, because I don't believe in biology. But I think we could choose."
  • Pink Capitalism - The worst mutation of liberalism possible.
  • Homoconservatism - The worst mutation of conservatism in the world, almost completely irredeemable! Although, I did once suggest that the Kremlin should back patriotic homosexuals. Thiel's pretty based though
  • Gay Libertarianism - And you’re the worst mutation of libertarianism, you ARE completely irredeemable!
  • Maoism - The enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend. Your Cultural Revolution destroyed the very foundations that China was built on, and is exactly why ultra-progressivism is a disaster! I also won't forget how you welcomed Nixon to China in 1972. From that moment on, you and your successor Deng worked with the Americans against us!
  • Hoxhaism - I don't care if Khrushchev was anti-Stalinist and liberal, you left the Eastern bloc, one of his greatest achievements, and that alone is enough to pit me against you!
  • Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and Maoism-Third Worldism - You're fake socialists and degenerates, and the only thing you do is unleash destruction upon countries like the Jungle Trots that you are. I am the true representative of the Third World! Also, "no war but class war"? Even if the three of us hate liberalism, neither of you belong to any position of power.
  • Illuminatism - Jean Parvulesco showed me that you are the ones controlling the USA and Great Britain. And you are probably an ancient Seth-worshipping cabal who already corrupted Atlantis.[1] [2]
  • Transhumanism - You will be humanity's self-destruction and you are the end point of modernity and the ultimate evil.
  • Jihadism - You're a mass-murdering psychopath who wants to tear Russia apart, slaughter Muslims en-masse, and are nothing more than an Atlanticist puppet! We buried you in Chechnya, we buried you in Syria, now to snuff you out for good!
  • İttihadism - Forget it, Enver. Turkestan will always be Russian. Turanism is a dead ideology and its remaining embers will be buried! Also, fuck you for killing millions of Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks, who are brothers of the Russian people.
  • Kemalism - On the one hand, you're not a Turanist like him. On the other hand, he may have killed more people, but he was also less liberal than you.
  • Tridemism - You're basically him but without the redeeming values. May he crush you one day!
  • Existentialist Anarchism - Degenerate Ancom who wants to tear Christianity apart... AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU READ HEIDEGGER AND FOLLOW HIS TEACHINGS?! GGGAAAAAHHHH!!!
  • Anarcho-Nihilism - You're the end product of modernist neoliberal dystopia, and yet instead of fighting the liberal system, you rage against everybody and everything. Go outside and clean your room already.
  • Anarcho-Capitalism - Just keep looking at the trading screen. There is nothing to worry about, all of your neighbors are doing fine.
    • Why is there a tank column outside?
  • Anarcho-Communism and Insurrectionary Anarchism- LUKASHENKO, DESTROY THESE TRAITORS NOW AND HAVE THEIR CORPSES SENT DOWN THE DNIEPER TO KIEV!
  • Ingsoc - We have ALWAYS been at war with Oceania!
  • Schwabism - The Atlanticist plan for the enslavement of humanity, YOU will own NOTHING!
  • Avaritionism - You psychotic freak! YOU ARE WORST RESULT OF LIBERAL VALUES AND INDIVIDUALISM!
    • I had always existed. You still understand nothing. I am not a liberal, or just an ordinary individualist or anarchist. I am desire, state of nature, chaotic and unpredictable. And I don't mean it metaphorically, or theoretically, or poetically or any other fancy way. I AM DESIRE, STRAIGHT UP.
