'The Era Of The West's Sole Hegemony Has Ended'
On March 1, 2024, Memri translated Aleksandr Dugin's speech at the International Russophile Movement:[4],[5]
- On February 26, 2024, renowned anti-liberal Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin spoke at the Second Congress of the International Russophile Movement (IMR) and the Forum on Multipolarity in Moscow. The event at the Lomonosov Innovation Centre of Moscow State University brought together foreign delegates from more than 130 countries. The event was attended by Russian government officials, political and public figures, and representatives of science and culture. Among the Russian speakers, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, political philosopher Alexander Dugin, and the chairman of the media group Tsargrad Konstantin Malofeev who is also the head of the World Russian People's Council. It is worth noting that on February 27, 2024, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov took part in the opening ceremony of the 2nd Congress of the International Russophile Movement in Moscow.
- One of the most acclaimed speeches was Dugin's, in which he stated that the multipolar world is "primarily a philosophy." "In this world, there are only Western values. Only one political system – liberal democracy. Only one economic model – neoliberal capitalism. Only one culture – postmodernism. Only one conception of genders and family – LGBT. Only one version of development – technological perfection up to post-humanism and the complete displacement of humanity by AI and cyborgs... Multipolarity is an alternative philosophy. It is based on the fundamental objection: the West is not all of humanity but only a part of it – a region, a province. It is not the civilization in the singular, but one of several civilizations," Dugin said.
Dugin's Speech
"Multipolarity Stands In Opposition Not To The West Itself But Specifically To The West's Claims Of Uniqueness And Universality"
- "The multipolar world is primarily a philosophy. At its core lies a critique of Western universalism.
- "The West has racistly and imperialistically identified itself with humanity. There was a time when Britain claimed all seas and oceans as its own. Western civilization declared all of humanity its property – primarily its consciousness. This led to the formation of a unipolar world.
- "In this world, there are only Western values. Only one political system – liberal democracy. Only one economic model – neoliberal capitalism. Only one culture – postmodernism. Only one conception of genders and family – LGBT. Only one version of development – technological perfection up to post-humanism and the complete displacement of humanity by AI and cyborgs.
- "According to its proponents, the unipolar world is the 'triumph of world history', the total victory of the modern Western era – liberalism, which has become the sole and indisputable ideology of all humanity.
- "Multipolarity is an alternative philosophy. It is based on the fundamental objection: the West is not all of humanity but only a part of it – a region, a province. It is not the civilization in the singular, but one of several civilizations. There are at least seven such civilizations today – hence the most important concept of the multipolar theory – the heptarchy.
- "Some civilizations are already united into huge continental States, civilization-states, or wénmíng guójiā (文明国家). For others, this is yet to come. The collective West, NATO countries, and vassals of the USA are just one of the poles.
- "Three more are:
- -Russia-Eurasia,
- -Great China (Zhōngguó 中国) or Tiānxià (天下)
