    "Liberalism give us the freedom to be liberal and takes away the freedom to be illiberal." This is expressed by my peers by the admonition to "be intolerant to intolerance." The misstep here is that intolerance toward intolerance denies that there may be circumstances and contexts in which intolerance is perfectly appropriate. Unnecessarily dangerous or unsafe behavior, drug abuse, sex with and sexualization of minors, etc. The list is actually quite long. The better formulation is to discern what types of attitudes, moral sentiments and actions are necessary in every context- a much more demanding project, which is why it's eschewed for a low-resolution rubric of so-called militant tolerance.

    He is not referring to broad political theories. This man’s English is not the greatest, requiring knowledge of the issues he discusses as well as some intuition as to what he is trying to say. If you listen closely, he expresses the idea that liberalism has changed, or more accurately, that a core has emerged, like a Trojan Horse. When he speaks of the difference between “liberalism” and “modernity”, modernity being the cult of the individual, modernity is progressivism. He is referring to the progressive delusions of people like Woodrow Wilson, and post-war globalists including Neocons, who yearn for the dominance of Western ideas, institutions, and ultimately social norms worldwide, seeking to subjugate all who resist. He doesn’t say “there is no major government today that is not liberal”, which is objectively false, he suggests liberalism is on the path to dominance, which is valid though still questionable. You will notice he mentions Francis Fukuyama, a pre-eminent neocon. Neocons are the quintessential modernists of which he speaks, supporting liberal social policy as well as well as classical liberal, aka neoliberal economic policy. The worst of both worlds. As for your assertion that I am a centrist whose take away is that progressivism is bad, yes! You are correct. And yet I am not against progressivism in the old-school sense of basic rights and safety nets. I am against it in the sense of the cult of the individual, where each identity can essentially create their own society within society, using coercion to force acceptance. There cannot be an endless multitude of arbitrary systems. The end result will be a brutal backlash against the interlopers, or dissolution and collapse.

    Liberalism as it is practiced in the United States and other western countries contains a deep contradiction. On one hand, it is humanitarian, concerned with human rights and democracy, with gender and racial equality. But the real economic/political dynamism of American-style liberalism is predatory capitalism, which flattens everything in its path. So, we have the impoverishment of the US working classes, "race" war on the physical as well as cultural level, and the undermining of America's educational, healthcare and physical infrastructure in the name of bigger profits for the biggest corporations. Economic inequality will destroy liberalism, NOT Alex. Dugin's ideas.

    Yes. I agree. When something seems to don't work, people usually wants to destroy it, when a better solution is to improve it, since the current state of things was born to solve past problems. Destroying the current state of things opens the doors to old dangers that have been already solved. For me, the opinion of trying to destroy something just because it's imperfect and is going to the wrong path is a mistake, and I think this mistake is rooted on psychological lazyness: it's easier to build something new, because trying to understand the problem is harder. Destroying doesn't require understanding, while improving does.

    Agreed. Individual freedom must be restricted not just by that of other individuals but also by a safety net that ensures that losers do not go down below a certain human standard and that they have an opportunity to rise. But human rights, a notion arisen from the hard lessons of history, can only be enforced within liberal regimes. Any collectivist regime crushes individuals or colectivities that challenge it.

    Liberalism's troubling present manifestation is in child sexual "liberation" in the form of allowing children (generally via propaganda) to make decisions such as receiving sexual augmentation before they can even grasp the concept in any meaningful way.

The people doing evil things under the banner of liberalism are not true liberals and would ultimately corrupt its meaning like what was done to socialism and communism which where paraded as such but actually tended to totalitarianism.

    @HeerKommando How do you define 'superiority'? People tend to believe that their OWN culture is superior, no matter from where they come. This is a natural extension of their egoism. Haven't you noticed? Chinese think that their way is best. They point to their long history and feel entitled to bully others because of their great demographic weight. Indigenous people in my country think that their way is best, no two ways about; they hate and blame Western culture for their sufferings. And so on. To be sure, I don't agree with their perspective. I am not some kind of cultural masochist who only wishes to knock down his own. But 'the West' is not an entity which developed separately, without relation to any other culture. Nor is it a singular and uniform entity. And it shares many flaws in common with others in the same category, because human nature is remarkably consistent across cultures. No highly influential culture is self-contained. And you must admit the importance of CHRISTIANITY to the development of Western culture! Christianity would not exist apart from its Hebraic roots. You should read the Bible and find out. At the same time, Christianity is NOT LIMITED to the West, for Christ's mission to the world is universal. God's Word stands in judgment over ALL human culture. Read Romans chapters 1-3 in the New Testament and find out. For example: (Romans 1:18) 'For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness....' (Romans 3:23) 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.'

    Joe Essig I'm not American but a northern neighbor, and I don't know much about your 'founding fathers'. Yet your central point makes a lot of sense. I am glad that you acknowledge the 'religiosity' of American liberalism as well as its dominance in American political thought, regardless how Americans choose to LABEL themselves. (Dugin is good with labels within the 'conservative' spectrum, but utterly careless in lumping all 'liberals' together. The bogeyman must not be examined too carefully, lest he fall apart.) Now by 'religious' one does not necessarily imply 'Christian'. For deism was quite popular among intellectuals of the Enlightenment period. I know that Thomas Jefferson was heterodox, for he chopped out parts of the Bible which he didn't like. This shows irreverence and not just selectivity. Those self-styled 'liberals' who equate secularism with agnosticism or atheism are off the mark, and desperately misinterpret 'separation of Church and State'. Indeed I would argue that Church and State were ordained by God for entirely separate purposes, and were never meant to be fused. 'Church' does not refer to 'religious institutions' in general, or even specific denominations, but to the universal body of believers in Jesus Christ throughout the ages. It is an eternal community, whereas the State is a temporal institution. Indeed Europeans who had suffered by the imposition of State religion often found solace on this side of the 'pond'. Contrary to what the hyper-secularists say, separation of Church and State helps preserve the Church from the corruption that excessive involvement with State would bring, more than the other way around. Two problems remain however. One has to do with 'civil religion'. States have an unfortunate way of imposing dominant ideologies on their people, using ceremonies with a 'religious' flavor and often invoking the name of God. When Nation becomes equal to or greater than God in the sight of the people, it is a sure sign of IDOLATRY. Did you ever read Harvey Cox, 'The Secular City' (1965)? In it he discusses the prevalence of 'civil religion' in America AND concurrently in the Soviet Union, with its 'religion' of Marxism-Leninism. The other problem has to do with governmental favoritism in religion which is politically motivated. In Canada, special privileges were accorded to the Catholic church since Confederation, as a concession. These have remained in place for 150 years. Although not alone, the Catholic church was used as a sort of club against the Native population, through the system of residential schools by which children were forcibly removed from their families. A great deal of abuse took place, and consequently the name of Christ was dishonored among the Native population.

    @@Orthodoge You are completely on point in your first statement. Deism was a popular doctrine among intellectuals of the Enlightenment period. On the second point, I would argue that State authority is by its very nature secular (of this world). God ordained the Church as an eternal institution, and according to Romans 13:1 ff., governmental authority as a provisional measure for the ordering of human society. In the immediate context, Christians had to deal with a temporal authority (imperial Rome) which was not exactly friendly. Therefore I would argue that Church and State were inherently separate from the beginning. Theocracy is our ideal as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we shall have it when He comes again. The Law of Moses might be conceived as a blueprint for theocratic government, but the Israelites were unwilling and ultimately unable to bear its demands. Paul says that the Law is a tutor to lead us to Christ. It reveals our inadequacy, our sinful nature. Has not the Church defiled itself at times by excessive preoccupation with secular affairs at the expense of its true ministry of preaching the Gospel to the world? Think of the abuses of the Roman Catholic church, which behaved very much as a temporal authority in medieval Europe, or as a close ally of temporal authority during European colonization of foreign lands. Certainly states which promote atheism as part of a dominant ideology have done tremendous damage. However atheism is a dry-as-dust religion in itself, not very inspiring for the masses. I am not worried about religion PER SE being drowned out. Ultimately, whoever is not for Christ is against Him. Therefore the primary task of the Church in this age is preaching of the Gospel (see Matthew 28:19-20). One also hopes that the Church may speak prophetically on issues of the day, as did the Hebrew prophets of old. In that casea certain distance from secular authority may be required.

At they very least this is my subjective impression. Jesus would NOT agree with your statement that truth is subjective, therefore I would not either, because I take His word as authoritative: (John 14:6) 'I am the way, and the TRUTH, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.'

    Liberalism is just one giant contradiction. As Dugin points out "When liberalism is compared to itself, it becomes totalitarian. It begins to show its inner negativity and it begins to manifest its totalitarian nature." The fundamental question you should pose to any liberal, is this dilemma. Should liberalism stay consistent with it's professed value of freedom of thought by having thought and speech be totally unrestricted in every sense, but risk liberalism losing because of this? Or, should liberalism contradict itself and oppress illiberalism in the name of self-preservation? It doesn't matter which one they pick, either way, liberalism loses.

Authoritarianism doesnt even consider them in the first place, so that's why I'm very "pro west", we at least have a chance and challenge to uphold people's rights.

There are others like traditionalism, conservatism, libertarian-ism and various combinations of them and probably a host of other political systems I've never heard of. In fact he seemed to imply that communism and fascism were older alternatives but that he rejected them as failed alternatives and is proposing his 4th political theory. This video didn't cover that theory in any detail and I've no idea what it is. Perhaps you already know and are critical of it, but it's hard to tell from your post.

    There is an obsession of a conspiratorial nature to attack liberalism to the point of absurdity. From the shadows in the farthest corners and crawling up from the most remote and isolated mountain crevices, figures from the past appear. Figures that make a final lunge against what we in the democratic world call freedom. This approach described originates from an inability (unwillingness?) to understand the essence of the good intentions of liberalism. Therefore, the problem of societal transformation is highlighted as a counterargument against liberalism. This is in contrast to seeing the problem as part of a maturation process. A process where humanity strives for a symbiosis between intellect and empathy. It means that what is making good life for me will make it good for you and where personal development is characterized by a belief in human goodness as a unit of human completion that can be felt and experienced by everyone without having to measure it and without doubting that feeling.

    It sounds more like a attempt to recontextualize the meaning of freedom and the capacity to develop individual autonomy of thinking. If you define that there's no universal law you are automatically allowed to cross barriers of individuality of any being. Limit the concept and meaniing of freedom into a etnic or social culture is failure and vague. Olavo de Carvalho refuted his arguments already and turrned it into a book.

    I think his statement that liberalism compared to itself appears totalitarian is interesting but not the knockdown argument he presents it to be. What he means to say is that the current liberal order does not live up to its own standards i.e. being against coercion, and expanding freedom. This is true but I think a shrewd and intelligent liberal observer might retort simply by saying that this is not the fault of liberalism as philosophical thought per se, but the imperfect implementation of it. Furthermore, freedom conceptualized principally as individual is not the totality of liberalism. The problem is that Dugin cannot recognize that liberalism encompasses a broad range of traditions and approaches, not all of them being primarily about an obsession with the atomized self. Freedom of religion in liberal thought seeks to protect individuals AND communities from arbitrary oppression. Dugin and other anti-liberals tend to argue against liberalism by pulling the rug out underneath, so to speak, and demonstrating it's hypocrisy and being uncommitted to the values it purports to be in favor of. But I wonder if such a critique can be advanced without inadvertently assenting to those same principles e.g. liberalism is bad because it isn't liberal. You're taking the very normative standards you're supposedly against and using them to undercut your opponent, while maintaining that those same values (once again that you're supposedly against) would best flower under a different regime. Finally, my biggest problem with anti-liberals is that in the end they themselves are the biggest liberals around. By this I mean that they lament the individualism of modernity or liberalism and in an attempt to move beyond it take the very same ontological rubric of the individual and superimpose it onto the "nation," the "culture," or "race" turning this large collectives of people into one big liberal individual. As Heidegger said of schmitt I say of anti-liberals: they still think like liberals.

    Diversity of Moderation & Moderation of Diversity. Buddha said it best: Everything in Moderation. And my improvement: Even Moderation itself. The issue with contemporary liberalism (as I see it) is its a static set of ideals. Dugin maybe arguing for dynamic liberalism that is constantly striving against itself, re-interpreting, re-configuring based on time, place & culture - where there is place for rejecting static liberalism. Static liberalism is just another centralized singular philosophy. Dynamic liberalism is multi-faceted, distributed multiple philosophies.

    @@rickrollone1410 I see what you're trying to say, however I think what limits dugin and other anti-liberal thinkers is precisely the fact that they think of themselves in terms of "anti"-Liberalism. Meaning, as I see it, that they're possible range of alternatives to contemporary society is limited to their oppositionality. I'm not sure liberalism has an empty set of ideals. I think it has clear recognizable ideals, the issue is that the protagonists of its philosophy present it as if it were an empty canvas ready to painted by any particular culture regardless of time and place. It sees itself as ideology-less ideology. The reaction to it by antiliberals is precisely that it's hypocritical and does not cultivate a garden of diversity, rather it insidiously demands conformity. A dynamic liberalism isn't the solution, nor is antiliberalism. Whenever a manner of thinking emerges that does not take as axiomatic its rejection of liberalism, but rather recognizes that it simply lacks its content then we will a movement beyond it. The Buddha is perennially insightful.

    Plato believed the way, political and social, to universal human truth and better living was only through freely dialoguing, or dialectical practice, or inquiry -- thus opening the door to pragmatic sciences, and capitalist competition between families and companies, and federal democracy, and checks and balances, and constitutionalism. This is precisely and all that American liberalism was, is, and always will be, and it stands against eons of ubiquitous unitary tyranny. Everything negative Aleksandr attributes to American liberalism here is precisely those points where Soviet Stalinism subverted classical American ideology. Plato would've thought the notion of a specifically 'national truth' to be an oxymoronic absurdity that is against philosophy. Russian territories are so historically and culturally impoverished. There may be no moves left on the board except to capture the current czar and all his bishops, so the pawns have a chance to really and finally experience classical liberalism precisely outside of the monstrous shadow of Russian autocracy, backward Narodist collectivism, and Stalinist compulsive paranoia and total subversion. There is enlightenment in the west beyond these appallingly tiny thought-prisons. I can't emphasize enough that modern westerners look upon nationalism with pity, literally as a form of mental retardation.

This thinker relies on a convoluted mystification. He sees himself as a singular truth teller. But it smacks of the work of a narcissistic autodidact. Oh how I would love to watch alive take down of this guy by Isaiah Berlin. IIsaiah Berlin in his "The Hedgehog and the Fox" -referring to a fragment of the ancient Greek poet Archilochus - distinguishes two types of thinkers: hedgehogs, who view the world through the lens of a single defining idea (examples given include Plato), and foxes, who draw on a wide variety of experiences and for whom the world cannot be boiled down to a single idea (examples given include William Shakespeare: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy". Hamlet 1.5 167-168). Here we have another Russian hedgehog! But compared with the great hedgehogs of the past: Plato, Hegel, Marx, he is a shallow thinker whose dangerous verbiage fills a shelf-full of books. But his autodidacticism shows through in the sources he relies on. Many are third rate fascists and German proto Nazis. His reading is incontinent.

And no, marx's ideas do not challenge Liberalism any more because modern Marxists are a bunch of pathetic, weak pussies. They are not militant revolutionaries anymore (at least in the west).

    He overlooks the evolution of individual freedom and the social philosophical concepts governing human development historically being a byproduct of technological advancement. With each great advancment has come greater individual freedom throughout much of the world whether it was in agriculture (end of serfdom) or Industrialization (smaller families via contraception) in urban settings. One could argue that Soviet Union was a victim of it's own success as it had harnessed the power of the collective we, an ancient formula tweaked under Marxism, to achieve First World parity. Dugin envisions social stagnation that ignores development in which power structures are eternal by Divine Right. As we enter the era of automation & AI one could argue, aside from the consumption side of economics, that smaller populations due to family planning, abortion, homosexuality, abstaining from marriage can be justified. In Dugin's world nothing changes in the World Island as we are slaves to conservative traditionalism regardless of economic system.
