To date, I, personally, have not seen anything particularly wise or interesting coming from Dugin. But since Ricardo posted this video, it is worth thinking about. A world of well-defined empires would resemble the 19th Century to some extent. I imagine each empire would have to be more responsive to its citizenry, while inter-empire politics would rely on 20th Century ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ (MAD). MAD is a semi-stable world order, a semi-stasis of KOBK global game theory. This state of affairs, assuming non-violent or low violence to get there, would probably be better than any form of one-world government, which would always be susceptible to overweening conformity, mind-control, totalitarian abuse of individuals. I fear the left much more than the right, based on historical precedents. I have not yet watched the Dugin video above but plan to. It may change my views on him or what I say here. Notice, I am not shilling for empire, I am simply saying what is obvious — that KOBK game theory is real with potentially horrific outcomes. Any decent stasis is better than mutual destruction of the whole world. ABN
