Does your idiocy know no end and your decency know no beginning? Do you even know what “bolshevik” means? Here’s a clue: it translates as “majority”. Dugin’s “bolshevism” has nothing to do with the “bolshevism” of, say, Lenin. So, what does Dugin think? Here’s an excerpt from a Huffpo article to help you out:

“In Russia, there is a man named Aleksandr Dugin. Mr. Dugin is a political theorist and “philosopher,” and rather unusual man, with some very unusual ideas, influenced by weird myths and fascist philosophers from the early 1900s. For example, he believes in a mythology that tens of thousands of years ago there were two ancient civilizations, one called Atlantis, and one called Hyperborea. (Scientifically, these never existed, they are just myths.)

Mr. Dugin believes that the values of Atlantis were individualism, human rights, reason, science, cooperation, and order, and ultimately, things fundamentally grounded in an earthly existence, whereas the Hyperboreans had access to divine knowledge and a mysticism beyond the limits of this mere planet. Dugin believes that Atlantis and Hyperborea were engaged in an ancient war over their totally different value sets and that this war continues to this day. In today’s geography, Dugin associates the modern day Atlantean societies as the United States and those countries under its influence, and he associates Hyperborean society as being led today by Russia, and including Asian countries in touch with spiritualism, like Iran and India.

Dugin believes that it is the ultimate theological destiny of Russia to lead modern day Hyperborean societies — including not only Russia, but all of Eurasia, from Korea to India to Portugal — away from a corrupt earthly existence and back to the pure, divine spiritual knowledge of the original Hyperboreans, resulting in the end of our world and the transformation of humanity to a divine existence. (Yes, you read that right — he wants Russia to bring about the end of the world, in pursuit of the spiritual transformation of all of society).”

Does that sound anything like a version of Marxism to you? If you think so, you know nothing of Marx. Dugin is a mystical kook, and he has no serious influence in Russia (he no more influences Putin than Billy Graham influenced Richard Nixon). His books are read in some universities, but many, many books are read in philosophy classes. Neither Dugin nor his daughter have any ability to “destroy America”, and if you think harboring hostile thoughts against the USA merits being murdered, you are a headcase.

So Comrade Achilles, you're going to play word games with the word "Bolshevik" now? You're actually claiming that it doesn't mean what we all know it means?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, Dugin has also unapologetically called himself a "National Socialist."
