My comment was geared towards the observation that the author of this dreck, Alexander Dugin, whoever he is, is a retard for using that sentence, which is wholly inaccurate hyperbole, along with most of the rest of that diatribe.

Yep. His assumptions and premises are garbage. Why would I put any trust in his analysis and conclusions?
He is a proto-fascist Russian nationalist who is very popular among the pro-Putin club, even though his daughter was killed "playing with hand grenades" to use Putin's terminology.
"In 1980, Dugin joined the "Yuzhinsky circle [ru]", an avant-garde dissident group which dabbled in Satanism, esoteric Nazism and other forms of the occult.[28][29][30] In the group, he was known for his embrace of Nazism which he attributes to a rebellion against his Soviet raising, as opposed to genuine sympathy for Hitler.[31] He adopted an alter ego with the name of "Hans Sievers", a reference to Wolfram Sievers, a Nazi researcher of the paranormal.[32]"
" In 1988, he and his friend Geydar Dzhemal joined the ultranationalist and antisemitic group Pamyat (Memory),[26] which would later give rise to Russian fascism.[39] For a brief period at the beginning of the 1990s he was close to Gennady Zyuganov, leader of the newly formed Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and probably had a role in formulating its nationalist communist ideology.[35][40] In 1993 he co-founded, together with Eduard Limonov, the National Bolshevik Party, whose nationalistic interpretation of Bolshevism was based on the ideas of Ernst Niekisch."
"Dugin disapproves of liberalism and the West, particularly US hegemony.[16] He asserts: "We are on the side of Stalin and the Soviet Union".[46] "
