&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;malign sovereign&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, also known as a &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;gangsta king&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;, is a sovereign who is unable to substantiate their rule using the modern form of political metaphysics. A malign sovereignty is a state which is seen as illegitimate &amp;#039;&amp;#039;in the eyes of the modern universal state&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A malign sovereignty is a schism following the fall of traditional sovereignty, the schism being between malign sovereignty itself and the modern universal state. Modern subjectivity represents the edge of modern politics, over which spills malign sovereignty. It is the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;excess&amp;#039;&amp;#039; beyond the bounds of political modernity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The malign sovereign represents Hegel’s master/slave dialectic by standing up to the master (the unipolar order of the modern bourgeoisie) and being unwilling to submit and become the slave. It also represents, more importantly, in modern politics those who do not align themselves with the sovereignty of the Hobbesian “Leviathan”, which emerges from the “War of All Against All”, in which individuals are simply self-interested-- they kill each other over differing self-interests but then realize it is easier to submit to the most powerful person in order to safeguard a bare minimum of security and rights. This “Hobbesian sovereignty” forms the basic metaphysics of the modern universal state,  which, from this, also rest on notions of “human rights”, liberty, general will, social contract theory, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Malign sovereignty can be seen as the antithesis to Marx’s “ideology of the ruling class”, that is, the malign sovereign’s rule is a response to the dominant ideology of the West, which comes from its ruling class. A malign sovereign rules without submission to modern universal statists. It circumvents the Western universal political metaphysics of organizations such as the U.S. government, NATO, the European Union, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Economic Forum (WEF), Western monopolists, the UN (to some extent), the American deep state, and others who are oriented toward a global unipolar system. These sovereigns are treated as “uncivilized” or “backwards” (today they are often called “authoritarian” as well as “fascist”) for denying the legitimacy of the modern form of politics and Karl Popper’s “Open Society”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The malign sovereign is what “polarizes” individuals who do not align with the unipolar order. No longer is the reason a simple criminal self-interest, as is the case with Hobbes-- the “polarization” is artificial,  unnatural. The malign sovereign “polarizes” individuals (with “fake news”) to become “criminals”. For example, you may have heard someone say “Trump is a criminal &amp;#039;&amp;#039;because&amp;#039;&amp;#039; he is being bribed by Russia”, or “Haz is a sellout &amp;#039;&amp;#039;because&amp;#039;&amp;#039; he is on China’s payroll”. These claims are retrocausal, as they presuppose a “polarity” to which one’s self-interest is “polarized” or “tuned” &amp;#039;&amp;#039;prior to&amp;#039;&amp;#039; the consideration of self-interest. With this in mind, “socialized malignity”-- simple, one-sided, and entirely malign states-- can be established, and thus labeled “malign sovereignties”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical examples of malign sovereigns include Genghis Khan, the “Oriental” dynastic gunpowder &amp;amp; land empires of the East (Han, Tang, Song, Qing dynasties, etc.), the tyranny of the “dark ages” (i.e. the ancien, or obsolete regime; feudalism, from which the modern bourgeoisie &amp;amp; modern politics grew, and thus had a sore spot prodded when Robespierre resurrected its malignity &amp;#039;&amp;#039;en espirit&amp;#039;&amp;#039; viz. the French Revolution), while contemporary examples include Bashar al Assad, Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Nicolas Maduro, Hugo Chavez, Muammar Gaddafi, Ruhollah Khomeini, Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega, Robert Mugabe, and Alexander Lukashenko, and others. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Malign sovereignty is what animates the partisan, who exists outside the political spectrum, to become a revolutionary, or a “partisan irregular warrior”, who seeks “left-wing” revolutionary change but is coded as “right-wing” for forcing the “modern order” to adjust to the telluric, material order of rural life. The ultimate polarity or malign sovereignty is in the “Partisan Empire”, or the land empires of lost Mongol modernity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Malign sovereignty is a concept at the heart of MAGA Communism. MAGA Communism takes MAGA to be the partisan movement developing a malign sovereignty in the homeland of modern bourgeois politics, the U.S. It is establishing a left-wing partisanship (for &amp;#039;&amp;#039;authentic change&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) against the preservation of the capitalist status-quo from the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;superfluous change&amp;#039;&amp;#039; initiated by leftists.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
