Dugin got his start in politics as an anti-communist activist in the Soviet Union during the 1980s. After the USSR dissolved, he founded the National Bolshevik Party with Eduard Limonov, which he later left. Following his leaving the NBP, he developed neo-Eurasianism and founded the Eurasia Party in 2002. He also developed the Fourth Political Theory, which was laid out in his 2009 book of the same name.
Dugin is widely characterized as a fascist by Leftists, which has been thoroughly debunked by Haz and other Dugin scholars.[1][2]
Contribution to Marxism-Leninism[edit | edit source]
According to Haz Al-Din, the thought of Dugin, along with that of Heidegger, is required for having a non-metaphysical understanding of Marx in the West. This is most thoroughly explored in Haz's Twitter thread and Substack "Marxism is Not Woke".[3]
