Fourth Theory

Fourth Theory is a reactionary,  authoritarian, and  economically third-positionist ideology that seeks to go beyond the 3 modern political theories,  Liberalism,  Communism and  Fascism. Fourth Theory deems that Liberalism and its associated  post-modernism have successfully defeated their 2 major political opponents ( Marxism–Leninism and  Fascism) and are currently destroying politics as a whole. So, therefore, it is necessary to combat liberalism with a fourth political theory, inspired by fringe ideas from communist and fascist movements, but rejecting the orthodoxy of both of them. Fourth Theory rejects the ideas that the main subject of politics is one of individualism,  class or  nation but one of Dasein, a concept of Heideggerian philosophy that roughly refers to the experience of being unique to humans. The Fourth Theory also wants and calls for a return to traditionalism and  theology, because it seeks to return to a set of values that oppose those of the current  liberal modernity.

[[File:Dugin.png]] Aleksandr Dugin
Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin is a  Russian political philosopher, analyst, and strategist known for his  anti-liberal, and  anti-western views. Aleksandr Dugin is believed to have close ties to Vladimir Putin's regime and influenced aspects of Putin's foreign policy over the past two decades.

In the 1980s, during the late days of the Soviet Union, Dugin was an  anti-communist dissident and worked as a  journalist before becoming involved in politics just before the fall of communism. In 1988, he and his friend Geydar Dzhemal joined the ultranationalist group Pamyat (Memory), which would later give rise to Russian fascism. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Dugin helped to write the political program for the newly reformed Communist Party of the Russian Federation under the leadership of Gennady Zyuganov.

Dugin published the book Foundations of Geopolitics in 1997 which has been used as a textbook in the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian military and is been by western analysts as the Russian version of Manifest Destiny. In Foundations of Geopolitics, Dugin calls for Russia to take back control over regions that once belonged to the former Russian Empire and unite Eurasia against  the US and  NATO and  liberal values.

Dugin supports Vladimir Putin and his foreign policies and "military operations" in Chechnya,  Georgia,  Syria, and  Ukraine (Although he believes that Putin hasn't gone far enough) but has opposed the Russian government's economic policies which he considers too  capitalist as he prefers a  corporatist economic model.

[[File:Euras.png]] Fourth Political Theory to Supersede the Three [[File:Lib.png]] [[File:ML.png]] [[File:Fash.png]]
Fourth Theory believes that there are three main political ideologies which are Liberalism,  Communism, and  Fascism. Liberal politics were based on individualism, Communist politics is based on class, while  Fascist politics was based on nation. Fourth Theory itself then believes to be itself a completely new ideology away from the orthodox three considering it as superceding the three. Thus Fourth Theory politics are based on what's known as Daesin also known as existence itself along with ethnos which is cultural phenomenon as a community of language, religious beliefs, daily life, and sharing of resources "as an organic entity."

[[File:Heidegger.png]] Dasein
Dasein is a concept and is one of the main ideas of Fourth Theory. Dasein goes back even before Dugin to Heideggerian (and Hegelian) philosophy. Dasein is basically translated to existence or presence and one experiences this Dasein by confronting personhood, morality, and the dilemma of being together with other relationships while still being alone in oneself or maintaining your single identity. Essentially, it's a weird version of individuality and consciousness put together as one along with the many paradoxes of life and the choices that are made to fulfill this Dasein.

[[File:AntiLibIcon.png]] Anti-Liberalism
Fourth Theory really hates liberalism and believes that Liberalism has beaten the other two ideologies,  Fascism and  Communism and as such now believes that liberal progress has started to go on a "moral genocide of the past". This thus makes Fourth Theory Reactionary. Fourth Theory even considers liberalism racist due to this "Moral genocide". As such Fourth Theory is supposedly gonna combat this by getting all three of the main ideologies and cleanse the bad parts (for example racism from fascism) while putting the positive qualities together.

[[File:Imp.png]] Foreign Policy [[File:Russian_Fascism.png]]
Probably the most well known and most understandable part of Fourth Theory is its imperialist foreign policy. Fourth Theory wants Russia to take back some of the lost Russian lands from the imperial era. Russia then supposedly unites Anti-Western Eurasian countries together in an allied effort to combat the liberal west. Due to this belief, it is often called "Russian Manifest Destiny" and evoke Russian chauvinism. This United Eurasia can be compared to as the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and is often seen as mostly just a justification for Russian Imperialism. Dugin himself used to be a fascist which's why Fourth Theory is considered a fascist ideology along with its reactionary views. Much of the Alt-Right are also attracted to the views of Dugin. It is rumored that Fourth Theory has been the one who influence Putin to invade Ukraine.

Personality
Similar to how Neoreactionarism is often portrayed as the  Alt-Right's more "intellectual" brother, Fourth Theory is also portrayed as  Nazbol's smarter, less GANG focused brother.

He's often calm enough towards other balls in spite of his litany of insults towards anything liberal, while his eccentric and anti-Western views make many balls hate him, with others taking him as an ally of convenience - which he reciprocates, allowing his hatred of the Western world to surpass any other hate he might feel towards them.

 * [[File:Chavismo.png]] Chavismo & [[File:Pron.png]] Peronism - Latin America needs to unify to achieve true sovereignty.
 * [[File:Showa-kanmuri.png]] Showa Statism - My most natural ally in East Asia. Unlike your [[File:3princ.png]] [[File:Dengf.png]] Chinese counterparts, you have never been friends with Atlanticism. (The Anglo-Japanese alliance doesn't count!) Thus, you would be perfect to counter American influence in the region. I may even consider giving the Kuriles back if you join me.
 * [[File:Kita.png]] Ikki Kita Thought - Even better than Showaism.
 * [[File:GenghisKhan.png]] Khanism - The Tatar yoke was not as bad as people usually think (or at least that's what Lev Gumilyov says).
 * [[File:Juche.png]] Juche - Best Korea!
 * [[File:Soc21.png]] Socialism of the 21st Century - Very based despite most of you being catholic. Also, Latuff has some based takes against libtards.

Frenemies

 * [[File:Fash.png]] Fascism - Some good ideas but you need to accept socialist economics!
 * [[File:ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - And you need to reject left-wing cultural positions!
 * [[File:Klep.png]] Kleptocracy - Putin is based for how he stands up to the West, but Western oligarchs still cringe.
 * [[File:Orth.png]] Orthodox Theocracy - The current Eastern Orthodox Church is cringe, but society still needs a religious revival.
 * [[File:Catheo.png]] Catholic Theocracy - The Catholic Church is a “natural ally” but I am not Catholic and in modern times you have connections to liberalism. At least you understand my daughter's death was a mistake.
 * [[File:JewTheo.png]] Jewish Theocracy - Honestly, I don't know what to say. On one hand, you're one of (((them))). But hey, maybe you can drop the Talmud and embrace a new tradition mixing the Torah with Kabballah. Then we'd be good. Or is that wishful thinking?
 * [[File:Lolbert.png]] Lolbert Useful Idiot - You are a variant of liberalism; that's stupid. Your isolationism allows me to conquer things unchecked, however, so you can be a useful idiot for my goals.
 * [[File:Plcn2.png]] Paleoconservatism - Your cultural policies are too moderate and why do you hate imperialism? You still would let me do conquests like lolbert, however, and unlike him, I think we could become allies against the [[File:Neocuckservative.png]] [[File:NeoLibtard.png]]Westoids[[File:Cuckservative.png]][[File:Proggtard.png]].
 * [[File:Plcn2.png]] - Nah, I don't care. All I want is to sit isolated and not trade one imperialist for another.
 * [[File:Archeofuturist.png]] Archeofuturism - You want a return to tradition as well. But stop with the transhumanist cr*p, and stop stealing my ideas. And your idea to unite Eurasia and North America betrays the very purpose of Eurasianism. We want to create a Eurasian big space to force the USA to finally leave Eurasia alone.
 * [[File:Bonaparte.png]] Bonapartism - On the one hand, you are a stupid enlightened liberal who fought against Russia. On the other hand, you wanted to build a monarchist, tellurocratic Eurasian empire. That was actually pretty based.
 * [[File:Nrx.png]] Neoreactionaryism - On one hand, you are often a stupid liberal, and many of your transhumanist ideas are dangerous. And Nick Lands' plans are outright disgusting. But often, your ideas are derived from the same sources as mine and you often have a certain respect for tradition.
 * [[File:Reactlib.png]] Liberalism 1.0 - You're a liberal, but you're the worst enemy of the limitless hedonism and total individualism of [[File:Pinkcap.png]] Liberalism 2.0, so you got my respect.
 * [[File:Antifa.png]] Anti-Fascism - Fascism is not cringe, but good job bashing libs. Please don't bash me first.
 * [[File:Posadist.png]] Posadism - Progressive transhumanist, but we both agree that dolphins will be philosophers.
 * [[File:Esofash.png]] Esoteric Fascism - You provided great info about ancient traditions and Catharism. But stop with the racism and Christianity bashing, that is not helpful.
 * [[File:Ottoman.png]] Neo-Ottomanism - I helped resolve that conflict between you and [[File:Putin.png]] Putin. You're also one of only a few countries that pay attention to me. But I won't count you as a friend until you become less like [[File:Ittihad.png]] him and more like [[File:Khom.png]] him. Also, stop being friends with [[File:Jihad.png]] this nut.
 * [[File:Dengf.png]] Dengism - You want a multipolar world led by a socialist too. That's based. But I won't count you among my friends until you break with the West completely. Don't hesitate because you're making so much money off selling cheap shit to them.
 * [[File:Trot.png]] Trotskyism - You have some good ideas, Anti-Liberalism is based, But can you tone it down with Permanent Revolution? You're acting like [[File:Necon.png]] him. Although they oppressed workers, but we need cooperate with [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]][[File:Putin.png]][[File:Baath.png]][[File:Lukash.png]][[File:Milosevic.png]][[File:Juche.png]][[File:Khom.png]][[File:Yanukovych.png]] them anyway because we need an alliance to oppose libtards. We're not trying to conquer the world but limit ourselves to Eurasia only, understand?
 * [[File:Altl.png]] Alt-Lite - Bannon likes me, but many of you are fake lib owners, for they ignore non-cultural libtard aspects, and sometimes hang out with [[File:Nalib.png]] [[File:Conlib.png]] [[File:Reactlib.png]] them if they fit culturally.
 * [[File:Altr.png]] Alt-Right - An improvement of the above but Spencer betrayed me for the Westoids.
 * [[File:Nazcapf.png]] National Capitalism - Hmm, the Wagner group is really good, but people like Videla, Banzer, Barbie, and Cao Ky all worked with neocucks. And a saboteur from the Azov regiment literally killed my daughter!
 * [[File:Putin.png]] Putinism - Your moves in Syria, Ukraine, Georgia and others are based but you are way too soft for me. It literally took you 17 years to do the first step of my plans and honestly they aren't as good as I want them to be. And don't forget about your past collaborations with the West.
 * [[File:Authcap.png]] Authoritarian Capitalism - Russian oligarchs and Milosevic are based, but many of your variants are US-backed puppet states.
 * [[File:Socauth.png]] Social Authoritarianism - Lukashenko and Schroder are great people, but Thaksin is a cuck.

 * [[File:Liberalconservative.png]] Liberal Conservatism - Fake conservative that only serves the principles of liberalism! But Berlusconi is good diplomatically
 * [[File:Soclib.png]] Social Liberalism - You also must go!
 * [[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - Same as above. I don't know why [[File:ML.png]] he calls you a social fascist.
 * [[File:Nazi.png]] Nazism - While grouping people based on race is amazing, you still slaughtered millions of Soviets! I don't know why [[File:Nazbol.png]] dad likes you so much. And there is nothing wrong with race mixing. Although we wouldn’t have gotten the Dasein without Heidegger, who was a member of your ranks.
 * [[File:Strasser.png]] Strasserism - Fuck you Strasser, you are a pan-european retard who want to destroy glorious Russia!!!
 * [[File:Necon.png]] Neoconservatism - Your warmongering imperialism has destroyed so many lives and your obsession with forcing American culture on the rest of the world is disgusting. Eastern Europe and the Middle East are in ruins because of you. What exactly are you conserving, to begin with? Screw you, Bush! Although I have to admit that I am an [[File:Imp.png]] imperialist, myself.
 * [[File:3way.png]] Third Way - Are you not just [[File:Necon.png]] Neoconservatism again? Fuck you, Clinton and Obama!
 * [[File:Pinkcap.png]] Pink Capitalism - The worst mutation of liberalism possible.
 * [[File:Hcon.png]] LGBT Conservatism [[File:Homocon.png]] - The worst variant of conservatism in the world.

 * [[File:Kahan.png]] Kahanism - "Greater Israel?" Fuck you!
 * [[File:Esosoc.png]] Esoteric Socialism - A great example of an esoteric ideology that is genuinely and diametrically OPPOSED to us (although the economics and Gumilyov are based).
 * [[File:Prog-u.png]] Progressivism - The worst possible expression of Liberalism.
 * [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] Revolutionary Progressivism - This is even worse than above! Are you insane?!
 * [[File:Illum.png]] Illuminatism - Jean Parvulesco showed me that you are the ones controlling the USA and Great Britain. And you are probably an ancient Seth-worshipping cabal who already corrupted Atlantis.
 * [[File:Transh.png]] Transhumanism - You will be humanity's self-destruction and you are the end point of modernity and the ultimate evil.
 * [[File:Jihad.png]] Jihadism - You're a mass-murdering psychopath who wants to tear Russia apart and kill everybody who doesn't agree with you. You're also a puppet of the Atlanticists. We will bury you!
 * [[File:Ittihad.png]] İttihadism - Forget it, Enver. Turkestan will always be Russian. Also, fuck you for killing millions of Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks, who are brothers of the Russian people.
 * [[File:Kemal.png]] Kemalism - Same as above but even worse. [[File:Ittihad.png]] He may have killed more people, but he was also less liberal.
 * [[File:3princ.png]] Tridemism - You're basically [[File:Dengf.png]] him but without the redeeming values. May he crush you one day!
 * [[File:European Federalism.png]] European Federalism - I will destroy you, you f*cking European Libtards. You're also a puppet of the USA.

 * [[File:Ingsocf.png]] Ingsoc - Weirdo who always has been at war with Eurasia.
 * [[File:WEF.png]] Schwabism - Come out of your Davos fortress and fight me! Our duel for the fate of the world will go down in history!
