i might put pic rel on this (completely arbitrary) list as well. spengler's whole argument about the process by which a culture metastazises into a civilization - quality into quantity - is all a part of this.

but the idea would be a kind of resistance towards the idea of seduction or any kind of mass-movement sentimentality. capital gonna capital, but communism and fascism are both forms of reactivity towards a concept of economics that ultimately prolongs itself ad infinitum into wasteland theology, 'hauntology' and the rest. that haunting will never end. you wind up like derrida that way.

and it's not like derrida was a bad dude or anything. he wasn't. he figured out some crazy important stuff. foucault also. but sometimes i just feel like the winds are shifting, somehow. and that there is no mass political movement under the sun that cannot eventually become something totalitarian in the long run.

dystopianism or dystopiology would be things worth thinking about. it's not like going back to primitive society is the way to go either.

i did find dugin's 4PT interesting, if only because he seemed to find a role for eurasia in a new world order as being a kind of pan-religious sphere, this place that says, anyone with a tragic cyclical view of history is welcome here. that's pretty innovative.

i will, however, stand by an earlier forecast that sometime in the next ten or fifteen years some analogue of dugin will be shot by james bond.
