Fascism is actually a pretty solid political ideology if you can manage to overcome the prejudice built up through decades of deliberate and systemic demonization.

I wish Trump drones had Dugin's wit and learning.

This is worth reading.

Just finished reading Political Platonism by Dugin. A short text 116 p. Strong recommend for anons interested in 4thPT, illiberal theory, Heidegger, 'philosophy is over,' or Plato, Heraclitus, Logos, Chaos. Very readable, difficulties come from advanced concepts not translation issues, Millerman and O'Conaill have done well. Dugin covers critique of democracy, what 'Political Platonism' is, Traditionalism, Neo-Platonism, Noomachy, the Apollo/Dionysus/Cybele complex (briefly), a theory of society/volk/dasein/the hero, and invites us to take Chaos seriously. Left me with a thirst for more.

>interested, what do i need to have read first?
A basic grounding in Plato. Without at least being acquainted with the theory of forms/eidos, you'll probably be lost.
A basic grounding in Heidegger. Without at least being acquainted with the concept of Dasein, you'll probably be lost.
(optional) A little Greek Mythology/Philosophy wouldn't hurt.

Youtube video essays on these subjects would be enough to get you in on the first floor of this book but it would be a good idea to take it slow.
