Koniuszewski: 4th position?

myslpolska.info 2 years ago

The past century – following Dugin's analysis – was characterised by the conflict of 3 large European systems: socialism, fascism and liberal democracy. All 3 complained to their omnipotence and full nature.

Eventually, the first 2 lost historically to the third, but he is now in a deep deadlock, and possibly even this regression is simply a symptom and its full fall. So what we see is simply a large ideological rubble, an unbroken sea, all the way to the horizon. But the world, especially the white man, without organizing his life with a full set of principles, patterns, and views, cannot exist.

So, something fresh must arise in this historical battleground. But what? How will this building be erected? On what foundations and who will do so? due to the fact that it can't be that something comes from nothing, being born as if by itself – these remains of these fallen structures, which are inactive valuable, will be utilized for the construction, showing their usefulness. And this is briefly called the 4th position. Let us consider these issues. First, a first objection or possibly just a small doubt. Is specified an indeterminate projection not besides mechanistic and yet utopian? We don't know that. Who will be called to defuse, and most importantly, who will appoint these working forces? How will they be organized? etc. However, it is essential to agree that (as we have noticed) nothing arises from it and everything draws from the past. That's for sure.

The general thought is so right and well established. The reflection erstwhile made by Nietzsche about the continuing return of the same should besides be supported. This discovery – unless it is trivialized to the east prayer, for example, from the inspiration of Buddhism – is acceptable to us to any extent. But there's something missing. What? It seems that the fall of these 3 competing ways of organizing human associations may be due to the fact that they actually all disputed the value of religion. They arose in deep opposition, not only to various Christian rites and full confessions, but declared the death of God himself. And against external manifestations in the fight against the thought of the world's globalisation, liberal democracy has gone the farthest. For she killed the human soul in the highest degree.

One would like to say that yet and irrevocably, doing so calmly, but highly methodically. If that is the case, then should another strategy trust on the renaissance of religion and the return of religion, as an organized institution—a corporation? And although experience teaches that there are no repetitions, it is certain for any Christian obeditions. The most likely renewal of influence is Orthodox. There is simply a kind of alliance of the throne with the altar already practiced. On a modest scale, but still.

Perhaps in Moscow it was recognized that there would be no revival of civilization without incorporating religion into a fresh era. Euroasianism is not enough. Catholicism in turn inactive has a unique institution of Papacy. As long as it continues, everything is not lost. Only Protestantism does not stand a chance, and following this besides democratically-liberal civilization? What, then, can result? Or is it that any elements that stay after Fascism (Italian) and Socialism, and the orderly practice of faith, can consequence in something more lasting and future?
