The thing is, why does Dugin's book have so much currency within the Russian political and military spheres, to the point that they're trying hard to bring his depraved wankery to... undeath, I guess?

You realised your mistake, so there's no problem.

I think its influence is overstated, partly by Dugin himself to appear a bigger deal than he actually is. From what I can gather Russia wants to be a superpower or regional power over the old Soviet Union and some of their goals/strategy overlaps with what Dugin himself proposes.

Me neither, but Fiume wasn't really an Italian fascist state, compared to Mussolini.

I think the funniest thing in their constitution are the Aediles, basically a corporation encouraging music, cultural activities and art. Music was officially sponsored by the state, each commune would have an orchestra and choral society.


It was a chaotic cocktail of nationalist, anarchist, royalist, dandyism, and whatever else. Probably the most entertaining event of the 20th century.

It is.
But this is the key point of the book,
his fourth political theory literally exists to end the world
“The end times and the eschatological meaning of politics will not realise themselves on their own. We will wait for the end in vain. The end will never come if we wait for it, and it will never come if we do not. This is essential because history, time, and reality have special strategies to avoid Judgment Day, or rather, they have a special strategy of a reversionary manoeuvre that will create the impression that everyone has come to a realisation and an understanding.… If the Fourth Political Practice is not able to realise the end of times, then it would be invalid. The end of days should come; but it will not come by itself. This is a task, it is not a certainty. It is active metaphysics. It is a practice.”

So he has absolutely no interest in using his “fourth political theory” to build a better world, but to destroy it so we can all “return” to the glorious hyperborean magical empire hidden in Siberia.
Really weird stuff.

It is Russified Esoteric Nazism combined with Pol Pot really.

Catholicism is more traditional than British Anglicanism.
When you are advocating for a very liberal Church your tradition argument takes a hit.

As far as I am aware you are not even religious, so I am not sure why you suddenly have such a axe to grind with my religion, but Anglicanism is based on a historical tradition daring back to the 6th century. Our official liturgy is actually older than that of the Roman Catholic Church, and there have been significant additions to Catholic doctrine since the Reformation.

Yes. Single party rule is intrinsic to fascism - and Dolfus hated political parties. The name was something used simply to fit the time. It was certainly third position though.

Interesting enough - as the austro-fascist government was set up to remedy the failure of party politics, it would be these same parties which started a civil war ( the social Democrats and communists ) and eventually destroyed Austrian sovereignty ( the nazis ).

Dolfus should have brought the hammer down upon national parties entirely

Which Karl? I'm a bit lost, cause there were a lot of famous german karls.

And what is wrong with Austro-fascism ( aside from it didn't go hard enough to destroy the parties ).

Charles I of Austria, who was actually beatified in 2004. Hence being called "Blessed Karl".
I hear he was a legitimately nice man.
