Alexander Dugin, the Russian Eurasianist philosopher popular on major U.S. podcasts like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones, presents himself as the antidote to Western oligarchic globalism and technocracy. In a May 2026 interview with Russian journalist and TV personality Ksenia Sobchak, Dugin praised North Korea as a “bastion of humanism, democracy, and civilization,” even calling it an “island of freedom.” The comments came roughly nine minutes into the interview, as Dugin responded to Sobchak’s questions about his vision of Russia’s future. He also described North Korea as a small country that has proven itself a “great nation” through its fierce resistance to globalism and Western liberal hegemony. [1] [2]
This statement is pure ideological fantasy that bears no resemblance to reality. In truth, North Korea under the Kim dynasty stands as one of the most brutal, totalitarian regimes in modern history. It maintains power through systematic atrocities including widespread starvation, political prison camps holding tens to hundreds of thousands of people, routine torture, public executions, forced labor, enforced disappearances, and collective punishment that can condemn entire families across generations. Citizens endure total control: no freedom of thought, speech, movement, or access to outside information; constant surveillance and indoctrination that demands worship of the Kims as god-like figures; and a society built on lies, fear, and dehumanizing brutality. [3]
People who have actually lived in North Korea know the truth far better than any distant communist or Eurasianist propaganda peddled by figures like Dugin. In her powerful memoir In Order to Live, North Korean defector Yeonmi Park describes the Kim regime as a totalitarian hell that treats its citizens as slaves. The book paints North Korea as one of the most evil, oppressive regimes in modern history: a giant prison state built on lies, fear, and brutality. No freedom of thought, speech, or movement; everyone is constantly spied on and indoctrinated to worship the Kims as gods.
Her firsthand account, along with those of countless other defectors, exposes the horrifying human cost of this system. Dugin’s praise is not just wrong; it is a grotesque insult to the suffering of the North Korean people.
People worldwide are rightly disgusted by the current oligarchic, technocratic, deep state-driven globalist order. Yet the “solution” being aggressively marketed is not liberation. It is the same colonialism, hegemony, totalitarianism and New World Order, simply renamed Eurasian Multipolarity.
Multipolarity Hypocrisy: The BRICS–Communist–Islamic–Russian Orthodox Alliance- Colonialism, Hegemony, and the Globalist New World Order Rebranded
Iain Davis delivered a powerful exposé in his article The Beautiful Multipolar New World Order – The Burning Platform. He demonstrated that BRICS multipolarity is not the antidote to globalism. It is globalism with a new mask. He did excellent work which led me to want to research the Multipolar New World Order further.
The Mulitpolar New World Order merges:
- Alexander Dugin’s Eurasianist ideology,
- The Russian state,
- Communist China,
- The BRICS expansion -the intergovernmental organization originally formed by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, now has 11 full member countries with the addition of Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Unted Arab Emirates. About Us – BRICS
Russia, China, and Iran, the three key pillars in Dugin’s Eurasian multipolarity alliance, all have deeply troubling human rights records. Russia faces widespread criticism for restrictions on free speech, arbitrary detentions, and suppression of dissent. China is notorious for its mass surveillance state, forced labor camps, and severe crackdowns on minorities and political opponents. Iran stands out for its heavy use of the death penalty, systemic discrimination against women and minorities, brutal repression of protests and funding of the Hezbollah terrorist organization and other terrorist proxies.
UN’s Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals are part and parcel of Eurasian Multipolarity.
Far from offering a genuine alternative to Western globalism, these nations actively champion the UN’s Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals. In doing so, they embrace the very same centralized control mechanisms, including climate mandates, sustainable development policies, global digital tracking, and digital currency frameworks, that they loudly criticize when pursued by the West.
The public is being offered a false choice: Western globalism or Eastern multipolarity.
Both lead to the same destination: centralized power, eroded national sovereignty, and authoritarian control dressed up in new ideological clothing.
James Corbett’s Core Warning
In James Corbett’s April 2026 Episode 497 – The “Multipolar World Order” IS the New World Order! | The Corbett Report he shows how this framework continues long-planned global governance structures explicitly echoing the Club of Rome’s model of dividing the world into ten regional blocs for centralized administration and “sustainable development.” James Corbett’s warning is clear:
Don’t be fooled by the East-West rivalry theater. When you examine actual policies and historical patterns, the “Multipolar World Order” is simply the same globalist project under new branding.
Eurasian Multipolar Alliance is being promoted on famous and trusted platforms
It is not abstract theory. This alliance is being actively promoted in the West by major platforms and influential voices. Alexander Dugin has appeared on high-profile shows with Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones as a brilliant conservative Christian philosopher. If they really knew Dugin’s background, I doubt that they would have showcased him and his deceptive ideas in a positive light.
Dugin uses religion to gain conservative and Christian supporters
In public, Dugin now presents himself as a supporter of Orthodox Christianity. However, this shift does not appear to come from real religious belief. It is a practical choice to create unity among Russians and others who oppose the West.
This approach fits a classic pattern of deception: using the appearance of light and faith to cover darker goals. It echoes the Bible’s warning in 2 Corinthians 11:14: “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” In this view, religious language hides occult roots and the push for a totalitarian system.
Alexander Dugin: From Occult Roots to Eurasian Architect
Alexander Dugin sits at the center of this alliance. Many people call him “Putin’s brain” because his ideas have shaped much of Russia’s current strategy.
Dugin has a clear history with occult beliefs. In the 1990s, he gave lectures about Lucifer (the fallen angel), the occult writer Aleister Crowley, and even Nazi-Satanist ideas. One attendee recalled a talk filled with Crowley quotes that centered on Lucifer as a symbol of rebellion and hidden power. Dugin spoke openly about left-hand path occultism, which focuses on embracing darkness, destruction, and self-will rather than traditional good and light. Russian journalist Andre Loshak reported that Dugin once read Crowley’s poetry at a memorial event. Dugin also led the Eurasian Youth Union. At first, that group used fascist and occult symbols, including rituals and black magic elements inspired by Crowley.
Later, the Eurasian Youth Union embraced Eastern Orthodox Christianity as a unifying force against liberalism and the West.
Fourth Political Theory
At the heart of Dugin’s philosophy is his Fourth Political Theory. It argues that the three dominant political ideologies of the 20th century have all failed: liberalism, communism, and fascism.
It is important to note that when Dugin speaks of “liberalism,” he is not using the word in the way most people do today. Most people today see liberalism simply as the opposite of conservatism. Instead, Dugin uses “liberalism” to describe the entire Western worldview built on individual rights, democracy, and free-market capitalism.
He proposes replacing these systems with what he calls is an entirely new framework. The Fourth Political Theory rejects core modern Western values and instead promotes strong traditional societies (like Russia, China, Islamic nations and now even North Korea). It also promotes spiritual hierarchy (think Kim Dynasty and Islamic Fundamentalist nations here), and a multipolar world in which different civilizations preserve their “unique” identities rather than conforming to a single global liberal model.
At its core, it is fundamentally designed to oppose and dismantle only the current Western-led world order. Close examination of his plan reveals its true intentions.
Replace Western Democracies with a Multipolar Eurasian Empire
Instead of liberalism, capitalism, and the West (which he calls “Atlanticism”), Dugin wants to build what he calls a “multipolar Eurasian empire.” By multipolar, he means a world with several major centers of power instead of one dominant force led by the United States and its allies. Eurasian refers to a vast united power that would stretch across Europe and Asia. The word empire here describes a strong, centralized bloc designed to challenge and eventually replace today’s Western-led order.
The Multipolar Illusion – It’s Just the New World Order Rebranded
According to The Corbett Report, the “Multipolar World Order” pushed by BRICS nations, Putin, Xi, and others is not a genuine alternative to the New World Order. It is the same globalist project with different branding and new faces. Corbett explains that these leaders promote the same core ideas of centralized global governance through the UN and multilateral institutions, sustainable development goals, climate policies, digital currencies, and technocratic control that Western elites have long advanced. Corbett traces this agenda back through decades of elite planning and warns against falling for a false East-West opposition. Instead of resisting global control, the multipolar push simply redistributes influence while keeping the overall direction intact.[4] In other words, it is NOT an entirely new framework as Dugin claims.
What Global Leaders Are Actually Saying
- Xi Jinping calls for an “equal and orderly multipolarization” of the world. He stresses the need to safeguard the UN-centered international system, promote “inclusive globalization,” and build a new global governance framework. He has strongly backed the 2030 Agenda by launching China’s Global Development Initiative specifically to accelerate the UN Sustainable Development Goals. UN SDGs Partnership
- Vladimir Putin has repeatedly championed the multipolar world order alongside Xi, describing it as a “dynamic and irreversible process.” He positions BRICS as a central pillar to replace what he calls the outdated unipolar (U.S.-dominated) system. Russia under Putin has formally aligned its national development goals through 2030 and 2036 with the UN 2030 Agenda. Kremlin: Executive Order on Russia’s Development Goals
- Iran (including regime figures aligned with Khamenei) actively supports the shift to a multipolar order. It frames alignment with Russia and China, along with the “Axis of Resistance,” as part of building a new international system away from U.S. dominance. While Supreme Leader Khamenei has criticized certain aspects of the 2030 Agenda (particularly education reforms), Iran has officially participated in the UN 2030 Agenda and works with UN agencies on sustainable development programs. Wikipedia: Sustainable Development Goals and Iran
Dugin speaks out of both sides of his mouth
Dugin often says he stands against Communism and Fascism. His “Fourth Political Theory” is supposed to be a complete rejection of both of those old systems, as well as Western liberalism. Yet his actions do not match his words. He has thrown his full support behind today’s Russia, a country that still carries strong authoritarian and communist roots from its Soviet past. Don’t forget, Putin is ex KGB.
He has also built close ties with Communist China. The CCP’s legacy of totalitarian horror is exemplified by the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, where student-led protests demanding democracy, free speech and anti-corruption reforms in Beijing and other cities were brutally crushed on June 3-4. Troops and tanks opened fire on unarmed demonstrators and bystanders, killing hundreds to possibly thousands, with estimates varying from official claims of around 200 civilians to independent reports of over 10,000 deaths including injuries. [5]
Tank Man
The Aftermath
The CCP has systematically erased the Tiananmen Square massacre from history education, omitting it entirely from textbooks, censoring all online mentions (including searches for “June 4,” “Tank Man,” or even dates like “May 35” as coded references), banning public commemorations and detaining activists or bereaved families who attempt to discuss or memorialize it, leaving many young Chinese unaware of the incident. [6]
Speaking of China, Dugin claims he is a supporter of traditional societies, yet Mao totally abolished Chinese tradition by launching the Cultural Revolution and mobilizing the Red Guards to destroy the Four Olds: old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits. This resulted in the widespread destruction of temples, artifacts, classics, Confucian heritage, and traditional practices in a brutal attempt to remake society according to Maoist ideology.
Today, under Xi Jinping, who has held power as General Secretary of the CCP and President since 2012 and secured indefinite rule by abolishing term limits in 2018, this authoritarian grip persists, blending Mao-era ideology with modern surveillance to suppress dissent and enforce state supremacy over individual lives. As a side note: Numerous American tech companies and technocrat globalists have played significant roles in helping China develop its advanced surveillance systems: IBM, Dell, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Nvidia, HP, Cisco, Oracle, Microsoft, Seagate, Intel, Motorola, Amazon Web Services, Western Digital and ArcGIS Esri.

Since 1999, the regime has waged a savage campaign against Falun Gong practitioners. Followers face imprisonment, torture, and credible reports of forced organ harvesting. Forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in China – Wikipedia
This is not the behavior of a liberating power. It is the behavior of a dictatorship that fears its own people and crushes anyone who steps out of line.
And now Dugin has added Communist North Korea as a wonderful example of a solution to Western globalism.
Dugin’s Fascist and Totalitarian Past and Present
In his younger years he was deeply involved with groups that used Nazi and fascist symbols and ideas. At the same time, he is now working with radical Islamic movements, which are themselves strongly totalitarian. These contradictions show that Dugin is not truly loyal to any single ideology. His real goal seems to be destroying the current Western world order by any means possible, even if that means partnering with the very forces he publicly condemns. This double talk is another clear sign of the deceptive tactics he uses to draw people like Tucker Carlson who has a large media platform.
One clear example: China’s Belt and Road Initiative is just a new form of colonialism and hegemony.
China’s Belt and Road initiative is a good example of the real agenda behind Eurasian Multipolarity. Communist Pepe Escobar and other supporters of Eurasian multipolarity strongly promote China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). They connect it to the ideas of Russian thinker Alexander Dugin and Eurasian multipolarity. They present the BRI as a positive project that helps countries break free from Western dominance and build a new, fairer world order. [11]
In an article written by Escobar: Finance, power, integration: The SCO welcomes a new ‘Global Globe’ he states,:
“The heart of the matter is of course the drive towards a fair multipolar world order – the polar opposite of the Hegemon-imposed “rules-based international order.”
Ironically, China’s Belt and Road Initiative is just a new form of Hegemony.
Broken Dreams and Crumbling Concrete
Missionary friends of mine have witnessed the problems with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) up close in Ethiopia. Chinese workers dominate the projects and rarely employ local labor. Structures that look impressive at first often begin crumbling within a year: roads crack, buildings fall into disrepair, brand-new hotels deteriorate rapidly, water heaters fail, toilets break, and basic infrastructure collapses.
In Addis Ababa, for instance, the Chinese-built Light Rail system has deteriorated so quickly that many trains are out of service, stations show signs of neglect, and frequent breakdowns create unsafe and unreliable conditions for passengers.

This poor quality is not unique to Ethiopia. It has appeared across many BRI countries and is widely known as “tofu-dreg construction” (or “tofu-dregs projects”): a Chinese term for shoddy, corner-cutting work that resembles the weak, leftover residue from making tofu. Wikipedia: Tofu-dreg project.
It is just another power grab by Communist China
What China calls generous help often turns into a trap. They offer large loans for roads, railways, ports, and power plants. In return, they gain strong influence over government officials and key parts of the economy. Countries end up buried in debt and lose real control over their own future. This is not true development. It is a strategy for expanding power. Through the Belt and Road Initiative, China offers big loans that many poor countries cannot repay.
Debt Traps That Steal Sovereignty
Debt is one of the biggest dangers. Nations borrow far more than they can repay. When they fall behind on payments, China gains leverage over important assets. When payments fail, China seizes control of ports and other strategic assets, as happened in Sri Lanka with the Hambantota port. Sri Lanka had to hand over the Hambantota Port to China on a 99-year lease. This is a clear example of what many experts call debt-trap diplomacy.
Corruption and Secret Deals
Corruption makes the situation even worse. Chinese companies usually win the contracts with little open competition. Reports of bribes to local officials are common. Conservative sources such as the Heritage Foundation have strongly criticized the BRI as a tool for expanding Chinese power while creating unsustainable debt and loss of sovereignty.
China also punishes countries economically when they disagree with its policies. It has banned imports from Australia, threatened South Korea and Lithuania, and used spying, technology theft, and influence campaigns around the world. China seeks a world centered on its own power, not a fair multipolar system.
By mid-2016, President Xi claimed that 57 countries had become active participants in the BRI, with 30 of them formally signing cooperation deals. China also claimed to have established 75 overseas economic cooperation zones in 35 BRI countries. The China Development Bank said it was tracking more than 900 projects worth nearly 900 billion dollars. According to an article written by Pepe Escobar in 2023:
“By January this year, 151 nations had already signed up to the BRI: No less than 75 percent of the world’s population that represents more than half of the global GDP.” [12]
A New Form of Colonialism?
Pakistan, Kenya, Zambia, and several Central Asian countries face similar problems. They now owe large portions of their national debt to China. This limits their ability to spend money on health care, education, and other needs for their own citizens.
The Striking Hypocrisy
Yet there is a striking irony here. Eurasianists like Alexander Dugin and Pepe Escobar claim to hold an anti-hegemonic worldview. In practice, they oppose hegemony only when it comes from the United States and Britain. They accuse America and Britain of imperialism and economic domination while supporting the rise of BRICs, China, Russia and Islamic nations as new dominant powers. China’s Belt and Road Initiative serve as a prime example of this replacement strategy.
China acts in hegemonic ways, especially in its own region and through economic pressure. In the South China Sea, China has built and armed artificial islands in waters claimed by other countries. It ignores international law, including the 2016 ruling by an international court in The Hague. China uses its coast guard and fishing boats to bully neighbors such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Malaysia. This is a clear power grab over important shipping routes.
The pattern is clear
While Pepe Escobar, Dugin and his Eurasian multipolar group celebrate the Belt and Road Initiative as progress and paint China as humanity’s savior against the West, the evidence shows something different. China is repeating the same patterns of control and domination they accuse the West of committing in the past. It is not genuine win-win cooperation. It is a modern form of economic expansion that serves China’s strategic interests first, backed by a totalitarian system built on bloodshed and repression.
The Hard Truth
The Eurasian multipolar project is not a liberation movement. It is a carefully repackaged globalist power grab. Whether dressed in Dugin’s occult-tinged Eurasianism, Xi’s “tofu-dreg” debt traps, or Putin and Iran’s authoritarian repression, the end result remains the same: centralized control, crushed sovereignty, and humanity funneled into a technocratic cage. The public is being offered a false choice between a Western globalist order and an Eastern “multipolar” one. Both paths lead to the same destination: the erosion of freedom and the rise of a new feudalism with different flags. Do not be deceived. True resistance does not mean choosing which master will rule you. It means rejecting the entire game.
