Templars of the Proletariat, the classic work by Alexander Dugin Coming soon from Arktos! Excerpt: This geopolitical and cultural understanding of ‘nation’ was based on a fundamental geopolitical dualism, which received its first lucid description in the work of Mackinder, after which it was taken up by the school of Haushofer in Germany and the Eurasianists in Russia. The imperial conglomerate of Eastern peoples, coalescing around the Russian ‘heartland,’ formed the skeleton of a potential continental state, united in their choice of ‘ideocracy’ and in their rejection of ‘plutocracy,’ their orientation toward socialism, and revolution against capitalism and ‘progress.’ It is telling that Niekisch insisted on the foundational potential of a socialist and Protestant Prussia, genetically and culturally bound with Russia and the Slavic world, all the while dismissing the centrality of Catholic Bavaria with its gravitational pull toward the Roman, capitalist model.
