Tucker Carlson releases interview with Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin

They discussed ‘new liberalism’ and its role in the fate of Western civilization

American journalist Tucker Carlson has released a 20-minute interview with high-profile Russian philosopher and political commentator Aleksandr Dugin. The conversation was published on Carlson’s YouTube channel on Monday.

Dugin has been described by Western media as ‘Putin’s brain’ due to his supposed influence on the Russian president and the influence of his work on the country's elite in general.

A fervent critic of the West and foreign policy hawk, Dugin passionately supports Russia’s military operation against Kiev, and has stated that an independent Ukrainian state “should not exist.”

In 2022, his daughter Darya was killed in a car bombing, which the Russian authorities claim was orchestrated by Ukrainian agents. Several media outlets subsequently cited unnamed US intelligence officials as saying Washington believes that the Ukrainian authorities were indeed involved in the assassination.

Carlson introduced Dugin as “a writer who writes about big ideas,” claiming that his books have been “banned by the Biden administration” in the US. “You cannot buy them on Amazon,” he said.

During the conversation, Dugin argued that liberal ideology, which has essentially become uncontested in the West since the fall of the Soviet Union, is leading to the demise of the concept of the family. “Family is [being] destroyed in favor of this individualism,” he said, adding that the natural progression of liberalism will lead to “abandoned human identity.

Next phase: New liberalism. Now it is not about the rule of a majority, but it is about the rule of minorities. It is not about individual freedom, but it is about woke-ism,” Dugin said. “It is not democracy. It is totalitarianism.”
