In a key passage, Putin remarked how \u201cthe world has entered a period of revolutionary transformations, which are fundamental in nature. New development centers are being formed, they represent the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As he made the direct connection between multipolarity and strengthening of sovereignty, he took it all the way to the emergence of a new anti-colonial movement, a turbocharged version of the Non-Aligned Movement of the 1960s:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have many like-minded people all over the world, including in Europe and the United States, and we feel and see their support. A liberating, anti-colonial movement against unipolar hegemony is already developing in various countries and societies. Its subjectivity will only grow. It is this force that will determine the future geopolitical reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet the speech\u2019s closure was all about transcendence &#8211; in a spiritual tone. The last full paragraph starts with &#8220;Behind these words stands a glorious spiritual choice&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Post-post-modernism starts with this speech. It must be read with utmost care so its myriad implications may be grasped. And that\u2019s exactly what tawdry Western spin and a basket of demeaning adjectives will never allow.<\/p>\n<p>The speech is a concise road map to how we got to this incandescent historical crossroads \u2013 where, to venture beyond Gramsci, the old order refuses to acknowledge its death while the new one is inexorably being born.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pipeline Terror is the 9\/11 of the Raging Twenties There\u2019s no question that future unbiased historians will rank\u00a0Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s address\u00a0on the Return of the Baby Bears \u2013 Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia \u2013 on September 30 as a landmark inflection point of the Raging Twenties.
