Theories of hegemony
#Hegemony
William Robinson pointed out four types of hegemony in the context of historical evolution and the world capitalist system:
1) hegemony as international domination, which is associated with the school of realism;
2) state hegemony, which refers to interstate relations and the power of key states (core states);
3) hegemony as rivalry between historical blocs under a certain political order (a feature of the social structure of accumulation);
4) consensus dominance or ideological hegemony.
A state that can combine all four positions can achieve the status of an unconditional hegemon.
In the historical context of Giovanni Arrighi's work "The Long Twentieth Century. Money, Power, and the Origins of Our Time" points to three successive hegemonies: the Dutch hegemony (from 1588 to 1713), the British hegemony (from 1713 to 1921), and the American hegemony (from 1921 to the present day).

What ensures the current dominance of the United States on the world stage?
In the economic sphere, this is undoubtedly the preservation of the status of the world reserve currency and the main means of payment in foreign trade transactions by the dollar. But the geopolitical sources of American dominance play an even more important role, their elimination will radically change the balance of power in the world and change the rules of the game that have developed since 1991.
1. Control over the Suez Canal, the key transport artery of the Eastern Hemisphere. It is provided by the presence of a pro-Western government in Egypt.
2. US control of Saudi Arabia. It was secured by the US-Saudi alliance treaty of 1945 and confirmed by the "Carter Doctrine" of 1980.
3. The presence of sovereign Ukraine within the borders of the former Ukrainian SSR.
4. Control over Taiwan. This island actually blocks China's access to the oceans.

In the twentieth century American hegemony was opposed by two attempts — Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Both counter-projects were unsuccessful.

At the same time, such competition corresponds to the concept of the Fourth Political Theory of Alexander Dugin. Liberalism as the First political theory changes the hegemonic pole from Britain to the United States.
The second political theory based on Marxism creates a pole on the basis of the Russian Empire, transformed into the Soviet Union.
The third political theory, represented by National Socialism and fascism, arises as a reaction to both Marxism and liberalism. But these two hegemonies both arose and ceased to exist in the twentieth century, although their ideas and methods continue to be partially applied in different countries.

Is there internal contradictions in the structure of the global hegemon? What groups of interests collide within the decision centers?

Are there internal contradictions in the structure of the global hegemon? What groups of interests collide within the decision…
They surely exist. Global hegemony is only ideal in theory. There are forces that are more hegemonic, and there are forces that less. Basically, it's about the difference between those representatives of the hegemony who want to turn everything into a network…
"Global hegemony is a modern Western capitalist society. In the last US election we clearly saw — half of it is from the hegemony of future, the other half is from the hegemony of past.
Half of the United States is in one historical hegemonic phase, the other half is in another. Two twins — one is an old twin grandfather in the form of Trump and the Republican Party, the other is in the form of Kamala Haris, BLM, Mad Max, who fearlessly destroys the window to pull out the washing machine.
The kingdom of chaos is the second half of America".

"Marx’s main work is not called «Communism» or «Socialism», he wrote a much more important thing — «Capital». Marx described the enemy and its structure, ontology. He, rejecting the enemy, built a positive model. This is the only right move. Marx showed one side of hegemony, a very deep and very important one.
Another thing is that later his teachings turned into scholastics, which do not work today, but they were right on its historical period".

"The system of the Soviet Union, especially under Stalin and Mao Zedong in China, was half of the world that was truly outside of the hegemony. On the border between the East and West camps was the necessary barrier.
Now, of course, they say: “What cruel KGB officers, how did they treat people who brought with them goods necessary for human life: porn, perfume, tights from the “free world”, and they treated them cruelly". But in fact it was hygiene, it was a sanitary removal of mold. The Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist State tried to protect themselves. China is still trying to protect itself from hegemony.
Today, left-liberal Marxism acts as the same ants that carry mold spores. We cannot continue to seriously rely on Marxism as a counter-hegemony, because today's Marxism is not the Marxism of the 1950s and 1960s. Until a certain moment, Marxists were a real bulwark against hegemony."
