In part 2 of our ongoing series about Aleksandr Dugin, Jules Taylor sits down to speak with Wahid Azal, author of the 2016 Counterpunch article entitled "Dugin's Occult Fascism and the Hijacking of Left Anti-Imperialism and Muslim Anti-Salafism".
Wahid wrote this article when he realized that Duginists were actively recruiting leftists and anti-imperialists, as well as anti-Salafist Shiʿi and Sunni Muslims. This conversation was eye-opening on numerous levels, but I want to be cautious here and remind folks that being an anti-fascist isn't not dangerous. Fascists, in general, are dangerous people, with a ravenous ideology who are not to be trifled with.
Wahid currently lives in Australia, and he relocated there from Berlin for his safety and the safety of his daughter after his wife mysteriously passed away. This conversation is about more than Dugin. It's about being anti-fascist and calling it out when you see it and how there is a very real cost to doing that. It's also about the way shades of far-right ideology can muddy the water and how we lose comrades.
My heart goes out to Wahid and his daughter, as it takes an incredible amount of bravery to keep sounding the alarm on all of this.
