I’d go with classifying him as a neo-larouchite as you stated. It fits more with the American context that his reactionary thinking is rooted in.
Anybody who throws their lot in with Dugin should be at least warned and avoided if they are unable to be saved. I watched a series of videos by Derick Varn where he goes through Dugin’s writings to critique them and he points out Dugin explicitly states that he wants to recruit leftists to his 4th positionist movement. We should especially be wary of these folks trying to get their foot in the door by inserting themselves into any discussions that are had on the left about what a multipolar world would mean for the future. It seems like that’s the angle they try to hook leftists at the moment.
Heidegger is always a big red flag to me.
4th positionist
It’s really funny he calls it this because it’s just 3rd positionist with extra steps

Got a Playlist for that?
No playlist but, I’ll make a list of links in the reply. They’re quite long given Varn’s digressions (something I nonetheless appreciate). He goes through Fourth Political Theory line by line in these. It will take a long time to listen through them.
Part 1 https://youtube.com/watch?v=Mq9TNmwqt_A
Part 2 https://youtube.com/watch?v=s89ptcymZqI
Part 3 https://youtube.com/watch?v=U9r4Znw4B_w
Part 4 https://youtube.com/watch?v=RRpSFYGxUfI
I listened to parts 0, 1, and a bit of 2. You weren’t kidding about the digressions. They made it hard for me to pay attention. Kind of annoying how the host keeps shitting on AES and “Stalinism” the whole way through.
I found YouTube links in your comment. Here are links to the same videos on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
