And they do have a real-world effect, they produce different societies, motivations of leaders and all this shit
But ultimately you have to examine the world scientifically, through materialism. Take away all idealism; ideologies, nationalism, religion, etc..
And what you are left with is just the world divided into different political-economic blocs and the elites that control them; and who all have the tendency to expand, make more copies of themselves, and compete for new markets and human resources - if necessary by violence. And then find out what their priorities are, geographies, resources.
From there you can make predictions.
Fault-line in Ukraine? Yeah sure - it's right in the middle between two rival blocs, and never managed to make a firm choice until the Nazi coup; but that didn't bring it stability.
Not true at all, ideologies are more than just an idea, they are the spiritual destiny of people
And today there is only one ideology, which is Liberalism
Liberalism gave many good things to the world and won over Fascism and Communism
Democracy and the ideas of enlightenment thinkers did not take hold because of only "materialism"
That's vapid thinking and an oversimplification , the ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity provided a framework to the western world, which gained a superior position relative to the world through colonialism, but also the reformation of colonial empires into liberal states and eventually knocked communism down and spread into the states that were in the communist bloc
Liberalism won over not just because of Huntingtons theory on application of violence
Although that's a big reason why anglo saxons did succeed in large
Liberalism itself offered the world a structure and a framework for governance to happen over people, and it won over Communism and Fascism
Liberalism provided a useful way for self determination of majorities
But in the post modern era, technology has destroyed said concept
The majorities are ruled by minorities, and freedom of press, freedom of speech , and general freedoms are taken away to emancipate the oppressed, is it a concerted effort of only transnational corporations, opportunistic governments and hidden interests? Or is it the contradiction of an ideology which met with internet and technology and birthed a world nightmare?
We arrive at a point where Liberalism has passed its own maxim as a liberation ideology
And became the very tool which oppressed and subjugated other people's and cultures by masking colonialism and the theft of other nations resources, under the guise of universal human rights
So the call to multipolar world is two fold, it is a reaction to the degradation of Liberalism,
And calls for the replacement of Liberalism with either an entirely new ideology
One that is not based in racial or national supremacy, neither class consciousness and class warfare, and neither democracy
Russian thinking doesn't seek a political solution
But a consensus which can be built around identity of different peoples that come from anthropological roots and origins
In multipolar world, there is confusion in which many think that fascism or communism are being brought back to challenge Liberalism
It's not true at all, a new type of governance is required which respects the distinct identity of different nations
Because that is where we find ourselves today
The very identity of mankind is being questioned in the post modern era
So therefore , the Russian world is an adequate response to the post modernist liberals
Not quite an ideology, but leading towards one centered around self determination
Live and let live, for sure, but bomb the ones who call into question your identity
