Episode 93 — Multipolarity & the End of American Hegemony w/Constantin von Hoffmeister

In today’s episode of The Backlash, Rebecca Hargraves and Dave Reilly are joined by Constantin von Hoffmeister — German author, poet, translator, editor, and founder of Multipolar Press. As one of the most distinctive voices advancing the vision of “Eurosiberia,” Hoffmeister argues for a sovereign European–Russian civilizational bloc capable of resisting both American hegemony and global liberal universalism.

We explore how Hoffmeister’s life across Germany, Russia, and the United States shaped his holistic approach to geopolitics, culture, and world order. Diving into his writings on multipolarity, we discuss Stalin’s pivot to “socialism in one country,” national ethnopluralism, and whether modern leaders — Putin, Xi, Orbán, or others — embody that same synthesis of national identity and state power.

From the fragmentation of the American Right to the future of European nationalism, Hoffmeister analyzes which factions offer Europe opportunities…and which pose existential dangers. We examine the tension between aristocratic elitism and plebeian revolutionary currents, the role of women in a post-liberal Europe, the question of whether Asian developmental models can be meaningfully transplanted into European civilization, and the cultural roots behind East Germany’s support for the AfD.

The conversation turns to East German virtues, the legacy of the GDR, mass immigration, capitalism, Alain de Benoist’s famous critique, and what a coherent alternative to both global capitalism and mass immigration would actually require. Finally, Hoffmeister gives recommendations for younger readers entering the world of Revolutionary Conservative and National Bolshevik literature.

This is a wide-ranging conversation on history, identity, power, and the emerging multipolar world — and what comes next for Europe.
