Multipolarity is popular on hexbear because it allows nations to assert themselves without being crushed - ripe ground for any ideology which wants to replace the stagnant liberal order in their own country. That makes the concept popular with fascists who want to dismantle the western order, and communists that want to dismantle the neoliberal capitalist order. Multipolarity is a dangerous double edged sword, but the key thing to remember is that it’s almost inevitable. The world changes, no one can stay on top forever.
Predicting that the world will be more unstable without a unipolar hegemon doesn’t, funnily enough, make you a duginist fascist.
