Unfortunately, the US has the capacity to implement any philosophy, even an absurd one. The US can force almost any country to accept its view of the world by means of political (military), economic or informational pressure.
Building a multipolar world
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Lord Acton
The US have absolute power.
We want to build a world, in which no single power can make global decisions without taking into account the interests of other powers.
In order to establish such a world order, the efforts of any single country alone are not sufficient. Some thinkers propose following plan for creating a truly multipolar world:
1.All powers, which are against American domination form an alliance (Eurasian Alliance). Eurasian Alliance combines the resources (political/military, economic etc) of all its members so that the power of the alliance is comparable to that of the US.
2.Using its power, the Eurasian alliance achieves that US give up their aggressive doctrine. In the end, US becomes incapable to force other countries to accept their values. US becomes a great power among many.
3.After US gave up their world domination plans, the goal of Eurasian alliance is attained and the alliance is dissolved. From now on, the world is truly multipolar.
The Eurasian Alliance will include many different countries, which have one in common: they want to be independent powers and not vassals of the US. Russia is one of them.
Can it work?
There is at least one example in history, where such an approach worked.
In ancient times, Carthago was a very strong power and had world domination goals. In order to protect themselves from conquest by Carthago, many peoples united themselves into an alliance, which eventually destroyed Carthago. That alliance is known as the Roman Empire.
Eurasian Alliance is the modern Roman Empire.
Conclusion
Russia can contribute a lot to establishing of a multipolar world according to the scheme presented above. Not only does Russia possess significant military and political power.
Much more important is the self-image of Russians as the savers of the world. Today there is a concrete threat to the world and this threat must be eliminated. For this reason, the idea that Russians have the mission to save the world is beneficial not only for Russians, but for the entire world.
Russia saved the world from the evil several times in history. She will do it another time.

Russia is a capitalist country only it is run mainly by the state although more individual capitalists pop up every day .That's why marx asked for all workers of the world to unite because you cannot have a socialist state only a socialist world.
