Comparing Immanuel Wallerstein’s critique of the BRICS with that of the creation of the United Nations

COMPARING IMMANUEL WALLERSTEIN’S CRITIQUE OF THE BRICS WITH THAT OF THE CREATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS With political and economic upheavals from Brazil to Russia, there is a sense that the BRICS initiative has lost speed, grounded to a halt.24 This in turn is interpreted as a sign that China is more preoccupied with problems at home that need to be urgently resolved,25 meaning imminent collapse of BRICS. Surprising, however, is the frontal attack angled by notorious Marxists/Trotskyists like Immanuel Wallerstein. In his short article26 he echoes exactly the same views as the world of finance and stock jugglers. All his suppositions fail to take into account the conditions in which the current international regime was created in.
