“People resist exploitation. They resist as actively as they can, as passively as they must.”
Immanuel Wallerstein, Transforming the Revolution

“The capitalist world-economy needs the states, needs the interstate system, and needs the periodic appearance of hegemonic powers. But the priority of capitalists is never the maintenance, much less the glorification, of any of these structures. The priority remains always the endless accumulation of capital, and this is best achieved by an ever-shifting set of political and cultural dominances within which capitalist firms maneuver, obtaining their support from the states but seeking to escape their dominance.”
Immanuel Wallerstein, World-Systems Analysis: An Introduction

“The language of intrinsic human rights represented a significant advance beyond the previous language of world religions in terms of its universal applicability and its thiswordliness.”
Immanuel Wallerstein
