Summary/Abstract: With political and economic upheavals from Brazil to Russia, there is a sense that the BRICS initiativehas lost speed, grounded to a halt.24 This in turn is interpreted as a sign that China is more preoccupiedwith 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 financeand stock jugglers. All his suppositions fail to take into account the conditions in which the currentinternational regime was created in.
