Q. In The New Imperialism (2003), you do not seem to argue against
imperialism as such. In fact, you seem to see it as unavoidable in the world

distinguish your own vision of imperialism from that espoused by the current

The danger is that anti-imperialist
movements may become purely and wholeheartedly anti-modernist movements
rather than seeking an alternative globalization and an alternative
modernity that makes full use of the potential that capitalism has spawned.

I did not call you an FBI agent on LBO-talk, though I did say you have penis
