Imperialism is the primary object of socialist resistance

Evidence

Second, if the universalist character of the answering dialectic - namely, socialism - implies an international character of the revolutionary project, the fundamental and irresolvable contradiction of global capitalism - the fact that it cannot provide for the vast majority of the direct producers in the backward formations - equally implies that it is the struggles of those direct producers in the backward formations which constitute the primary site for struggles towards the realization of the socialist project. The corollary of this second proposition is that the bearers of the socialist projecr could come as much from the advanced as from the backward zones of capitalism, but it is the issue of imperialism - the historically structured system of inequalities, between classes and between countries, between men and women, and between the working classes themselves of the different zones of the global systemwhich is the primary object of socialist resistance. — Aijaz Ahmad, In Theory, 1344
