How is a pulley a lever?

A pulley has an axle or pivot just like a lever has a fulcrum. Just as a lever tilts across a fulcrum and the fulcrum bears all the weight, a pulley rotates around its pivot/axle the same way. So in essence, a pulley is a lever wrapped into a wheel, with its fulcrum in the center.
