But you find the same thing there again:
right. But Marx's emphasis had changed, to talk about the
expropriation of domestic producers in England (the enclosure
movement). Without the resulting creation of a mass proletariat, the
looting from the rest of the world would not have promoted capitalism.
It would have likely lead instead to wars and more wars, royal pomp
and imperial waste, i.e., a continuation of the feudal "order."
