You are ignoring Marx once again. He did not
restrict this process to England. He included the
New World as well. It is all part of primitive accumulation.
It is only now a majority of people in the world are becoming
separated from their lands. The 21st century will be the first
century when we'll have a proletarian majority in the world.
