On Karl Marx and "uncivilized" nations

Marx was from 1800s Europe, back than even relatively developed societies like Japan and Latin America (the latter of which just basically being Europeans in a shitty environment) were still seen as backwards and inherently inferior. Given that capitalism could only develop in an area where labor has to be specialized with tones of resources, such as Germany and England (aka, where Marx spent almost his entire life) he probably fell for the "Europe is blessed by divine favor" thing everyone else did.

Japan was unironically better than Europe. European influence fucked up Japan

It didn't have factories nor cool nik-naks so Europeans saw it as below them.

Capitalism produces effective social labour networks, so the proletariat appropriating leadership of industry in a global capitalist society is the best way to maintain socialism, that's why I feel optimistic about how trade operates today. China and Russia weren't capitalist before their attempts at socialism, which is why I feel that both failed - but today, any western country could easily transition into socialism.

Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?”

So it's always fake if it contradicts your beliefs? Marx used the word nigger himself since his uncle was a slave trader. He used the English word since it didn't exist in German. Maybe Yiddish but not in ger!man at the time. Oh but that must be fake too. Prophet Marx is infallible.
