Dear Ismail,

If we look at the full quote (excerpted above) in isolation, I
don't see anything I would call philosophical or theoretical.
It is simply an objective observation of the operations
of capitalism and imperialism, which the British Empire
exemplified in Marx's day, and which is even more obvious
today.

What did I miss?
