I meant to add on this point that by England showing the future, the KM's
point was that countries would become "developed" like England.  Quotes on
that word because "developed" as he saw meant worsening conditions for the
masses in England as polarization of wealth proceeded (which is what Engels'
"Conditions.." is all about of course).  However, about the opposite has
occurred: a large middle class formed in the core while P conditions
worsened.  These uncomfortable facts are among those that led to the
world-system perspective.
