More on Globalization
“The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connections everywhere.

To the great chagrin of reactionaries, it has drawn from under the feet of industry the national ground on which it stood.”
