"by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production and constant development of the media, the bourgeoisie drags current civilization all nations, even the most barbarian . Low prices of its commodities are the heavy artillery down all Chinese walls and capitulate to the barbarians' intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners. It compels all nations, if not extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production, it compels them to introduce the so-called civilization, ie to become bourgeois themselves. In a word, it creates a world in his image and likeness "
