-------------------------
The bourgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by 
the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all, even the most 
barbarian, nations into civilisation. The cheap prices of commodities are the 
heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it 
forces the barbarians’ intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate. 
It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of 
production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilisation into their 
midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In one word, it creates a world 
after its own image.
