The relationship between colonial plunder and the formation of the capitalist market

Colonial plunder laid the material foundation for capitalism. That is, the means of the period of primitive accumulation of capital. At the same time, it promoted the formation and development of the capitalist market. In the nineteenth century, after the Second Occupation, the world market dominated by the capitalist countries of Europe and the United States was formed.

Colonial plunder opened up markets and provided conditions for capitalist development.

Colonial plunder is the further formation of the capitalist market.

Colonialism opened up the world market, and colonial plunder led to the accumulation of wealth ...... for the development of capitalism

Early colonial expansion (16th-18th centuries) facilitated the further establishment and expansion of the world market.

Early colonial plunder was one of the important factors in the development of capitalism. By plundering the natural resources of the colonies, such as land, minerals, forests, flora and fauna, etc., and forcing the local population to perform unpaid labor and smuggling**, the colonial countries obtained a large amount of wealth and profits, which provided important capital for the start and development of capitalism**. At the same time, early colonial plunder also led to a decline in the market of goods in Europe and the Americas, which further contributed to the development of industrialization and capitalism.

The colonial countries exchanged cheap raw materials and labor for manufactured goods, thus gaining a competitive advantage in the international market and promoting industrialization and the development of the commodity economy.

The initial stage of capitalist development requires the primitive accumulation of capital, which is often bloody and violent.

The so-called primitive accumulation of capital is a historical process in which direct producers are separated from the means of production by violence, and thus the rapid concentration of money wealth in the hands of a few. This process takes place in the historical stage before the formation of capital and its corresponding mode of production, so it is called "primitive accumulation". It is the premise and starting point of the capitalist mode of production, the expropriation of the land of the peasantry, which forms the basis of the entire primitive accumulation.

The so-called primitive accumulation of capital refers to the process of separating producers from the means of production through violence and other improper means before the establishment of the capitalist mode of production, so that the means of production are concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. It should be understood from the following aspects.

1) The new bourgeoisie and the new aristocracy violently force the small producers to separate themselves from the means of production and accumulate capital. On the one hand, it concentrates the means of social production in the hands of a few, and on the other hand, it transforms a large number of producers into wage workers, thus preparing the preconditions for the capitalist mode of production. The enclosure movement in the UK is a case in point.

2) Conquer colonies by force, loot gold and silver property, trade slaves and other means to accumulate wealth. For example, slaves in the 16th century**.

3) Capital accumulation is different from the primitive accumulation of capital. The process of accumulation through the exploitation of the surplus value of workers is called capital accumulation. The means of primitive accumulation of capital is plunder, and the means of capital accumulation is exploitation.

The fundamental reason is the germination of capitalism, the development of the economy, the relatively large number of motive forces, the improvement of technology, the change of ideology, religion, etc., and the influence is that the world is closely connected, gradually becoming a whole, forming capitalist colonial rule.

The fundamental reason for the colonial expansion of Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and other European countries was that after the Industrial Revolution, they suddenly became powerful, but their geographical and production resources were greatly insufficient.

Fundamental causes: the need for capitalist development and the development of the commodity economy.

Economic power: The description of the East in Marco Polo's Travels stimulates the motivation of Westerners to get rich.

Impact:1To the West:

Promote the primitive accumulation of capital and the development of Western capitalism. 2.To Asia, Africa and Latin America:

a.Constructive: Bring advanced Western technology, production methods and ideas.

b.Destructive: Causing great disasters to colonized countries 3

Early: barbaric primitive accumulation of capital such as looting, fraud, genocide, and slave traffic;

After the First Industrial Revolution: seizing markets and raw materials for dumped goods;

After the Second Industrial Revolution: While continuing to export commodities, the export of capital was the main mode of aggression.

The materials are as follows:

Are you asking about the aggression of the Great Powers against China?

From the Opium War to the First Sino-Japanese War, it was a commodity export.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Treaty of Ma Kuang allowed Japan to set up factories in China, so there was no reason why the other powers should not set up factories, so the mode of aggression changed from the export of goods to the export of capital.

Commodity Export: Mainly an export of physical goods to earn profits. For example, the export of opium export capital: mainly with capital and currency investment in factories, opening banks, loans, etc. to earn profits.

To put it simply, the former is to plunder local natural resources or human resources in the name of investment, and the export of human capital is to invest in other countries with excess capital, and its essence is to control the economic lifeline of the colony through capital.

The export of capital was the main form of colonial exploitation of China after capitalism entered the imperialist stage at the end of the 19th century.

Capital export, that is, to open factories or other investments in China. But in reality, the means by which the great powers obtain benefits are never single, economic plundering is often accompanied by political and military threats, and weak countries have no diplomacy or even weak countries have no economic independence.

Imperialism is characterized by monopoly, which means privilege, in order to speed up the plundering of the colonies. The great powers adopted the method of exporting capital to the outside world, and the same was true of the colonial plundering of China.

Through all kinds of political privileges, it has created a de facto monopoly or secretly and slowly cultivated the best people, and the exploitation of China is also getting worse day by day.
