So…ok…my best guess is that he means Marx thought revolution will spark in the biggest, most developed centers of capitalist world-system first, but…the thing is - Marx was proven empirically wrong, when Russian Empire, which didn’t even properly transition into capitalism yet, went and accidentally a revolution with it’s based bald dedushka. And, looking at it with the benefit of retrospective, why would the center of capitalist world-system even experience a revolutionary situation? It’s the place where living standards are high enough for most workers not to think about how they’re getting fucked.
