    It appears so because he was usually writing about Europe specifically. My version of Das Kapital ends with his correspondence with a Russian revolutionary, where he says pretty much that - she asks him if Russia should necessarily go through a capitalist phase before socialism, and he answers Das Kapital is about the western european history specifically, and each place has its own specific history. He tells her about how the development of russian rural communes of the time had the potential to turn Russia into a powerhouse to rival any capitalist country.

      A comrade and I are reading through his ethnographic notebooks! In the final 10 years of his life he took like 10000 pages of handwritten notes, its something like 2 cubic yards of notes, much of it related to anthropology and human developmental science.
