England's "primitive accumulation" was the original accumulation of
capital (not the original accumulation of property, given that Marx
himself noted that property is always a political relationship, and
property long pre-existed capitalism), but that in order to develop
control over surplus value, capital needed to rule labour-power, which
itself is a process.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This passage once again has to do with "primitive accumulation." And
accumulation of capital, primitive or otherwise, is enabling,
concomitant and result, but it is certainly not dispositive, unlike the
role of changes in social property relations (not just accumulation of
property, which of course predated capitalism - although that, too, was
enhanced with the advent of capitalism), with the specific locus of
capitalism's origins occurring in the English countryside, So again,
without changes in social property relations, no capitalism.
