If the capitalists expanded their workforce to Africa, South America and Asia, and the middle class was temporary happy with consuming slightly increased wages instead of seeding competition in those countries, then they hadn't cared about markets.
The middle class always has the breathing room down to consuming as little as the poor. If they don't use it to control markets, how are they going to maintain a socialist or communist system?
