You're right on the first point. Das Kapital, which lacks the creepy input of Engels, is a more academic tome, and addresses the same issue.

Globalization does bring the possibility of international unions, which I could see as potentially destabilizing some private institutions. As for the increase in inter-national friction as a cause of change (as may be represented by the WOT), it first must mutate into an ideology not governed by a wahabiist reaction to modernity spurred by elites but rather into a unique and culturally grounded arab socialist project. Possible, though seemingly unlikely.
