They did. Peasants were self sufficient in their communities and they were creating surplus. Only that they paid taxes by their surplus. But to send them to the cities to stay in small dirty houses to work for many hours and low wages in factories, they demanded currency for the taxes, which the peasants didn't have. Then they stole the commons by privatisation and fences appeared in the land and the peasants became poor. That is the story.
