This threw me

"When the estate of the urban burghers, the
corporations, etc. emerged in opposition to the landed nobility, their condition of existence -- movable
property and craft labour, which had already existed latently before their separation from the feudal ties
-- appeared as something positive, which was asserted against feudal landed property, and, therefore, in
its own way at first took on a feudal form."

I 'm not sure what Marx and Engels are attempting to say about the creation of industry in relation to people's relationship to or idea of the state?
