The "city of London" as a financial nerve center predates Marx by decades. The London stock exchange came to prominence as their colonial empire expanded, particularly profiting from Virginia tobacco, and cotton from the southern Atlantic seaboard colonies, and sugar from Jamaica in the 18th century. It flowed back to England and was converted to cigar, textiles, and rum in British factories and resold for massive profits. As the 18th century came to a close, they lost the American colonies, but the British East India Company rose to prominence by taking control of the Mughal holdings in India, eventually forming the Raj. Huge amounts of wealth flowed back to Europe and London was where you traded it all.
However, it was in 1815, when Lord de Rothschild front-ran news of Wellington's victory over Napoleon at Waterloo that the "city of London" concept was really created. That's when the banking family captured enough wealth to basically run the whole show from the shadows.
Marx didn't invent Marxism and communism until the 1880s. The city of London shadow financiers were well established by the time he added his parasitic ideology to the mix.
You mentioned "endless wars." That, too, preceded Marx. It preceded de Rothschild too. Usury in Europe and the foundations of banking as an industry goes back to the Templars and the crusades. Kublai Khan utilized similar methods to fund his wars with the Song dynasty and Vietnam, two invasions of Japan, and an invasion of Java (Indonesia), all of which failed badly. By the time Jakob Fugger set the foundations of modern banking by financing wars among the principalities in the Holy Roman Empire, the concept of using endless wars as a profit engine were well established. The Jewish banking dynasties that cropped up during the height of the colonial period were simply perfecting a very old game by the time the Sassoons and Rothschilds and some of the other big names showed up to the party.
Why Jews? Because Christians were banned from usury in the Bible, so kings sought out Jewish bankers who were willing to provide the needed financing where Christians wouldn't or couldn't accept the inherent risk of financing a war, having your guy lose, and not getting your money back.
We are on the same track, though. I feel you are a little more informed about the minutia than myself, so I just tried to plug in oversimplified facts. Sorry if it came out wrong or anything. My resource is The Modern Anglo-Dutch Empire by Robert Ingraham.
Such eyeopening information about the deep state if you take the time to delve into it.
Not quite.

It's one massive rabbit hole to jump down.
