	RIA Novosti - Russia - No mechanisms yet to tax Gazprom superprofits - Kudrin
		ST. PETERSBURG, June 10 (RIA Novosti) - Mechanisms have not yet been considered for taxing Russian energy giant Gazprom's superprofits, Russia's finance minister said Saturday.
		A Kremlin source said Friday that Russia's government had refused to support an initiative from the finance minister to impose taxes on Gazprom's superprofits.
		The source said Gazprom was a state-owned company and it would be senseless to tax the company's profits and later return the funds to the company.

	Superprofit - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Superprofit (or surplus profit or extra surplus-value; in German: extra-Mehrwert) is a term used by Karl Marx in Das Kapital.
		According to Lenin, superprofits are extracted from the workers in colonial (or "third world") countries by the imperialist powers in the "first world".
		Part of these superprofits are then distributed (in the form of increased living standards) to the workers in the imperialists' home countries, in order to buy their loyalty, achieve political stability and avoid a workers' revolution.

		The Labor aristocracy, in Marxist-Leninist theory, is a category of workers (proletarians) in developed countries, who benefit from the superprofits extracted by the capitalist ruling classes of their countries from the impoverished workers of underdeveloped countries.
		Class consciousness is a category of Marxist theory, referring to the self-awareness of a social class, its capacity to act in its own rational interests, or measuring the extent to which an individual is conscious of the historical tasks their class (or class allegiance) sets for them.

		The error is as follows: just as a species does not vanish when particular individuals die, nor rivers run dry because their water passes into the sea, the existenc e of superprofit in general does not depend on any particular source of it.
		Although the possession of a particular new process is temporary, it is perfectly possible to renew the source of superprofit provided the innovator can always introduce the next innovation before his or her rivals.
		Superprofit }{\i in general}{ exists as long as there is technical progress, just as rivers last as long as there is rain.

	Imperialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It states that imperialism allows the capitalists from developed (rich) countries to extract a superprofit from the working class of undeveloped (poor) countries.
		The majority of this superprofit is kept by the capitalists themselves, but some of it is shared with the working class of the developed countries (in the form of higher standards of living, cheaper consumer goods, etc.), in order to placate that working class and avoid revolution at home.
		The Soviet Union, which claimed to follow Leninism, proclaimed itself the foremost enemy of imperialism and supported many independence movements throughout the Third World.

	Global Cities: Strategic Roles and Socio-Political Implications RIETI
		The ascendance of the specialized services-led economy, particularly the new finance and services complex, engenders what may be regarded as a new economic regime because although this sector may account for only a fraction of the economy of a city, it imposes itself on that larger economy.
		One of these pressures is towards polarization, as is the case with the possibility for superprofits in finance, which contributes to devalorize manufacturing and low-value added services insofar as these sectors cannot generate the superprofits typical in much financial activity.
		Operating informally is often one of the few ways in which such firms can survive: for example, using spaces not zoned for commercial or manufacturing uses, such as basements in residential areas, or space that is not up to code in terms of health, fire and other such standards.

		>The superprofit theory was held by Engels concerning 19th Century Britain and Lenin.
		So, maybe they are wrong, but Engels, Lenin and maybe the people who vote conservative in Kansas think there are superprofit mechnanisms in rich nations by which sectors of the working class gain marginal economic benefit relative to other sectors of the wc.
		Calling this bribery and privilege "the superprofit theory" obscures the fact of bribery and privilege.

	PEN-L message, [PEN-L:4970] profit rate equalization
		It is first introduced in Volume I on p317 in the discussion of Relative Surplus Value (itself a somewhat neglected topic of study, incompatible with equilibrium, and the centre of Marx's analysis of capitalism.
		He there observes that the divergence of individual from average profit vanishes as soon as the 'new method of production has become general', from which many have chosen to read him as if he thought superprofit was transitory and accidental.
		Superprofit is a permanent preoccupation of Marx throughout (cf pp264- 265 in CIII,pp642-644, TSVII p83, p336, p472, etc., etc., etc; the newly-translated volumes of his economic works, particularly Volume 34, reek of it).

		The whole concept of "bourgeoisie in the party" arose in and from that context--going beyond seeing CIA payrolls to seeing the whole possibility of a "sugar-coated bullet." When exploited people choose Trotskyism, we can guess that it was a mistake from ignorance.
		The reason Trotskyism occurs somewhat often in the imperialist countries is that its demands are objectively for Western "working-class" sharing of superprofits.
		Otherwise, we would find Trotskyism as much a success in the Third World as here, but even Doug admits that France is the only country Trotskyists can hang their hats on, and that is only electoral success.

	PEN-L message, [PEN-L:34415] Re: Re: redistributionist liberals
		This is a tad bit different than looking at what one worker makes in relationship to the surplus value extracted by the capitalist.
		Superprofits mean that the auto worker in Mexico making the identical engine I made in Detroit was paid less in the form of what it took to consume.
		That is you are put to work and given a little less than the value of what you create or there would be no profit.

	Law of value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The operation of the law of value in the world market might however seem rather abstract, in view of the phenomena of unequal exchange, differences in accounting norms, protectionism, debt-driven capital accumulation and gigantic differences in currency exchange rates between rich and poor countries.
		These phenomena can create very a significant distortion between market prices for goods, and the real production costs for those goods in world trade, resulting in superprofit for the beneficiaries of the trade.
		For example, the 2002 UNCTAD Trade and Development Report estimated that the share of manufacturing exports produced by developing countries grew by some 150% in the 1990s, rising from 11% of total world exports (by value) of manufactured goods, to 27% in 1998.

		Or take the law of wages, the realisation of the value of labour power, which is only realised as an average, and even that not always, and which varies in every locality, even in every branch, according to the customary standard of life.
		There too there is by no means a direct coincidence between real superprofit and real rent, but only an average approximation.
		It is exactly the same with the law of value and the distribution of the surplus value by means of the rate of profit.

		Second, he had to show the organic link between imperialism and the rise of opportunism in the working class movement or between imperialist superprofit and the bribing of not just a thin stratum of labour aristocracy but a considerable minority of workers of imperialist nations.

		The MNCs shifting their bases to low-wage Third World countries are no longer celebrated as the benign procurer of lucrative superprofits, but are increasingly being resented as savage destroyers of jobs and high wages in their own homelands.

		It assumes many forms and operates in many arenas, from the distribution of telecommunications facilities to the structure of the economy and of employment.
		For instance, the polarization among firms and households and in the spatial organization of the economy contributes, in my reading, towards the informalization of a growing array of economic activities in advanced urban economies.
		When firms with low or modest profit making capacities experience an ongoing if not increasing demand for their goods and services from households and other firms in a context where a significant sector of the economy makes superprofits, they often cannot compete even though there is an effective demand for what they produce.
