More of the same:
To me, the notion of ‘countries’ exploiting other ‘countries’ through ‘transfer’ of surplus value is the leftist concomitant to the right-wing ‘pro-workerist’ claim (like with Trump) that the working class of country X (say, the US) are ‘exploited’ by country Y (say, China) through ‘unequal’ trading relations.
Can we have an article in the SS — or why not a pamphlet? — dealing with both of these ideologies at the same time? It could be titled ‘Anti-socialist notions of exploitation’, or something catchy like that.
Or has it already been covered? (Where?)

I just noticed that as of today — Mon, 2019-09-02 01:14 and Mon, 2019-09-02 10:15 — there is further back-and-forth between Noa and the CWO.
You might post this, expanding on the last paragraph ( which I assume refers to, or is related, to the tendency-of-the-rate-of-profit-to-fall (TRPF) theory to which the CWO holds) on the libcom page where discussion of it (well, one comment so far, from Spikymike) is underway as of yesterday: https://libcom.org/blog/review-money-totality-fred-moseley-28082019 .
(Might change ‘Martian’ to ‘Marxian’ though!)

Regarding ‘reparations to Jewish victims of the Holocaust’ and related matters, Norman Finkelstein’s book ‘The Holocaust Industry’ is very well worth reading. An excellent two-paragraph summary of it:

Relatedly, see the paragraph that begins ‘ Nevertheless, I also write about the situation of Jews ‘ here in this interview with Michael Heinrich about his ongoing biography of Marx:(The first volume, I did not know, has already appeared in English: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39975054-karl-marx-and-the-birth-of-modern-society )It is not universally accepted that Marx was the author of that.
