Superprofit (or surplus profit or extra surplus-value; in German: extra-Mehrwert), is a concept in Karl Marx's critique of political economy, subsequently elaborated by Lenin and other Marxist thinkers.
Comment: 'extra-Mehrwert' is NOT the same thing as superprofits!
While 'extra-Mehrwert' has to do with above-average surplus-value obtained through, i.e., technological advantages in a company or sector of the economy that the competitor does not have (yet), superprofits refer specifically to profits obtained by the imperialist/colonial bourgeoisie in their exploitation of work force in the dependent, by imperialism dominated, countries.
What is going on in this article? Did someone try and post a comment in the actual body of the article instead of using the talk page? If this can be fixed it would be awesome - otherwise, I'll try and do surgery on my own.

I cut the text above from the main article and pasted it here, since it was quite clearly making the article contradict itself. I know little about this issue, but if extra-Mehrwert = superprofit, the article should consistently express this. If not, it should say so. Thanks.
