I did not say they were quotations from the paper, I wrote that they
were the political *corollaries* of the analysis and line of argument
given in the paper.
The issue is not the author's intentions, which I will take for granted
are honest and good. The issue is (i) the validity of the analysis and
(ii) its political implications.

Then what is your take on the theoretical problems and weakly supported
explanations that I tried to highlight previously?
(The failure to distinguish extra-economic coercion from the laws that
operate through the market; the cause of high real wages in the advanced
countries; the cause of higher wages within the professional
middle-class; the actual flows of money and goods between economies; the
domestic reproduction of the real wage vector; the extrapolation of the
British economy to all advanced or 'imperialist' economies and so on?)
