The whoooooooooooole shebang is out with @europeanlawopen.bsky.social. Everything you wanted to know about Marxism and EU law, but were afraid to ask.

New symposium out now🎉 Edited by @pashukanist.bsky.social, @nanoboss.bsky.social + me in @europeanlawopen.bsky.social seeks to introduce Marxist approaches to EU law scholarship. Read now 👉 www.cambridge.org/core/journal... 🧵 (1/9) A thread on the symposium (please share!)

Wherein, @nanoboss.bsky.social, @andywoodhouse.bsky.social and I attempt to chart out the Marxist tradition and its relationship to EU law - both historically and theoretically, as part of our broader symposium in @europeanlawopen.bsky.social Tis a chunky tome. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Definitely read @andywoodhouse.bsky.social's piece, which gives us a forensic Marxist account of EU emiisions trading. One more substantive piece left now in our @europeanlawopen.bsky.social Marxism and EU symposium, the monster by me, @andywoodhouse.bsky.social and @nanoboss.bsky.social.

New publication 🙌 It uses the concept of "climate rent" to critique the distribution of power and wealth in the EU Emissions Trading System. It's part of an upcoming symposium on Marxism + EU law edited by Me, @pashukanist.bsky.social + @nanoboss.bsky.social Read it here👉 doi.org/10.1017/elo....

Here I argue the Home Secretary's case that Palestine Action is concerned in terrorism is lacking in evidence, and proscribing the group is disproportionate. It will criminalise a significant proportion of civil society and be counterproductive for maintaining safety.

No matter how often I see this data, I always find it shocking. Of all the massive growth in output produced by the world's workers since 1980, more than half of it has been captured by the richest 1%. This is what happens when capital controls production.

read this pretty much in one breath, a great piece. We should all do more history.

New publication in Industrial Law Journal 🎉 The early EU once imagined a different kind of environmental policy. It was rooted in social democracy, not neoliberal logic. It's open access so you can give it a read at the link below 👇 doi.org/10.1093/indl...

"What can be offered as a resolution is not a ‘correct interpretation’, a new rights challenge, or even a new law, but something which challenges the very root of these social oppressions." A really thoughtful, provocative essay on FWS.

With further pieces to come from @andywoodhouse.bsky.social on the emissions trading system; Dimitrios Kivotidis on the 'democratic deficit' and a comprehensive (some might say really fucking long) piece by @nanoboss.bsky.social @andywoodhouse.bsky.social and myself, on Marxist theory and the EU.

First piece from our (@nanoboss.bsky.social and @andywoodhouse.bsky.social) Marxism and EU Law symposium is a brilliant one by Maria Tzanakopoulou mapping out the spatial configuration of class struggle in the EU.

I was supposed to discuss our book *The End of College Football* tonight in Washington, DC. I won't be there because I was denied entry to the United States. They refused to say why; my best guess is some combo of the inauguration, politics, Palestine, and maybe, a new normal.

You have to seriously question the wisdom of @ucu.org.uk HEC's decision to move to a ballot on the basis of a 53% yes vote on a 27% turnout

Israel killed more than 51 Palestinians in Gaza today, and just now there are reports of a massacre in Jabalia, where more than 40 people were killed in an attack on a building where people were sheltering. Today’s toll alone will likely surpass 100 dead and more injured.

I wrote some thoughts towards applying Pashukanis' commodity-form theory of law to EU climate law in Transnational Legal Theory www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
