Journalister: Jag är den enda advokat i Sverige som jobbat omfattande med nya och gamla könstillhörighetslagen. Kontakta mig gärna om ni har frågor innan ni skriver/pratar om den - just nu florerar stora mängder felaktigheter.

As one of the international lawyers in question I can say yes, this is the correct analysis if you aren't already aware

Av det världspolitiska skeendet att döma har folkrätten åter tagit ett kliv framåt mot större tydlighet.

Presidenterna kommer och går men USAs imperialistiska krig består

The world if Retfærd made the texts from its marxist period available online

Intresserad av vad en kritik av juridik/rätten Måste börja med? På med lurarna, in i julstöket o lyssna på detta kanonavsnitt. Carl Wilén, alltigenom ödmjuk person och djup tänkare, med tydlig och bra intro till den ”heta” Pasjukanis

Tillsammans med Carl Wilén, sociolog & postdoktor vid Lunds universitet, så försöker vi förstå & använda den sovjetiska rättsteoretikern Jevgenij Pasjukanis. Om marxistisk rättslära, juridikens relation till klasskampen & varför en skiss från 1924 plötsligt utgör grund för heta debatter igen.

I've written a short piece on international law, fetishism, and ideology - now out on Legal Form. I suggest that international law is an ideological fetishism of international relations.

Podcast (from @palfest.bsky.social) featuring @lalehkhalili.bsky.social interviewing Adam Hanieh, @rafeefz.bsky.social and me ou our @versobooks.bsky.social pamphlet Resisting Erasure. Some fantastic interviewing from Laleh, and I think(/hope?) a good conversation. www.podbean.com/media/share/...

Ny bok ute! I ”samtida Marxistisk teori” introduceras 37 (!) samtida marxister av 42 (!) skribenter. Själv har jag skrivit om David Harvey.

Today is the offical @versobooks.bsky.social release date of Resisting Erasure: Capital, Imperialism and Race in Palestine, by Adam Hanieh, myself and @rafeefz.bsky.social. www.versobooks.com/en-gb/produc...

This was a great chat I think. Alex on his usual excellent form and @rafeefz.bsky.social and Adam both brilliant as ever. This is our first pod about the @versobooks.bsky.social pamphlet and it's good to start out with some of the best.

Law, or as I like to call it, the commodity-form extended universe

Den svenska regeringen är emot att denna nödhjälp når svältande barn i Gaza via UNRWA - och anser alltså att nuvarande upplägg där civila palestinier mördas när de försöker få mat är mer effektivt.

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...

Not "preemptive." Illegal. There is no evidence of an actual or imminent armed attack by Iran. This is a blatant violation of the UN Charter. It has no legal basis in the right of self-defense. Now we wait to see how many civilians will die because of this insanity.

Executive committee member @mariethogersen.bsky.social brilliantly defending her PhD, “Ruling the Cloud - A Critique of International Cyber Law” - and beginning with a denouncement of the University of Copenhagen for their collaboration with Israeli universities complicit in the Gaza genocide ✨🙌✊🇵🇸

Genom att hänvisa till internationell domstol, frånhänder sig Sverige ansvaret för det som pågår i Gaza. Folkrätten är ett decentraliserat system där staterna måste agera när folkrättsbrott begås. Lyssna [2 min]: www.sverigesradio.se/artikel/krit...

4/4 This also means that @sorenmau.bsky.social and I are looking for a place to live near Gothenburg from September 1, 2025. We’re dreaming about renting an old wooden farmhouse in the forest with space to read, think, write and live. Any heads up are highly appreciated ❤️

Här har Sverige dock en hel del gemensamt med Turkiet. Om Joakim Medin i stället var en kurdisk exiljournalist som publicerat exakt samma saker hade han med hemligt underlag blivit klassad som ett säkerhetshot av Säpo, tagen i förvar och utvisad ur landet

As US law-makers threaten to invade the Hague and promise to crush Canada's economy to penalise it for saying it would abide by ICC arrest warrants, this is a good time to recall that the US's 'rules-based international order' is not 'international law'. 1/5

A selection of danish marxism:

Yes, the danish marxists had early (and I’m guessing complete) translations of grundrisse and even Pashukanis… but here in Sweden we had a book series called kontrakurs with covers like this:

Since this beauty got delivered today, I will say a few words about this thesis I’ve written in lieu of introduction. My main argument is that the efforts to introduce responsibility for corporations under international criminal law are bound to criminalise only a very narrow scope of wrongdoing...

International law is like a cruel, but subtle longstanding joke of the power holders, and doctrinal legal scholars are these slightly annoying people that just never seem to get the pun
