- 2/ Our introduction reflects on why Marxism has largely been absent from EU law: 🔹 EU law is often framed as technocratic & consensual, not as a site of class struggle 🔹 The field is unusually supportive of the European project, with limited critical approaches www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
- 3/ The centrepiece of the symposium is a 24,000 word programmatice article laying the groundwork for future approaches to EU law by me, @pashukanist.bsky.social, @nanoboss.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

View full thread9/ It's 100 pages and around 60,000 words of Marxist analysis of the EU. We hope that it signals a break from the past, by introducing ideas and authors that offer a challenge to the very precepts of EU law.

- Reposted by Andy WoodhouseDefinitely 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.

- The paper makes a two-fold argument: 1) the Emissions Trading System has tended to increase the economic wealth of capital by redistributing economic value away from workers. By raising the cost of essential goods, the poorest in society pay the cost of climate action.
- 2: As a method of climate action, the Emissions Trading System retains captial's control over economic production, and seeks to shape that actin the direciton of climate objectives. However, the severity of climate change calls the use of public power to shape the rapid decarbonisation of society.
- Big thanks to @acelg-uva.bsky.social for the fellowship and feedback on the paper Thanks also to @pashukanist.bsky.social @nanoboss.bsky.social @tillyclough.bsky.social, Dimitrios + Maria Link to @europeanlawopen.bsky.social is here: doi.org/10.1017/elo.... Abstract below 👇
- Reposted by Andy WoodhouseHere 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.
- Reposted by Andy WoodhouseNo 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.
- Reposted by Andy Woodhouseread 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...

- Reposted by Andy Woodhouse"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.
- Reposted by Andy WoodhouseWith 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.

- Reposted by Andy WoodhouseI 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.

Today’s toll alone will likely surpass 100 dead and more injured.
