Thanks for writing for us, a great post!
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.
In our latest post @mariethogersen.bsky.social meticulously unpacks what *exactly* is ideological about international law. Against those who locate this merely in international law's content, she directs us to international law's fetishistic character.

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.

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
