The Poetry of the Future: Law, Marxism, and Social Change

There is no singular Marxist theory of law, rights, and the state. In line with the general debates over the Marxist tradition there are many Marxist approaches. Even so, this chapter argues that in approaching the vexed question of the relationship of Marxism to law, rights, and the state, we gain a keener understanding when we foreground the central idea that the 'point' of Marxism is to understand the world in order to change it. In contrast to other analyses, Pashukanis, Althusser, Poulantzas, etc., this paper argues that it is necessary to explore the complex relationship between the form and content of law and consider ways in which this can be engaged with to support and advance movements for fundamental social change.
