1 The critique of rights Marx and Marxism
2 Equal right and exchange relation Although individual A feels a need for the commodity of individual B, he does not appropriate it by force, nor vice versa, but rather recognise one another reciprocally as proprietors, as persons whose will penetrates their commodities. Accordingly, the juridical moment of the Person enters here all inherent contradictions of bourgeois society appear extinguished... and bourgeois democracy even more than the bourgeois economists takes refuge in this aspect. (Gr:243, 251)
3 Freedom, equality and the exchange relation The sphere of commodity exchange is a very Eden of the innate rights of man the realm of Freedom, Equality, Property and Bentham: Freedom because both buyer and seller of a commodity... are determined only by their own free will... Equality because each enters into relations with the other as with a simple owner of commodities and they exchange equivalent with equivalent. Property because each disposes only what is his own. And Bentham because each looks only to his own advantage. The only force bringing them together is the selfishness, the gain and the private interest of each. (Capital 1: 280)
4 Formal equality, social inequality Equal right, Marx argued, is a right of inequality in its content like every right (Marx 1968: 320). if one grows impoverished and the other grows wealthier then this is of their own free will.
5 Worker and capitalist a worker who buys a loaf of bread and a millionaire who does the same appear in this act as simple buyers... all other aspects are extinguished (Gr : 251).
6 Right to product of one s own labour Originally, the rights of property seemed... grounded in man s own labour Now, however, property turns out to be the right on the part of the capitalist to appropriate the unpaid labour of others or its product and the impossibility of the worker of appropriating his own product. The separation of property from labour becomes the necessary consequence of a law that apparently originated in their identity. (Capital 1: 729)
7 Inversion the law which presupposes that we own the products of our labour turns... through a necessary dialectic into an absolute divorce of property and appropriation of alien labour without exchange (Gr: 514).
8 Life project For Marx the connection of political economy with the state, law, morality, civil life, etc. is only dealt with in so far as Political Economy itself professes to deal with these subjects. (Engels) Marx s life-project : to present one after another a critique of law, of morality, politics, etc.... and then finally... to show the connection of the whole.
9 Mere semblance Marx contrasts value as real appearance with rights as mere semblance What difficulties and misinterpretations does this lead to?
10 Evgeni Pashukanis Law and Marxism 1924
11 Pashukanis' central claims Social foundation of law in commodity exchange Law as bourgeois social relation Law as historically specific and transitory form of authority
12 Social foundation of law in commodity exchange a) subject of rights (person) as owners of commodities b) legal relation between subjects as expression of exchange relation between owners of commodities c) fetishism of legal subject alongside fetishism of commodities d) legal regulation required for regulation of society based on private interests
13 Rights as bourgeois social relation a) inequality: merely formal equality presupposes substantive inequality b) fetishism: social relations between people appear as intrinsic quality of persons c) abstraction: abstraction of legal subject from real social relations d) competition: rights premised on mutual conflict between isolated legal subjects e) alienation: law as impersonal power above society f) mystification: rights veils class basis of society
14 Law as transitory form of authority Development of law with generalised commodity production and capitalist society Primitive forms of law go back deep into history - defence of rights through vi et armis In capitalist society base is constructed for communal, non-legal relations e.g. solidarity of labour and cooperative labour in factory Transcendence of law in communist society replaced by technical forms of authority Technical regulation based on real identity of interests among members of collectivity seeking same goal
15 Critique of Pashukanis Social base of law not in commodity exchange but in commodity production Legal formalism - neglect substance of law - homogenise different forms of law Inadequate conception of relation between law and the state and of technical regulation
16 Edward Thompson Social historian Warwick University Inc Whigs and Hunters 1975
17 Thematics Cutting the branches of the liberty tree Critique of legal nihilism dressed up as Marxism Unity of experience Critique of bureaucratic statism dressed up as Marxism Rule of law as an unqualified human good
