Mike Neary's account finds itself set in a particular moment of
time: between the student protests and urban riots that erupted in
England in 2010-2011 and the 2017 General Election, during which
students and young people played a significant role by protesting
the politics of austerity and by supporting the politics of
Corbynism. The revolutionary curriculum in this book is framed
around unlearning the law of labour and the institutions through
which the law of labour is enforced, including the capitalist
university which, more and more, seeks growth and expansion for the
sake of growth, neglecting the intellectual and educational needs
of students in favour of the needs of the capitalist state. Through
thought experiments and reference to the work of the Soviet legal
theorist, Evgeny Pashukanis, Student as Producer searches for
solutions to how cooperatives might be brought about by a sense of
common purpose and social defence. This is a practical, probing
response to the ongoing assault on higher education by the social
power of Money and the State. Mike Neary grounds his answers in a
version of Marx's social theory known as 'a new reading of Marx',
as advanced by authors such as Werner Bonefeld and Moishe Postone.
The theory is applied to various aspects of pedagogy, criminology,
and political sociology to create a curricula for revolutionary
teaching that will aid activists and those involved with
co-operative movements who are seeking ways in which to engage
critically with higher education.
