Challenging SpaceX on the US–Mexico border: Value struggles against racial authoritarian neoliberalism
SpaceX’s launch site on the US–Mexico border, in the Rio Grande Valley, is an ideal example of the interconnected relationship between racial capitalism and authoritarian neoliberalism, the neoliberal expropriation of spaces and communities, and the tapestries of resistance weaved against these processes. The privatisation of space exploration is an illustration of the development of authoritarian modes of governance that are designed to facilita…
On the project of a Marxist-feminist international: A Project in Movement
This interview with Frigga Haug explores the thirteen thesis which were developed collectively during three different international conferences and Frigga Haug authored the 13 theses. The goal was to make the feminist movement sustainable with a Marxist spirit and to bring Marxism to life. The theses are a work in progress, a framework for the foundation of a Marxist-feminist international, they are sustainable enough for them to stand the test t…
Life and growth of the Thirteen Marxist Feminist Theses
The fourth international Marxist feminist conference was the most international and best attended with around 700 participants, including Silvia Federici, Nancy Fraser, Tithi Bhattacharya, Lorena Cabnal, Ochy Curiel, Ana Cecilia Dinerstein, Elsa Dorlin, Jules Falquet, and Frigga Haug. The main themes of the panels established continuity with the previous conferences, from debates on intersectionality which overlap in various fields with practical…

Trump’s authoritarian neoliberal governance and the US-Mexican border
This article considers how US border policy and the rhetorical use of the construction of a border wall between the United States and Mexico expands our understanding of the authoritarian neoliberal reorganization of the state and processes of capitalist accumulation during the Trump Presidency. Our argument makes an important contribution to the literature by examining how Trump's Border Wall project is an advanced mode of authoritarian neoliber…
Health movements in the age of austerity: Rescaling resistance in Spain and the United Kingdom
Since the outbreak of the global financial crisis that started in 2007/8, austerity measures have been promoted in many European countries. Frequently justified as a form of crisis-management, these measures have been used to further privatise and deregulate welfare systems, as well as to reinforce the isolation of certain decision-making arenas from democratic processes. At the same time, they have also generated new strategic opportunities for …
Anti-austerity between militant materialism and real democracy: Exploring pragmatic prefigurativism
The anti-austerity movement that emerged in the wake of the 2008 global economic crisis and 2010 Eurozone crisis, and which forms part of the ‘age of austerity’ that came after those crises, was underpinned by a set of ideas and practices that we refer to here as ‘pragmatic prefigurativism’. Whilst the anti-austerity movements typically rejected formal ideologies such as Marxism and anarchism, nevertheless pragmatic prefigurativism can be underst…
Beyond Defeat and Austerity: Disrupting (the Critical Political Economy of) Neoliberal Europe
Much of the critical discussion of the European political economy and the Eurozone crisis has focused upon a sense that solidaristic achievements built up during the post-war period are being continuously unravelled. Whilst there are many reasons to lament the trajectory of change within Europe’s political economy, there are also important developments, trends and processes which have acted to obstruct, hinder and present alternatives to this per…

Challenging the age of austerity: Disruptive agency after the global economic crisis
Disrupting the European Crisis: A Critical Political Economy of Contestation, Subversion and Escape
Central to much of the critical political economy (CPE) literature is a declared focus on emancipation. Yet, rather than highlight sources and instances of activity that might result in emancipatory outcomes, much of the CPE literature focuses on relations of domination and the way in which these are sustained and (re)produced. In contrast, and drawing on autonomist Marxism, we argue that an emancipation-oriented approach needs to focus upon the …
