Student as Producer is set 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. This revolutionary curriculum is framed around
unlearning the law of labor and the institutions through which the law
of labor is enforced, including the capitalist university which seeks
growth and expansion for the sake of growth, neglecting the needs of
students in favor 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 defense. 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 who are seeking ways in which to engage
critically with higher education.
