Talha and my posts are complements: his a crystalline theoretical critique in a critical Marxian strand; mine a concrete working out of what LPE based on that kind of historically-specific institutional political economy would look like applied to Kessler's sole legal example.
Over at Balkinization, the symposium on Jeremy Kessler's “Law and Historical Materialism” continues, with an incredible set of entries from @mddimick, @YBenkler, and Talha Syed.

The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the coming of the dusk.
New from Talha Syed and from me in @TheJLPE: Reconstructing Class Analysis. Read here: escholarship.org/uc/item/3nw277….
the half paragraph before equally challenging and thought provoking for LPE scholarship.
Good stuff here on the assumptions baked into much legal and policy work, including much LPE work.
Critical asymmetry: Republican will-to-power, aiming to shape public consciousness, while liberals aim to strengthen platforms' control of bad speech subject to US regulation, ignoring the near certainty of US authoritarian cycles in wielding that power.
📢NEW FROM ME! On the TikTok ban, the danger of abandoning defense of speech to extremists, & how the liberal tendency to assume a just state "outside the scope of this paper" leads to confused law/policy that can exacerbate the problems platforms pose. lpeproject.org/blog/social-me…
Great set of thoughts. I'm most persuaded by @Elibietti and @sanjayjahlee, seeing this as normal statecraft in modern capitalist states: harnessing nationalism to advance domestic profit-reaping elites while diverting efforts from democratic or egalitarian public interventions.
Today, the blog asked six tech and regulatory experts - @GaneshSitaraman, @Elibietti, @sanjayjahlee, @ZephyrTeachout, @nikenberger, & @AnupamChander - to share initial reactions to the pending TikTok legislation. lpeproject.org/blog/six-react…

This is the heart of it: deflection to "neutral" technological forces addressable as technocratic challenges, rather than the anomie of neoliberalism depriving the life prospects of millions, requiring structural change in the political economy of democratic market societies.
Large swaths of different kinds of elites continue to be invested in the narrative that the defining problem of our time isn't how elites exercise power and use their privileges but... the public's supposed susceptibility to misinformation? Funny how that deflects responsibility
