Eugene Schofield-Georgeson synthesises, amongst other things, a juridification of social relationships, the centrality of contract as a means of repatterning those relationships, a synergy between neoliberal economic theory and law, and an opportunistic legal indeterminacy that can justify most outcomes.

One annoying tendency in modern political discourse is right wingers and centrists calling people communist.
They don’t know what the word means.
A communist believes that the means of production should be owned and controlled by the proletariat: the workers.
If you don’t believe this, you aren’t a communist. Wanting universal healthcare doesn’t mean you’re a communist unless you think the health workers themselves (or, just perhaps, the party or government) should control the healthcare providers.
Wanting universal healthcare, in the modern context, makes you a socialist.
Now there’s a lot of argument around what it means for the proletariat to control the means of production. If the “Party” controls it, like in the USSR or pre-Deng China, is that communism, or is it just old fashioned government authoritarianism?
