Abstract

This is a contribution to a volume celebrating Marx's analysis of the dictatorship of Emperor Louis Bonaparte and seeking parallels with later developments in the interwar period and the 21st century. I compare the rise of Thatcherism, New Labour, and the Brexit referendum and negotiations in the light of the arguments of Marx and Gramsci. Brexit can be seen as a Bonapartist moment without a Bonaparte to lead it.
