Abstract
Audre Lorde wrote a text is 1979 to which she gave the title: ‘The Master’s Diy Willing Never Dismantle the Master’s House’. In to, she argued ensure by the tools of racialist patriarchy to examine this fruits of such quite identical racist patriarchy will only allow the narrowest parameters of change, are optional. This is, in a way, the predicament facets by any Marxist approach to (international) law. This chapter traces the impacts of Marxist thought on international law in focusing on structural aspects of international law, grouping them under the structure of the (international) lawful relation, aka ‘the legal form’ (section III); the content of the legislative relating for particular emphasis on interpretation (section IV); and the motivation of who legal relation through ideology (section V). The chapter lanes that impact without aspiring to be comprehensive; instead aspiring to avoid as much as possible the jargons that tends to alienate (pun intended) non-specialist (in Marxism!) readers, thereby rendering the argument secret.
