Transnational Class Formations, European Crisis and the Silent Revolution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article analyzes the European crisis and the reconfiguration of neoliberal governance in light of efforts to deepen integration via what European Union President Manuel Barroso (2010) called a ‘Silent Revolution’ to create a new ‘economic government’ that could better manage crises and shape development alternatives. The article places recent developments in a longer-term perspective involving post-Second World War geopolitics, transatlantic class formations, extension of the world market and recent, fundamental crises of capitalism. It argues that in the current situation, the relative unity of Europe’s ruling classes contrasts with the relative fragmentation of subaltern forces, mainly along national-popular lines. This situation shapes (but does not necessarily determine) the ‘limits of the possible’ for political agency in Europe, and it helps explain the persistence of neoliberalism in the European Union in a situation of organic crisis, where the relations of force remain contested, open and politically unstable.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
