E09 The Dutch Election Special: Why!(Are We Still Doing Government?)

No Marx today! Ryan and Jamie talk about the upcoming Dutch elections, dissecting the peculiar machinery of consensus politics, multi-party chaos, and norm-breaking coalitions. Ryan takes a crash course in things like lijstduwers, informateurs, and gedoogakkoorden, and we have some predictions for the election but of course we also have time for theoretical reflections about the state of Dutch politics. From the rise of norm-defying populism to the moral contortions of the liberal left, we talk about how the Dutch politics mirrors global trends—creeping authoritarianism, political short-termism, and the hollowing of the political imagination. We have a lot to get through so get your stemwijzer ready—set, GO! Dutch Elections · Consensus Politics · Housing Crisis · Coalition Chaos · Becoming Belgian · Political Vision

E08 Renting the Future: Labor, Ursula Huws and Platform Capitalism

We’re back—and this time it’s all about labor. Guiding Ryan and Jamie's conversation is one of the sharpest voices on work, capitalism, and the platform economy: Ursula Huws. From living in a Situationist house with Guy Debord to breaking down today’s gig economy and platform labor, Ursula has seen and done it all. Together, we dig into her typology of labor—paid, unpaid, productive, reproductive—and how these shifting categories help us understand the changes in our economic system. We ask: what does it mean when almost every aspect of life gets folded into capitalism? Is there a way out of the crisis of social reproduction? And what happens when everything, even the future, is up for rent? On your Marx, get set—let’s go!
