The fifth episode in a series on the history of Indonesia: a hinge in the world system where colonialism and revolution have decisively shaped the trajectory of global history. This installment traces the armed conflicts—civil wars and then confrontations with the Dutch and British — that propelled Indonesia into Sukarno's authoritarian Guided Democracy system and cascading economic crisis. Both the military and the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) became increasingly powerful forces on the eve of 1965–when the armed forces would slaughter the communists and inaugurate Suharto's New Order.

This episode traces a long period of European plunder and domination that began with the Portuguese and then continued, for centuries, under the Dutch—a story stretching from the murderous mercantilism of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) seeking to monopolize the spice trade to a modern colonial administration profiting from plantations, petroleum, and countless commodities.

Labor Radio/Podcast Weekly (1/9): It's the first week back in the New Year—and it feels like five days crammed into three. Chris, Harold, and Patrick return with a packed roundup: geopolitics, strike action, tax-policy sleight of hand, a brand-new show on worker-focused media, year-end reflections, and a fresh new intro. Featured this week: The Dig — Alejandro Velasco, Gabriel Hetland, and Yoletty Bracho join Daniel Denvir to analyze the U.S. attack on Venezuela, Trump's imperial project, oil politics, and how different forces inside Venezuela are responding. Labor Force — Mike Struan checks in on strike action at Telluride Ski Resort, spotlighting leverage, seasonal labor, and the power of unionized workers to shift the balance in a resort economy. (And: good news—workers later ratified a CBA.) Labor Notes Podcast — Labor Notes staff share New Year's organizing resolutions—more phone calls, fewer Zooms, better delegation, and making time to evaluate fights and build for the long haul. Tribunus Plebis — Sean takes on Trump's “no tax on overtime” promise, arguing it's less a benefit than an accounting trick: a rebate structure that rewards overwork while protecting employer power. NEW: The Union Bug — Mel Buer launches a brand-new show with a conversation on why worker-focused media matters, featuring Labor Radio Podcast Network's Harold Phillips and Chris Garlock. Shows You Should Know — Tariff debates, end-of-year wrap-ups, best-of episodes, and a look ahead to 2026, including: The Manufacturing Report, From A to Arbitration, Heartland Labor Forum, Canadian Union Podcast for Employees.

Featuring Melinda Cooper on Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance. Balanced budget conservatism and supply side populism engineered a politics of austerity and budget deficits. Deep cuts to the social wage like welfare reform disciplined labor so severely that Fed chair Alan Greenspan opened the floodgates of easy money confident it would juice the price of assets alone. Assets like homes, the value of which spiraled ever upward until the global financial crisis. The crash made the politics of revolutionary conservatism that dominate us today with MAGA. But the crisis also revealed powerful monetary tools that we could wield to make socialism—if only we organize the power necessary to seize them. The second in a two-part series.

In the wake of Zohran's remarkable victory in New York, organizers all over the country are taking a close look at Chicago under Mayor Brandon Johnson. A Chicago Teachers Union leader elected in 2023, Johnson's win was the culmination of years of militant labor and social movement struggle. But while much has been achieved, Johnson and his allies have also suffered many defeats — and the mayor's approval ratings are alarmingly low. In this episode, three long-time local organizers, including a socialist member of city council, analyze the state of the Left's bid for governing power and what broader lessons it holds.

Featuring Quinn Slobodian on his book Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right. MAGA and its far-right populist siblings around the world aren't just a backlash to neoliberalism. The far-right has also long been animated by extremist mutant neoliberal, anarcho-capitalist, and paleo-libertarian strains that in the 1980s and '90s built a new New Fusionist politics of capitalist extremism — a politics that promoted IQ as the measure of individual and racial value; hard borders for humans with free trade for capital; and gold as the only true currency.

Jeff Schuhrke on his book Blue Collar Empire: The Untold Story of US Labor's Global Anticommunist Crusade. During the Cold War, organized labor's top leadership acted as an agent of the US national security state abroad: undermining left-wing unions, fomenting right-wing coups, and promoting the US-led capitalist order. At home, those same forces destroyed left-wing unions and organizers. That history goes a long way in explaining the weakened, conservative, and ineffectual workers' movement we still confront today.
