Show notes

On pro-family politics, and the US election and labour.

[Patreon Exclusive - in association with Damage magazine]

Dustin Guastella talks to Phil and Alex about what the election of Trump will mean for US labour organisations. We then move on to Dustin's proposal for progressive pro-family policies.

  • What actually is "the family" today? 

  • Social democrats are proud of policies but wary of encouraging family growth. Why?

  • What would pro-family policies look like, what would they do, and what might their negative effects be?

  • Is the family not a pillar for the reproduction of authoritarian norms?

  • How do we explain the fertility crisis in global terms?

  • How do we confront the growing marketisation of everything?
