On November 12, 1926, the Dutch East Indies colonial government was hit by a nationwide rebellion by the communist party. The rebellion did not occur all at once and lasted until 1927 in Sumatra. At that time, the communist parties in the Dutch East Indies were heavily influenced by the idea of anarchism.

Response to false claim in Jakarta + real ATM sabotage video

Received via email

After we see from the screenshot [in the article], it can be seen that this anonymous person is just a loser who dreams of individual rebellion at night, then quickly appreciates himself because the communique has successfully published and circulated on social media. Of course we need to question, why someone would dare to make such a false claim, apart from cases like ITS which are proto-fascist.

A Brief History of Anarchism in Indonesia

From Anarchist Studies Blog by Gloria Truly Estrelita, Jim Donaghey, Sarah Andrieu and Gabriel Facal

In the Indonesian language, the term ‘anarki’ is synonymous with the riotous behaviour of a disparate range of groups, including everything from Islamic fundamentalists to football fans. [...] The authorities use the term ‘anarko-sindikalis’ to differentiate this form of anarchism from the ‘anarki’ of other rioters, and groups identified as such suffer persecution. This contemporary scenario, and the longstanding ‘red scare’ in Indonesia, means that speaking out on the anarchist movement remains delicate.

Soe Hok Gie’s diary

from coconuts.co By Kevin Ng

The life of celebrated Chinese-Indonesian intellectual, anarchist, and activist

For many, it’s difficult to determine Gie’s political beliefs, as he had never committed to any mainstream political groups. But it was apparent that he was, first and foremost, a humanist, as well as anti-authoritarian and anti-establishment. In Gie’s obituary written by political scientist and friend Benedict Anderson in a journal, Gie used to refer to himself as an “anarchist,” often saying it with a smile. “I write in part simply to relieve my sense of nausea at our condition. Sometimes, though, I feel as if it’s all useless. I feel that all there is in my articles is a few firecrackers. And I’d like to fill them with bombs,” Gie wrote to Anderson in a letter.

Like Bennedict Spinoza saw God not in a separate realm, but always 'exists' everywhere. This concept is suitable for radical movements, especially anti-authoritarians, to understand the reality in the era of globalization of capital. To critically understand every root of hierarchy and domination and capture a vision of equality with radical differences, in order to carry out a new strategy towards a life free from the shackles of capital and the state.

Indonesian Black Cross Statement: the Repression of Counter-Information

Statement of the Indonesian Black Cross (WA) Against the Repression of International Counter-Information

The same thing also happened in Indonesia, the silencing and repressiveness of the counter-information media has been increasingly encouraged by the Indonesian Police, such as the creation of a “cyber police” or social media police, which one of their aims are to isolate the spread of information not only anarchist networks but other political dissidents and those who have the courage the criticize the state.

via AMW

About four days ago when we found out an anarchist, Toby Shone, was arrested on the charges of terrorism (for fucking running a website) and possession of level A drugs, we attacked a local police station in which one of the pigs got burned in a city, located in Central Java. We do not know why there are no media coverage and we intentionally postponed the communique because of several reasons.
