Indonesia conjures up images of resorts and attractions for the empty ‘adventures’ of the tourist industry. In fact it is an archipelago of cancerous exploitation which the UK is complicit in to the tune of 2.86 billion dollars a year dispersed in investments in oil and its byproducts (BP), Nickel (for the batteries of the totalitarian ‘green’ transition)and hyper exploitation of labour (the garment industry, Nike in particular).
Last year the elites governing the state in Indonesia awarded themselves a lavish increase in their ‘MPs expenses’ triggering mass protests across the country. In August 2025 an armored vehicle hunting one of these protests crushed a motorcycle delivery driver to death. The archipelago exploded in riotous uproar, burning and destroying every visible symbol of power in its way, spreading everywhere, uncontrollably. Just like in Nepal, Madagascar, Morocco, Iran, and many more, the dispossessed woke up in joyous collusion against the regimes which imprison them.
Since then, anarchists have been designated by judges and TV studios alike as the enemy of the moment. Mass roundups are taking place, torture is widespread, many comrades are in prison, many have been driven into clandestinity. They have clearly been singled out not only due to their impassioned and uncompromising presence among their exploited brothers and sisters in the uprising, but also because of the continuity of their anti-political revolutionary struggle which has spanned self-organised resistance to land grabs to nocturnal assaults on banks and police outpost for years.
We want to share these encounters with anyone who desires to take back their own life. The spirit, action and quality of the Indonesian anarchists is a wellspring of inspiration for proud exiles from the world constructed by the powerful murderers of earth and freedom. In the first place we want to contribute to the continuation of the struggle of the comrades facing down state-terrorism in Indonesia.
In the second place we want to break our complicity with the global war on thought, dignity and nature, and take up our complicity in the social war against all forms of power.
