Central Committee statement: In Indonesia - Para Buruh Seluruh Dunia, Bersatulah!

The Revolutionary Communist Organisation extends its solidarity with the struggles of Indonesian workers and youth in their fight for democracy against the ruling nationalist coalition in Jakarta.


Despite legal challenges and massive demonstrations in the street, the Indonesian People’s Representative Council (DPR) is seeking to tighten electoral laws in order to consolidate power around the ruling clique, which is currently passing the torch between the Widodo Presidency and the former general Prabowo Subianto. Workers and youth cannot and will not accept further limitations to the weak institutions of the Indonesian Republic. In response to widespread protests, the police have been deployed and many militants have been arrested. Freedom for all political prisoners!


In Indonesia, the democratic struggle must be carried all the way to the end, with the establishment of a democratic and social republic in Indonesia, as well as in Malaysia, Papua, Timor, and the Philippines. In Australia, workers should look to the democratic struggles of the Indonesian working class, and work to strengthen the relationship between Indonesian and Australian workers organisations. In addition, Australian communists must seek to establish connections to the limited Indonesian communist movement, in the hope to establish parties in both countries.


Resolution

●      Solidarity with the Workers and Youth of Indonesia! Smash the Election Laws! For a Democratic and Social Republic!

●      Australian workers organisations must extend their solidarity to the workers movement in Indonesia, and repudiate the relationship between the Labor Albanese government and the Widodo government.
