Since the 25th until today, the resistance against authorities in Indonesia has been escalating. This is not something that happened suddenly, but rather an explosion from within each individual who feels alienated and deprived—both of their rights and the surrounding nature—over the course of many years. Many people have not only witnessed but have also directly experienced this deprivation.
This anger has grown even more as people witness the chaos, especially seeing the widespread resistance in various cities across Indonesia over the past few days. The anger intensified further after the confirmation that 10 people had lost their lives.
The government has attempted to suppress this anger through various means, such as deploying the military and paramilitary forces, kidnapping activists, and conducting cyber operations to control the situation. All of these actions represent repressive measures against the ongoing resistance.
Therefore, this call for international solidarity aims to spread the spirit of resistance from Indonesia to the outside world, so that everyone understands that this resistance is not limited to Indonesia but has spread far and wide, like a rhizome. Every form of support, no matter how small, is incredibly meaningful to us here.
Long Live Anarchy!
Interesting. Is there a specific cause, a specific motto? There are huge protests planned on the 10th here in France and strikes on the 18th.
Wikipedia tries to trace it.

On 25 August 2025, protests began in Indonesia as part of a larger civil unrest that began in early 2025 over economic frustrations and a proposed hike in housing subsidies for members of parliament. The protests, which were largely concentrated around the capital Jakarta,[42][43][44] grew in intensity and spread nationwide following the killing of Affan Kurniawan, a motorcycle taxi driver who was run over by a Brimob police tactical vehicle on 28 August during a larger violent and excessive crackdown on civil dissent.[42]
Protesters initially demanded the House of Representatives reverse its subsidy schemes and penalize its members who made insensitive statements, as well as pass the Confiscation of Assets Act for lawmakers convicted of corruption.[45] Following the death of Kurniawan, student-led protesters expanded their demands to include a complete and thorough reform of the Indonesian National Police and either the resignation or termination of the chief of police, Listyo Sigit Prabowo.[46]
