Anarchists in the Indonesian Insurrections of August–September 2025

From The Commoner

On August 28 in Jakarta, Indonesia, the police deliberately ran over a 21-year-old delivery driver named Affan Kurniawan with an armored truck. Indonesians have been protesting the government and its various scandals since the ascension of Prabowo Subianto, an open authoritarian and son-in-law of the dictator Suharto. Affan's murder was the final spark needed that led to mass unrest and insurrection against the government across the country.

The Apostles & Militant Anarcho-Punk: An Interview with Chris Low

From DIY Conspiracy

Around 1980 to 1983/84, there really were no others who espoused insurrectionary, direct-action anarchism other than us... the Assassins of Hope, The Sinyx, Ian Bone’s Living Legends, and Ian ‘Slaughter’ Rawes with his fanzine Pigs for Slaughter. And, of course, Conflict when they became more vocal and pro–direct action slightly later. You could certainly never have imagined anarcho-punks being involved with something like antifa back then. Also, we were involved with the Anarchist Youth Federation (AYF), which was an attempt to unite all the non-pacifist bands, fanzines, and activists affiliated with the anarcho-punk scene.
