>Hundreds of Indonesians have protested at sites across Jakarta over the death of a man hit by a police vehicle, in the first big test for Prabowo Subianto’s nearly year-old government.
>The man, a motorcycle ride-sharing driver, was hit at the site of violent clashes near parliament on Thursday as police sought to disperse demonstrators protesting about a number of issues including lawmakers’ pay and education funding.
>The protests on Friday afternoon in the capital of south-east Asia’s largest economy prompted a number of schools to close early, and banks and businesses to ask employees to work from home. The military was deployed in some areas, footage broadcast by local media showed.
>Drivers, students and Indonesians from other walks of life gathered outside the country’s parliament and police headquarters in Jakarta to protest on Friday, throwing rocks at the gates and chanting: “Killer. Killer.”
>One of the protesters, Pendi Nasir, a 43-year-old motorcycle driver, called for the police to conduct a transparent investigation into the death of the driver, Affan Kurniawan. “We don’t want our colleagues here to become victims of this riot again,” he told Reuters, urging action against those at fault.>>2452741>*Yaw* Nothing changes, nothing ever happens.Agreed, until they start the Palestine treatment to their citizens or how their Indonesian Trump (Prabowo) embrace his authoritarian predecessor (Suharto).
>>2452759>Nothing good ever happens.That is we want them to do, like how westoid idiots still believe in their govt. They need to genocide their own citizens, so their fucking silent majority joined the revolution
>>2452788>really bad thing will happen which will cause good thing to happenNo, you don't understand, NOTHING GOOD EVER happens. EVER.
You will not accelerationism, you will not cause a crisis, a crisis to lead LE GOOD thing happening will not happen.
>>2452788That is why we must wait for the material conditions for an international proletarian revolution to set in. Or else, the pre-made proletarian state, who's objective is communization and to eventually wither away, will either be invaded by capitalist forces, just like the Paris Commune, or fall in to revisionism, where the theories of Marx and Lenin are used by the party state to legitimize its rule, just like these so called "Already Existing Socialist" states.
The proletariat of North America and Europe still have trust towards their government and towards capitalism, where they are diluted with; religion, patriotism, liberal democracy, bourgeois ideals and by them having more buying power to buy more commodities and by them (kind of) benefiting from the exploitation of the proletariat from poorer and weaker countries, which makes them part of the labor aristocracy.
If such a proletarian state, or more accurately, experiment, is to be created before said material conditions, then we shall make lessons out of it and not glorify it and see it as a how-to-guide like many do with the USSR and Maoist China. They were products of their own material conditions, and our future revolutions will be a result of its own material conditions as well.
