Indonesia: Fighting neoliberal globalisation: the new radicalisation
featuring Max Lane (a Direct Action forum)


When: Thursday, July 24, 6:30pm C 8:30pm
Where: Direct Action Centre, suite 72, 65 Myrtle St, Chippendale (next
to Peace Park)

Ten years after the overthrow of Suharto in 1998 by a student and
popular movement, there are signs of a new movement organising itself
and preparing the capacity to mobilise against the current neo-liberal
order. This comes out of both internal renewal of groups from the 1990s,
such as the People's Democratic Party (PRD), and the creation of new
groups, post-1998. Already a first test wave of mobilisations occurred
last May. The new movement is oriented against the system and not just a
dictator, so that forging a unifying ideological perspective is one the
most pressing challenges. 

Finishing Indonesia's revolution combining a program of national
liberation and socialism is emerging as the probable unifying
perspective. In the meantime, other "solutions" are increasingly on
offer, including from religious fundamentalism and pro-business
nationalism. This Direct Action forum will discuss these and a range of
other challenges for emerging mass movement in Indonesia. Max lane is
author of "Unfinished Nation: Indonesia before and after Suharto",
Verso, 2008; a former contributor to Green Left weekly and now
commentator for Direct Action monthly newspaper and an editorial
consultant to the Asia Pacific Solidarity Network website. He is an
Honorary Associate in Indonesian Studies at the University of Sydney.
