I hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions about the situation there to be better able to understand it.

How big is the revolutionary leftist movement there?

Which ideological tendency has the most support and influence (anarchism, Maoism, Trotskyism etc.)?

Is the ideological tendency with the most support and influence revolutionary or reformist?

How big is the revolutionary leftist movement there?not big enough to bring a real revolution. we separated into many groups from each city. but there is some growing leftist group,rumah kiri for example and Jaringan Anti Otoritarian ( Anti Authoritarian Network)


Which ideological tendency has the most support and influence (anarchism, Maoism, Trotskyism etc.)?i know some anarchist group in Jakarta, Malang and Surabaya. and i also found some trotskyist (in a little group though).


Is the ideological tendency with the most support and influence revolutionary or reformist?for the ideological tendency, the most support (as far as i know) is only from the reformist. as i mention above, we still don't have enough strength to bring a real revolution.
