Anarchist and anti-fascist notes 2

Another round-up of interesting items from the anarchist and anarchist-adjacent press.

The uprising in Indonesia

Freedom's flames are burning bright in Indonesia, with precariously employed youth taking to the streets, radicalising a dynamic that included anti-corruption protests (Adili Jokowi/Try Jokowi), student anti-authoritarian protests, #IndonesiaGelap ("Indonesia in Darkness") and then a labour movement led protest wave, HOSTUM ("Eliminate Outsourcing, Reject Low Wages"), but deepening with the police killing of young delivery driver Affan Kurniawan. Some texts:

• Indonesia strikes back (March,  Organise!)
• Indonesia is not in darkness (July, Organise!)
• Dark Nights track the uprising 

Proto-fascist pogroms in the UK

Slow Burning Fuse publish a class struggle anarchist analysis of the second summer of anti-migrant reaction here in rainy fascist island.  It describes the rise of Reform as a "raft of reaction" assembled from the wreckage of neo-liberal England, and the anti-migrant "protests" as carnivals of protest turned into spectacles of exclusion - authoritarian populism giving vent to the thrill of rebellion without threatening the system's foundations.

The migrant working class in the UK

The Class Work Project's magazine Lumpen has dropped issue 15 on migrant life. Read the editorial at Organise!, read an extract "The Vanished" by Marijam Didžgalvytė, and buy it from Seditionist distro.
