Protest Across Indonesia

Protests have once again erupted across Indonesia as students and workers confront rising living costs, austerity, militarisation, and the contradictions of the Prabowo government. This article examines the social and economic forces driving the unrest, situates them within the broader crisis of Indonesian and global capitalism, and argues that lasting change requires more than replacing governments. It makes the case for international working-class solidarity and the building of socialist organisations capable of transforming society.

Scam Slavery in the Death Agony of Capitalism

The harrowing rise of scam slavery in Southeast Asia, where hundreds of thousands are trafficked or baited into fortified compounds to conduct forced digital fraud under the threat of torture and death, is not a criminal anomaly, but a symptom of global capitalism in deep decay, fueled especially by a glut of Chinese capital and its intensifying exploitation of a growingly desperate surplus labor force from all over the world.

Perjanjian Kolektif CSB HSBC–NUBE ke-6 Termeterai: Kemenangan separa, ke arah mana seterusnya?

Rundingan sememangnya boleh menghasilkan kemenangan dan perlindungan, namun terhad jika dijadikan strategi tunggal. Tanpa tekanan industri dari akar umbi pekerja, ia akan tergendala dan seringkali ditunggang oleh bos dan menteri. Maka aksi industri dan mobilisasi bebas daripada majikan dan kerajaan kekal sebagai alat perjuangan utama buat kelas pekerja.

CA CSB ke-6 adalah satu kemenangan sebenar. Ia meningkatkan gaji, memperluaskan perlindungan sosial, dan menyerlahkan kekuatan organisasi pekerja.
Namun ia juga mendedahkan had strategi dan taktik perjuangan sedia ada di bawah sistem kapitalisme. Kerajaan selalu akan berpihak kepada para pemodal. Konsesi hanya akan diperoleh susulan tekanan yang berlarutan.
Oleh itu, perjuangan ke hadapan tidak boleh berhenti di meja rundingan semata-mata. Kita harus memperkukuh organisasi akar umbi pekerja yang mampu merintis jalan perjuangan yang lebih mandiri dan militan.

Hari Pekerja 2026 dan Krisis Kapitalisme

Dalam suasana sambutan Hari Pekerja tahun ini, kelas pekerja sedunia sedang berhadapan dengan krisis kapitalisme yang semakin mendalam serta ketegangan geopolitik dunia yang semakin meruncing. Peperangan dan konflik bersenjata terus merebak dari Palestin, Sudan, Republik Demokratik Congo hingga Myanmar, sementara ancaman perang dunia semakin nyata melalui peperangan di Timur Tengah dan Ukraine. Jutaan rakyat pekerja dan golongan miskin menjadi mangsa perang, pemindahan paksa, kebuluran serta kemiskinan yang semakin parah. Dalam masa yang sama, krisis kos sara hidup, serangan terhadap hak pekerja, pengangguran, krisis hutang serta dasar penjimatan ekonomi terus menekan kehidupan rakyat di hampir semua negara hari ini.

5 Reports of Rape Every Day: What is to be done while Parliament laments low prosecution rate?

Between 2015 and 2025, Malaysia witnessed a staggering 17,609 reported rape cases — an average of five rape reports every single day… Only 7,090 of these cases, or roughly 40%, resulted in charges being filed… in an earlier decade only about 16% of reported rape cases were taken to court and only about 2.7% resulted in convictions… formal figures greatly understate the reality because many victims never file reports at all… only around 10% of rape incidents ever reach law enforcement, consistent with about 8–11% globally… Most crucially, a study of 304 sexual assault survivors… found that a large majority (about 76%) of victims were from a low socio‑economic class… Lower‑income individuals often have fewer resources, less social support, weaker bargaining power within households, and reduced access to protective services or legal recourse — all of which materially condition their exposure to violence.
