The originator of Indonesian Communistism

#### Dear serey all Communism is considered as forbidden in Indonesia, because this understanding separates politics, culture and religion. This notion is not in line with the people and ideology of Indonesia, namely Pancasila, where there is writing, the first principle of which is "Godhead of the One", considered to be limiting in terms of religion and culture, communist ideology was dissolved in 1965 by General Suharto with policies Gestapu (September Thirty Movement) https://i.imgur.com/9j07dQw.jpg However, when viewed in terms of language, the meaning of communism is not as scary as imagined, communism is an ideology relating to philosophy, politics, social, and economics whose main purpose is the creation of communist societies with socio-economic rules based on joint ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes. money, and country. In language as simple as social change starts from workers (workers), organizing workers can only be successful through party struggle. Therefore, the original intention of the establishment of the communist party was to bring prosperity to the workers, the people, and to distance from arbitrary capitalist hands to the workers. There are many misconceptions in the emergence of communism in Indonesia, some say because of the influence of the Soviet Union, China and even Germany or known as the Nazi leader Hittler. In fact, communism in Indonesia accidentally arose, and its originator surprised us. ##### Who is the Actor Actually the Originator of the Indonesian Communist Party? https://i.imgur.com/BV5nPWy.gif Indeed, the Indonesian Communist Party does not directly stand up, the originator and bearer of communism is Henk Sneevliet, who is he and which country comes from? Quoted from Soe Hok Gie's workbook titled "Under the Red Lantern" Henk Sneevliet was a native of the Netherlands, he was born in Rotterdam on May 13, 1883 with his real name Hendricus Josephus Franciscus Marie Sneevliet. Henk Sneevliet was actually only a railroad worker in 1900 and was a member of the Sociaal Democratische Arbeiders Partij (SDAP) if translated into Indonesian depth was the Social Democratic Labor Party. Sneevliet was also active in the Dutch trade union, and in 1911 he became its chairman. In the union, Sneevliet was one of the radical leaders. There was a clash of disagreements when an international strike was carried out by the workers at that time, Sneevliet also moved to the Dutch East Indies in 1913 which is currently called Indonesia, because he was disappointed by the treatment that did not support his action. In the Dutch East Indies Sneevliet joined the editorial staff of the newspaper namely the Soerabaiaasch Handelsblad and then moved to Semarang in May 1913 to replace D.M.G. Koch as newspaper secretary Semarangse Handelsvereninging. A sense of concern and compassion arose when Sneevliet saw laborers being treated unfairly by the Dutch Colonial Government, then he became a member of VSTP, Vereeniging van Spoor en Tramwegpersoneel (Trains and Trades Unions), a unique trade union because its members consisted of people people of the Netherlands and Indonesia. In 1914, he co-founded the Association for Social Democratic Indies (ISDV), and later became a Communist Party and "Marxism-Leninism" in which the first party in Asia was communist. The ISDV is entirely anti-capitalist and has taken a lot of resistance against the Dutch colonial regime and the Indonesian elite who have special rights. He realized that the ISDV party was in danger of disbanding due to the lack of sympathizers and members of the masses, Sneevliet also thought it was better to coalition with a large mass and cooperate with each other to defeat the policies next to the Dutch colonial side. ISDV joined the Sarekat Islam in 1916, Sneevliet succeeded, which made the ISDV members become members of the SI (Sarekat Islam) and instead made SI members become members of the ISDV, this strategy was used to make the ISDV and SI mass seen in Dutch colonial eyes. Sneevliet succeeded in taking over the young SI leader to become the leader of the ISDV, one of these young men was Darsono and Semaun. The power of this understanding grew stronger, hearing the news that the Russian Empire had collapsed, which was imperialist and capitalist by hungry women and workers holding a demonstration while singing the song Mareseillase (Mars Communist) and becoming the Union State of the Soviet Socialist Republic. Sneevliet was moved to write articles in order to arouse the spirit of the Indonesian people. He wrote an article titled Zegepraal (victory) and submitted it to the editor of De Indier to be publis. This was captured by Dutch Colonial, Sneevliet was dragged to court on charges of incitement and subversive activities against the government. Sneevliet was later sentenced to 9 months in prison after which he was canceled. The cancellation was nothing but a tactic so that Sneevliet immediately left the Dutch East Indies and died in the year April 13, 1942 due to the death penalty by Nazi soldiers who participated in fighting against Germany. Even though he was of Dutch nationality, Sneevliet's figure was credited with fighting his own people, which Dutch Colonial acted violently against workers, peasants and small people. It is on this basis that more and more members of communism in Indonesia see the figure of Sneevliet. __ __ #### Thanks @sunbahri
