There is a necessity for a liberatory politics in the Archipelago known as the Philippines and as anarchists we think Anarchism has the framework to fill this need. The dominant forms of politics we have now are insufficient for developing a liberatory politics in the archipelago. This liberatory politics becomes a necessity because politics in the Philippines is currently an alienating affair—a politics done to people rather than people doing politics. We are also dominated by domineering structures and institutions like the market, capitalism, and the state. Against these we forward the liberatory politics of anarchism for a world beyond domination.

On April 9^th, 2020, three of our comrades were arrested and convicted of a heavy crime for spraying several graffiti that say “sudah krisis, saatnya membakar” (there’s a crisis already, time to burn) and “melawan atau mati konyol” (fight or perish).

Their art is a valid criticisms toward the government’s lack of integrity in mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic and just a petty crime at most.

Pada awal abad 21, gerakan anarkis di Indonesia tetap bubar; kelompok yang berbeda dan aktivis individu mengikuti versi anarkisme dan bentuk taktis yang berbeda. Meskipun demikian, mereka dapat bergabung dalam usaha mereka untuk melaksanakan proyek bersama, seperti mengadakan demonstrasi di hari besar. Dengan demikian, dalam proses pengorganisasian ini, pada tanggal 1 Mei 2007, kelompok-kelompok seperti Affinitas (Yogyakarta), Jaringan Otonomis (Jakarta), Apokalips (Bandung), Jaringan Otonomi Kota (Salatiga), aktivis individu dari Bali dan Semarang, juga beberapa orang dari band punk Jakarta melakukan koordinasi. Penyatuan ini untuk memulai gerakan tertentu yang disebut dengan “Jaringan Anti-Otoritarian.”
