ABSTRACT
[A]ctually we’ve never became independent. We thought we could make everything more just, but we were 300 years behind. That makes it a difficult struggle. The other side was stronger. The capitalist system has established itself everywhere. But as long as this system prevails, the whole world will go to ruin and the whole environment will be destroyed. The jungles of Sumatra, of Kalimantan, of the whole of Africa, are all being decimated. – Cisca Pattipilohy, quoted in David van Reybrouck, Revolusi (2020: 516-517)
