Thesis

by Tan Malaka

Melalui Thesis, Tan Malaka membatalkan putusan prambanan, sebuah rencana pemberontakan PKI pada tahun 1926. Di masa itu Tan Malaka adalah Ketua Komintern (Komunis Internasional) untuk wilayah Asia Timur). Dalam buku ini Tan menjabarkan perbedaan pemikiran Trotsky dengan dirinya. Trotsky meyakini revolusi permanen (revolusi global) sebelum dibentuknya pemerintahan diktator proletar global. Sedangkan Tan sejalan dengan Stalin bahwa pemerintahan komunis dapat dibentuk di masing-masing negara secara otonom. Namun Tan juga bertentangan dengan Stalin dalam konsep absolutisme Rusia terhadap komintern.

About the author

Tan Malaka (1894 - February 21, 1949) was an Indonesian nationalist activist and communist leader. A staunch critic of both the colonial Dutch East Indies government and the republican Sukarno administration that governed the country after the Indonesian National Revolution, he was also frequently in conflict with the leadership of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI), Indonesia's primary radical political party in the 1920s and again in the 1940s.

A political outsider for most of his life, Tan Malaka spent a large part of his life in exile from Indonesia, and was constantly threatened with arrest by the Dutch authorities and their allies. Despite this apparent marginalization, however, he played a key intellectual role in linking the international communist movement to Southeast Asia's anti-colonial movements. He was declared a "hero of the national revolution" by act of Indonesia's parliament in 1963.
