‘Page Against The Machine’

https://www.gofundme.com/f/PATM-housing-support

Hi, my name is Joe Hill and I’m raising money to help my good friends and comrades in Java, who have been forced from their homes due to their decolonial political and community work – publishing anarchist literature, running anti domestic violence workshops and supporting farmers in land rights struggles.

From PATM Indonesia:

In December 2025, an anarchist organizer and publisher based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, was subjected to intimidation, surveillance, and forced displacement following a series of false accusations spread by involving Indonesian police and immigrationnt authorities. The publisher, PATM (Page Against the Machine), is an independent publisher dedicated to translating Indonesian anarchist and decolonial texts into English for a wider global audience. The latest release, Anarchy in Alifuru: The History of Stateless Societies in the Maluku Islands (written by Bima Satria Putra), was published in the UK on August 2025 by Minor Compositions. Another 3 titles are currently in process, the success of which depends on stability of work and home.

The incident began when a visiting foreign friend, legally present in Indonesia, briefly documented a public mural event commemorating International Human Rights Day. Although the event was not a demonstration—therefore he was having no involvement in any protest—and no laws were violated, he was accused of participating in a “demonstration” and labeled as part of an “international anarchist network.” His passport was confiscated, and both he and his host were subjected to prolonged interrogations by immigration authorities. No allegations were substantiated, and the passport was eventually returned after a couple of days. Continue reading “Repression in Yogyakarta (Indonesia)” →

FUCK THEM ALL.

Last night, our friend Pem got snatched by the pigs, and we still don’t know what charges they’ll throw at him. This morning, they’re out there in the media, trying to make a spectacle of mass arrests, calling us “provocateurs” and “outside agitators.” And they’re naming names—our names.

The usual traitor of this post-indrustrial capitalism such as “leftists,” the NGOs, and even the so-called anarchists have betrayed us by becoming the echo chamber of State narratives. They’re dancing in the state’s echo chamber, spreading their lies and slander. They’re parroting the ruling class narrative, blaming the rioters, blaming anyone who dares use insurrectionary tactics to tear down this civilization. The same people who once claimed solidarity now help the state track us down, label us as criminals or outside agitator, and destroy everything we’ve fought for. They even parroting the same narrative of “rioters caused the death of several people”. Yes this you Page Against the Machine. Are you glad now for the massive arrest? YOU ALSO DONT DO SHIT WHEN THE POLICE KILLED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN A FOOTBALL STADIUM. YOUR ILLITERATE ARGUMENT CLEARLY SHOWS THE LIMITATION OF YOUR NANO BRAIN.

Page Against the Machine? (this self-proclaimed anarchist publisher seems to have more than just personal sentiment towards insurrectionary tactics. You know what? FUCK YOU AND YOUR MORALITY. You’ve become nothing more than state-funded hacks. You’ve lost the plot. You’re not anti-authoritarian—you’re just another cog in the machine, shilling for the status quo. Stop blaming the justified anger of the public—especially when that anger stems from real tragedies, like accidental deaths—not from people attacking each other. Don’t twist the truth to suit your image. Keep selling your so-called radical books and posing as a rebellious musician, saying stupid things on stage—but know this: we’re done with fakes like you. We see through it now.

Now, they’re hunting us down. They’re digging through our words, our actions, and our identities to silence us. They think by naming us, by locking us up, by calling us criminals, they can stop the insurrection. But this is far bigger than them. We’re not here to play by their
rules.

Fuck the state. Fuck their cops. Fuck their media. Fuck their NGOs. All of you who sit comfortably in your homes, watching from your screens, pretending to give a shit—you’re part of the problem. You enable this civilization, this industrial system, this death culture, and now you’ve thrown us into the firing line. You don’t get to call yourselves anarchists if you’re backing the very structure that oppresses us.

We are the problem. The pigs are terrified of us because we stand against the very foundations of this system, this world. They want to destroy us? Fine. Let them try. But we won’t stop. We won’t be silent. We won’t go back into the cages they’ve built for us.

FUCK YOU. We’re just getting started.
