"Resignations are rising because people are seeing more job listings, not because they’re feeling more Marxist."

All the recent union pushes are just coincidence... I guess.

    and anarchism sprung up in its place

    uhhh, seems like it worked at keeping Indonesia a poor and right-wing country mostly? How big is anarchism there?

      I have no numbers to give you. It has a presence unlike in most of the global south, is my understanding; they had some big protests a couple years ago and I could clearly see them in the pictures and videos (such as here ).

      A poor substitute for the old communist party, but that could also be due to them having to start from scratch.

      I'm just making the case that crushing Marxism ultimately only causes class conflict to manifest in other forms, rather than totally eradicating it.

        It's a good example 👍

        I think part of it is just that, like is often said by communists, you can't kill the idea (or "revolution"). Unless they completely isolated themselves from the world. And people have heard of communism no matter what, unless they killed every working age adult.
