My Old Drawing about Integration of Papua in Indonesia

This is my old drawing, I drew this in 2018. The theme of this drawing is about the integrity of Papua in Indonesia. At that time I think Papua must be integrated in Indonesia but now I don't think so.

This photo was taken on Friday, 29 July, 2022 at 00.16 with Samsung Galaxy A10s in my mother's house.

The Indonesian government shouldn't force the people of Papua to obey the nationality doctrine from Jakarta. For our current world, nationality and is not really important and we have to encourage internationality.

I think the special autonomy for Papua given by the Indonesian central government has 'failed'. The government (led by Joko Widodo) is focused on infrastructure development in Papua but the government seems to have forgotten or deliberately forgotten the development of the quality of its human resources. Maybe infrastructure is only useful for investors who want to gain access to economic resources in Papua.

Anthropologically, New Guinea (including West Papua which is administered by Indonesia) is considered part of Melanesia region. The concept of "NKRI harga mati" or in English "NKRI (abbreviation of Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia or Unitary State of Indonesia) is fixed price" is not really important and it seems obsolete now. 

My points are that Papuan people must be prosperous and advanced in various fields (because their HDI is very backward compared to other provinces in Indonesia) and we must not impose nationalism now as if the concept of nationality of a country is forever and we should impose internationality.

We Could Be A Leftist and A Rightist at The Same Time

What a strange time when what we called the left was not on the left, the right was not on the right, and the centre was not on the centre. However, this is how politics should be understood and work. Politics must be all encompassing, for everyone, for the common good. The political spectrum is important, it is useful for classifying and determining our political positions. However, it cannot be rigid. Each corner of the political spectrum is not rigid and completely separate from the others. Hence why there are many models of this. People can be on the 'left' or on the 'right' in looking at certain things. Too many variables are needed to truly determine an individual's political position. Most people see other people's political positions only superficially, they only see what they see, just on the surface. So, it shouldn't matter if people accuse you of being leftist or rightist. Even so, it is still potentially dangerous. I personally avoid any politica...

For Hardline Communists and Marxists Who Don't Like Me Because of My Views Against Revolution

Those people, especially hardline communists and Marxists, who always talk about revolution or the necessity of carrying out a revolution, are like children. Like a child jumping on a chair and shouting "Revolution, revolution, revolution". If their purpose in carrying out a revolution is only to overthrow capitalism and realize socialism, it would be better for them not to do that. They think revolution is the only way, so dogmatic. There is no urgency at all to carry out a revolution. The revolution will happen if it has to happen. Social conditions determine a revolution to occur, and if a revolution occurs it must be final and truly change society. Revolution is not viable for now and day by day it becomes less and less relevant. Socialism is an inevitability and it does not have to be realized through revolution. Socialism can be realized through many reforms and system improvements. This includes of what I call a revision of capitalism, which makes capitalism softer and...
