RE: From Prison To Prison - Tan Malaka Autobiography Review

in Hive Book Club6 days ago

I find him interesting mainly due to his track record and turned into a marxist.

I wonder what makes his communism different from typical asian communism back in the day. Take it for example, the Vietnamese and their communism. Also he once argued that islam could co-exist with communism but at the same time, historically it was also the Islamic groups that eventually took parts in killing the communist supporters 😅. I am sure he also received opposition from the typical european communist at the time.

Either way, nice review 😄

There are many things that I think are in line with yours. It is still a mystery how Tan Malaka really thinks. There should be more books from him that I should read.
