"What is curious about the Philippines and Indonesia is that while punk and anarchism mobilized at the same time, the milieu in Indonesia is quite larger and more variegated than in the Philippines despite their similar trajectories. One hypothesis is that Indonesia’s communist movement was decimated during the genocide of the left, leaving a large vacuum of militancy that anarchism filled.
Meanwhile, the Maoist and Marxist left in the Philippines remains quite active, so new militants gravitate towards what is already built. This hypothesis is consistent with previous theorisation that Marxist and anarchist mobilizations are inversely proportional, meaning if Marxism is highly organized, anarchism has less mobilization, and if Marxism is demobilized, anarchism has the potential for more mobilization. Indeed, the demobilization of the Maoist left in the Philippines in the 90s did coincide with a mobilization of anarchism around the same time, as did the global revival of anarchism since the fall of the old Soviet Union."
