Brief profile of The Working People's Association (PRP)


Background
PRP was founded in the National Meeting for Left Unification on May 13th - 15th 2004 in Surakarta, Solo, Indonesia. All participants in the Meeting unanimously agreed on the formation of the Preparation Committee for Unification which will work nationally. This preparation is henceforth called the Working People's Association - Preparation Commitee (KP-PRP).

The meeting was based on one fundamental issue, the concern for the fact that, amid the rising politics of the ruling class, the working people is losing their identity and unable to recognizes their own interest in face of the political decision of the government which sides with the capital owner. In other words, the Surakarta National Meeting conclude that rebuilding the class politics of the working people is an immediate task to be carried on by the organization that will be borne out of the meeting.

PRP then held its first congress on September 1st - 4th in Jakarta. Among the many important resolutions agreed on the Congress, one of the most important is the resolution to put the organisation's programme further as well as to enforce PRP's programme to build a working class' party. The party building strategy of PRP will be developed in further national meetings of PRP.

The first congress of PRP has renewed the commitment to realized a working class politics in Indonesia. The experiences from the last two years has shown various problems that can be serious hurdles in this struggle, however the organization's successes to rise after facing all these problems is a valuable asset for the long journey ahead to the future, when the bigger dan harder hurdles will obstruct the working people's will to seek their own prosperity.

Fundamentals and Principles
Our fundamentals is the scientific principles of socialism and staying close to the mass line.

Our principles of action are class struggle, which are:

1. A politics of class will always fuse the proletariat to the economical, political, and theoretical  power (in ideology and consciousness).

2. The struggle for power in economy, politics, and ideology is done through the organisation of proletarian party, however when the time comes, the People's Council will be the only tools of the proletariat to hold real power.

3. A party can only be called a proletarian party if and only if it is dominated by the proletariat. Other classes inside the party is under the leadership of the proletariat and focus their struggle for the victory of the proletariat.

4. One of the condition for this domination of the proletariat is on the "class composition" in the 5 organisation, a proletarian party must be able "class composition" within itself to be dominated by the proletariat.

5. Since the majority of the proletariat is under the hegemony of the ideology of the ruling class, then a vanguard organisation is needed, which will carry the burden to further the consciousness of the proletariat in their back.

6. To become a vanguard, the organisation must be centralized in themself, a centralism which enables it to move in one body and soul. However, this centralism cannot based merely on sole authority to the central leadership, but must be based on a common understanding on the actions that should be taken in certain situation.

7. A class struggle can only be a true power if it is also based on internationalism.

Four Enemies of the Working People
The National Meeting in Solo (2004) also decided on the Four Enemies of the Working People, the four powers which will obstruct the working people's struggle  in reaching for their power and (through their power) obtaining prosperity. They are militerism, imperialism, the ruling bourgeoisie, and the illusion of religious fundamentalism.

Our working program will consists of ideological, political, and organisational program. The ideological program is internal publications, mass publication, distribution and translation of ideological materials, and ideological education for members.

Political programs are

1) To put forward the demands for the proletariat's prosperity in face of the bourgeoise regime,

2) to build a network of national and international party/organisation with the same ideology,

5) to establish the conception of people power.
