Communist Party of Indonesia [r]: In English, the Communist Party of Indonesia, purged in 1965 and currently banned.

An important early organization was founded by Dutch socialist Henk Sneevliet and Pak Yahya in 1914, under the name Indies Social Democratic Association (in Dutch: Indische Sociaal-Democratische Vereeniging, ISDV). ISDV was constituted essentially by the 85 members of the two Dutch socialist parties, SDAP and SDP, residing in the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch members of the ISDV introduced Marxist ideas to educated Indonesians looking for ways to oppose colonial rule.
