I specifically address Indonesian racism toward Papua. Many arguments have addressed the significance of Indonesian national development ideology and the legacy of colonialism as impactful factors. However, without denying the significance of all those factors, this paper proposes a new entry point to understand Indonesian racism toward Papua, namely settler colonialism and its contribution to the capitalist development in Papua.

It uses a dual logical plural approach from Marxist IR Theory. This approach emphasizes the importance of two systemic logics: capitalism and geopolitics. Since this approach is used in the foreign policy analysis realm, contextualization of the level analysis is needed. In this case, the dual logical plural approach proposes a distinctive description of these levels of analysis. International condition refers to the imperialism of the present world order, domestic factor refers to the development of state capitalism, and actors refer to the alliance of the political elite and capitalist class of state.
Based on those distinctive features, this research concludes several crucial points. First, the expansionist economic maneuver of the European Union and the imperialist trick of the US played vital roles in affecting Russia's foreign policy toward Ukraine from 2014-2022. Second, the history of Russian capitalist development, which gave birth to the emergence of regressive Caesarism, also plays a significant role. Third, the development of Ukraine's capitalism and its class dynamics play a central role in navigating Russia or Western state's maneuvers. The dominance of Western Ukraine, which particularly articulates the interests of Ukraine's middle class and the Western state's geopolitical or economic interests, significantly forces Russia to change the nature of its policy from annexation to invasion.

Ini juga terjadi pada gerakan sosial. Pada prosesnya, gerakan sosial mendapat bentuk yang baru, yaitu gerakan sosial digital. Pada praktiknya, gerakan sosial digital ini membawa optimisme yang besar terhadap demokratisasi sekaligus pesimisme terhadap signifikansi suatu gerakan sosial. Dalam ranah akademik, hal kemudian dikategorikan sebagai aras pembahasan cyber-optimist dan cyber-realist. Dua kecenderungan pembahasan ini memiliki kekurangan dalam pembacaannya terkait kondisi-kondisi apa saja yang punya pengaruh signifikan terhadap gerakan sosial digital. Tulisan ini berusaha untuk mengajukan suatu pembacaan yang mengisi kekurangan kedua arus pembahasan dominan ini. Penulis menggunakan konsep aksesibilitas, logika internal sosial media, dan ekosistem gerakan sosial digital sebagai tawaran pembacaan signifikan terkait gerakan sosial digital. Indonesia akan diambil sebagai penyempitan fokus. Di sisi lain, medan operasi gerakan sosial digital di sini hanya akan dibatasi pada sosial media. Temuan tulisan ini kemudian akan mengarah pada bagaimana ketiga konsep yang diajukan punya pengaruh signifikan terhadap gerakan sosial digital di Indonesia.

In doing so, I propose the importance of material and ideological conditions that compel Kasimo to act and behave in a certain attitude. I argue that Catholic Social Teaching (Ajaran Sosial Gereja) dan the hierarchical structure of Catholic church are among the crucial factors that shape the political vision of the early Indonesian catholic politician like Kasimo.
