Murba Party (Indonesian: Partai Murba Murba stands for Musjawarah Ra’jat Banjak) was a ‘national communist’ political party in Indonesia. The party was founded by Tan Malaka Chairul Saleh Sukarni and Adam Malik in 1948. The history of the party was largely intertwined with that of the powerful Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). Initially relations between PKI and the Murba Party were fluid but gradually the two parties developed into each other’s arch-enemies.
