Indonesia's current political climate cannot be understood without understanding the 1965 Coup that shaped it.
I recommend "The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World" book for people looking to understand how the coup was orchestrated and what followed it.
- Log_out_ 2y agoAnother colonized killing colonizer masskilling when the powers shift. What can be expected to happen for example in xinjang if the current han-empire fails? The politics are decoration on top of a nasty locals vs outsiders struggle? Tons of powderkegs like this exist around the world on ex-empires shores. Balkans are always ready to explode to right ancient wrongs. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XTXfOPIFAok&t=1s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XTXfOPIFAok&t=1s CIA doesn't even need matches. Thats multicultural societies worldwide lots of villages living side by side, everyone remembering what the others were willing todo the moment they got in power. American meltingpot is the exception, not the norm..
- thriftwy 2y agoI don't think many of Indonesian communists being killed were colonizers by ethnicity or social status.
- krageon 2y agoCertainly not in 1965, approximately twenty years after they became independent. There were no colonizers left by then, everyone the Indonesians saw that way either fled or was murdered in the street by 1947 or so.
