That's fucked up. More so becauae most just used it as a way to purge Chinese or crackdown and any labour movement and organizations with dire consequences for both.

Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika. Read Collapse by Vladislav Zubok. 400 pages of Gorbachev stroking his dick thinking he was Lenin reborn carrying not just the USSR but the entire world into a new era of peace and prosperity while everything burned down around him. Kanye West level delusional self confidence.

That British fervent commie who was a professor of Oriental and African studies and idolised Pol Pot, who went to Kampuchea and after having a chat with him was rapidly executed.

>An estimate is that around 2,000 Chinese Indonesians were killed (out of a total estimated death toll of between 500,000 and 3 million people), with documented massacres taking place in Makassar, Medan and Lombok island.[104] Robert Cribb and Charles A. Coppel noted that "relatively few" Chinese were actually killed during the purge while most of the dead were native Indonesians.[105] The death toll of the Chinese was in the thousands, while the death toll of native Indonesians was in the hundreds of thousands. Ethnic Balinese and Javanese made up the vast majority of people who were massacred.[101]

The 1960s purge targeted mostly native Indonesian Muslims who were suspected of being communists, hundreds of thousands of native Indonesians were killed by their own people while only several thousand Chinese were killed. Westerners promoted the myth that the victims were all Chinese to hide the CIA's role, since they wanted to blame "natural" "Indonesian racism" for the slaughters, while the CIA was in reality handing kill lists of native Muslim Indonesian intellectuals and doctors and lawyers to Suharto.
>In Sumatra, anti-Javanese Sumatran youths massacred the ethnic Javanese plantation labourers and PKI members throughout North Sumatra.[97] In Lombok, natives slaughtered mostly ethnic Balinese all across the region.[81]

Coppel sees the same bias in coverage of the May 1998 riots, where the Volunteer Team for Humanity noted non-Chinese looters made up the majority of those who were killed.[100] His thesis continues to inspire debate.[101]


There were 3 million PKI communists.

The total Chinese Indonesian population back then was 2.5 million. Half of them would be old people and children.

Now there are over 7 million Chinese Indonesians.

>600,000-3,000,000 Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese get slaughtered on accusation of being communists in 1965-1966. 99% of of them are Muslims and Hindus and many falsely accused and murdered for no reason.

>less than 7,000 Chinese get massacred in the 1965-66 purge (most of them killed by non-Muslim Indonesians in Borneo, not by Muslims)

>Chinese were 0.01% of the total victims of the 1965 purge. Majority of the victims are Javanese and Sundanese Muslims followed by Balinese Hindus.

>Total Chinese population of Indonesia was 2.5 million in 1956 half of which includes old people and children.

>Number of Indonesian communist (PKI) members was 3 million with another 15 million supporters.

>Indonesian communist party was led by people like Lukman (Luqman) and Mohammed (Muhammad), all of them native Muslims.

>Decades later, retards on Burmese angler fishing forums will claim the 1965 purge was a massacre of the Chinese population and praise Suharto for being a based anti-chink killer because the CIA intentionally spread false rumours in order to spare Suharto the humiliation of being the biggest butcher of his own people in history.

>Western dumbasses think the Indonesian Communist party led by Luqman and Muhammad and with over 3 million Javanese, Sundanese and Balinese members, was dominated by Chinese.

Suharto didn't starve his own people (Javanese Sundanese Balinese), he ordered them hacked to death with machetes directly.

Malcolm Caldwell.
A kind of similar story had happened decades earlier with American anti-racist activist Lovett Fort-Whiteman but that was before the Cold War.

The Vietnam War was full of crazy-ass psyops and false flags. I was reading a book by an AP reporter who was there at the time. Both the Viet Cong and the South Vietnamese government would carry out terrorist attacks on the same civilian population.
