General Suharto has been a corrupt dictator for the past thirty years. Indonesia “achieved substantial economic growth”, however there is no mention of the incidents in 1965, “the massacre of large numbers of working class Indonesians “. The victims of the massacre were from the oldest communist party in Asia the PKI. There were over three million members of this party in 1965, due to political tension General Suharto, directly aided by the U.S over one million of these PKI party members were murdered.
The US played a key role in the mass killings as they trained and armed Suharto’s troops. The regime that so greatly aided the west was based on these mass killings; the remainders of the PKI party members and their friends and relatives were blacklisted. At the time of the genocide the U.S governments attitude was “no body cared as long as they were Communists that they were being butchered, a statement that pretty much speaks for itself as an indictment of the genocide carried out in Indonesia in 1965”.
Even today this genocide is not spoken about in Indonesia; the western capitalist media called it huge “economic growth”, and blamed the mass killings on the PKI. The U.S claims that they are building their government towards aiding Indonesia on an “anti imperialist basis”.
