   It looks so pathetic that the situation when people who deemed himself to be an authority in Communist and Marxist ends up like a pauper and behaving so immature.

   Why not go into something constructive and see what you could come up with.

   I guess people are more interested in snow balling and paint shots. It will lead to nowhere except squabbling over the topic over and over agin.

   I was six, in Jakarta, when it happened (G30S). Went to a public school (elementary) in Poland (66-70) during the socialist era. I’ve seen communism in CCCP/USSR (74-77) and lived in Moscow during Brezhnev era.

   I haven’t formally studied nor read any books about marxism, yet somehow I believe must have learned something about communism. The birth of marxism during the industrial revolution was to deter the capitalism and until now, it’s always about fighting the capitalists. Marxism hasn’t evolved very much, I think. It becomes an ‘orthodox’ obsolete thing of the past. It hasn’t proved anything.

   Meanwhile, capitalism has grown and evolved pretty much and gaining acceptance, and proved it worked. It becomes a modern thing, and can adapt and adjust very quickly to any situation (read: country, people).

   Back in USSR, the communism ideology was not to give prosperity to its people, but used to control the people, to gain power. And absolute power tends to corrupt. And USSR was corrupt. The same party leader, army commander, KGB, the same elite now runs the new Russia. Well, not all, some of them, and perhaps playing different role.

   G30S ? Whodunit ? It would be a very long and tedious work to find out and bring those responsible to trial. It was a fight for power. And at the end innocent bystanders, peasants, public servants, ordinary people got killed. The Indonesian people.

   And it all started with disinformation and misinformation.

   From now on let us keep the power in our hands, the people’s power. That is the “information”, the “truth”. Back then, “the truth was out there”.

   Keep blogging folks, keep talking, keep writing, keep sharing the information, and keep telling the truth.

   [...] PKI As a little 4-year-old kid, watching the Gerakan 30 September massacre movie was traumatizing. Every 30th of September, TVRI would show that movie as a reminder [...]
