Correction on 1965 PKI putsch?<\/p>\n
From Neraca<\/p>\n
The Sept. 30, 1965 Indonesian Communist Party revolt
\n(G30S\/PKI) was an attempted coup, what must be straightened out?
\n(Neraca April. 29). That Soeharto made use of the attempted coup
\nto seize power afterward is another matter. It is the duty of
\nhistorians to put the matter in the right perspective.<\/p>\n
But that the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) started the
\nputsch with the abduction and killing of the Heroes of the
\nRevolution is a historical fact. What is there to straighten out?<\/p>\n
If the attempted coup had succeeded according to their plan
\n(i.e. it was not used by Soeharto for his own benefit as
\ncharged), we democrats would have been eliminated from Indonesian
\nsoil.<\/p>\n
The risk of a coup, in failure like the communist coup, was
\nthe cleansing of the PKI and its henchmen from Pemuda Rakyat
\n(People's Youth), the People's Cultural Institute (Lekra), the
\nIndonesian Women's Movement (Gerwani), etc. It is the law of
\nrevolution. What must be corrected?<\/p>\n
The G30S\/PKI case stands apart, separate from the accusation
\nof Soeharto's role afterward. The people directly involved in the
\nattempted coup cannot be separated from the whole conspiracy of
\nthe coup. It is feared that the death of DN Aidit might be
\nconsidered a human rights violation.<\/p>\n
Considering history, what is called communism cannot be
\nencouraged. The 1965-1966 Foundation is a new embryo of a
\ncommunist movement. Therefore it must be dissolved and declared
\nbanned like the PKI, Pemuda Rakyat, the Indonesian Prosperity
\nLabor Union (SBSI), Gerwani, etc..<\/p>\n
