Jimmy Carter complaining about human rights in the USSR while continuing to arm Suharto:
Well sure we gave them all the guns and also official support and also trained them but we didn't do it personally so it doesn't count! :flag-us:
The Jakarta Method
It's a bit lib in parts, but every leftist should read this
Does a great job of clearing out some
regarding communist revolutions in other countries. Also really cements "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle." Nazis and Nazi adjacents are the footsoldiers of Capital vs the Workers.
This is just the extrajudicial killings we know about, right? There's millions more if you include the nominally legal wars and economic violence?
Oh yeah, absolutely. These are just a selection of US backed coups. Far from all of them even. I was arguing with a lib elsewhere and realized I needed a Jakarta Method meme.
Just the February 28 incident might have had 3x that many murdered. There were mass executions of suspected communists in Taiwan after the fall of Hainan in 1950, in which lots of communist cells helped the PLA during their invasion. The ROC didn't want a repeat of that in Taiwan, so they went on a years long campaign of repression against the locals to pull out the roots of any communist infiltration. The 10k figure is probably closer to just the internal purges of the KMT than of the locals. The whole island was basically an open air prison and garrison state for decades, and the ROC was not shy about using capital punishment.
