It's widely believed that Sukarno's downfall and Suharto's rise to power is supported by UK and US intelligence service. Communism was integrated deep in Indonesia's society at the time....Nasakom: Nasionalisme, Agama, Komunisme.

That's why Suharto was really pro-west.

It's one of the biggest, forgotten Western Bloc victory in Cold War. Deeply rooted communism in a country many times bigger than Vietnam, can be eradicated without shedding a single drop of blood from western soldiers.

Under new order regime, Indonesia was really communist-phobe...even compared to United States. Can be branded communist just because voicing labor and peasant rights.....
