Former independence leader & first president of #Indonesia #Sukarno was removed from power on #ThisDayInHistory in 1967. He was replaced by #Suharto, an #anticommunist tyrant aligned with the US, whose #democide/#genocide of #leftists and ethnic Chinese claimed 1-3 million lives.

Today in Labor History March 12, 1967: Suharto took power from Sukarno in Indonesia. He ruled Indonesia as an authoritarian, kleptocratic dictator for 31 years, and is widely considered one of the most brutal and corrupt dictators of the 20th century. During that time, he amassed a fortune worth $38 billion. Suharto rose to power under Sukarno during the 1965-1966 genocide. During that ostensibly anti-Communist purge, Suharto’s troops murdered 1-3 million communists, labor activists, peasants and ethnic minorities. During that genocide, he received support military and economic from both the U.S. and the U.K. In 1974, the Suharto regime, with approval of U.S. president Gerald Ford, invaded East Timor, killing over 200,000 Timorese. Another 75,000-200,000 died from starvation and disease. The current Indonesian government is considering awarding him the posthumous honor of National Hero.

#indonesia is likely to have been particularly alert to this given the production of a deep fake pornographic film of #sukarno in the 1950s by the #cia !

My grandfather was not a Sukarnoist but we are a family that loves books, especially my grandfather, my mother and myself. That's why he kept this book until he told my mother to keep it. My grandfather even got annoyed with me because I likedSukarno too much hehe.

This book has lost its cover because it was submerged in water during the flood in my city in 2014. My grandfather found this book at that time and told my mother to clean it slowly and keep it. Thankfully, all the pages of the book are still there and now my mother and I still keep them.

This book actually belonged to my late grandfather. My grandfather's grandfather or my great-great-grandfather bought this book when they were walking in a flea market, either in the late 1960s or early 1970s. My grandfather himself told me this.

There are many topics in these writings, especially politics and history. As you can see in the first photo, this is the third printing of the first volume. This book was published in 1964 so this book is 61 years old as of the time of this post, lovely. This is a rare book you know.

The book "Dibawah Bendera Revolusi" or "Under the Banner of Revolution" by the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, the Great Leader of the Indonesian Revolution, Sukarno. This book is a collection of Sukarno's writings before Indonesian independence which contain his thoughts on how to achieve Indonesian independence.
