58 years ago today, socialism was once again brutally ended. The "New Order" only ended with Suharto's death in 1998. Sukarno's daughter served as the 5th president from 2001 to 2004. - eviltoast

(edit : my bad, the first post was deleted by mistake so i rewrote the title from memory, it was Suharto’s resignation* in 1998, not death, following riots killing an estimated 1000 people. He died ten years later, in 2008.)

It is also the 74th anniversary of the founding of China’s People’s Republic today, not a coincidence(, just as, e.g., Russia’s war in Ukraine happening on the same “anniversary” as the western-backed 2014 coup).
China was only allowed to exist in 1978 once they welcomed capitalism. Their overwhelming success wasn’t expected however.

    Coups for national self-determination are good. It is quite obvious when coups are made by the US because they instantly sell off their countries to western companies.
