One of the most ominous chapters in history is the Jakarta Method. This was the campaign that the CIA carried out during the Cold War in which millions of people involved in the global class struggle were murdered. Starting with the mass violence effort orchestrated by the military dictatorship that U.S. imperialism installed in Indonesia, the Method was exported to Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and the other Latin American countries in which U.S. coups took place. In Indonesia, the violence was the most indiscriminate, and for this reason ended up taking hundreds of thousands of lives. Anyone who was even vaguely suspected of holding socialist sympathies got hunted down, and either murdered or put into a concentration camp. Ethnic minorities like the Chinese were subjected to genocide.
Hey Rainer, amazing article per usual. We all knew this was going to have blowback, and being able to recognize the strategies and tactics of our enemy is so important now and in the future to defending our cause.
You just blocked me on Twitter. My name is Mitch and that is my actual name. I am not a wrecker, in fact I did not join the wreckers that split from the party. Looking at PSL instead.
Anyway, I swear on Marx's beautiful beard that whatever information you heard was incorrect and likely a deliberate lie. This is something PCUSA has been doing to literally anyone criticizing them for rightful breaches in democratic centralism and right opportunism with patriotic socialism, et al. Anyway...don't expect you to answer, but I do love your tweets and will continue to follow your work here if that's the only way to see it. Peace and solidarity comrade.
You effortlessly balance quality of prose with accuracy of insight and theoretical rigour. If I were half as good as you at this stuff I'd be happy.
