Filled with terrorists

Big island place and was once Dutch colony or something.

those guys look cool as fuck

One of the few cunts where communist shit is b&. They rival only the Butthurt Belt for extreme McCarthyism since they just associate commies with Chinese imperialism.

Islamic Philippine
Poorer version of Malaysia

This thread would work better if it weren't 1:00 AM over there, OP.

Was there for a while, GOAT food but shitty climate. They have such a big population that they alone make the overwhelming majority of ASEAN.
Will praise them for making pic-related though

After independence, Indonesia was ruled by this guy Sukarno who was a left-wing nationalist like Gamal Abdel Nasser, although not an outright Marxist. The CIA hatched any number of hairbrained schemes during the 50s to depose him, including producing a fake porn movie of Sukarno in the hope of shaming him in an extremely conservative Muslim cunt.

Eventually the army, led by Suharto (a lot of Indonesians don't have surnames), revolted in 1965 and with the connivance of the US State Department conduced a mass purge of commies and anyone who was remotely left-of-center in the country. A few hundred thousand people, possibly up to a million, died. Sukarno remained nominally the country's leader until stepping down two years later. Suharto then took over, severed diplomatic ties with the Soviet Union and China, and became one of America's most loyal allies in Asia for the next quarter century.

After the end of the Cold War, US support for Suharto waned but he stubbornly held onto power until the Asian recession in the late 90s collapsed Indonesia's economy. He finally stepped down after mass riots in Jakarta in the spring of 1998.

The fuck can you have a left wing nationalist since leftism generally means internationalism?

>>75310992
I guess the proper term would be more like NatSoc.

Indonesia has lots of volcanoes, forests and tigers, and is home to the world's largest Muslim population. The largest island is Sumatra

>>75310992
For countries like Indonesia or India which have a shitton of minorities, Left wing nationalists wouldn't be that much of a surprise. Hell, even nationalist parties like Sinn Fein (Ireland) consider themselves Left wing nationalists.

>>75310992
Left wing nationalism happens a lot actually. Just look at Gaddafi and Peron

>>75309009
Muslim gooks

>>75309009
I've heard they're genociding the Papuans on their half of New Guinea

>>75310992
You can be economically left-wing and still be a nationalist

The president is likes Napalm Death.

As I said, those guys are basically NatSoc. Though Nasser did promote pan-Arabism which is conceptually similar to Marxist internationalism.

>>75309009
They kill people for a joint or a gram of hashish

>>75311469
>Eisenhower tells Britain, France, and Israel hands off when they want to stop Egyptian nationalization of the Suez Canal

Dumb. For all that effort, Nasser displayed a remarkable lack of gratitude to the US and the aid money from Moscow kept right on a-coming into Egypt. He reportedly said "Sometimes I cannot understand why the Americans do what they do."

>>75311614
Hell, we did dumber. Like Kennedy decided that removing Diem from power in South Vietnam was a good idea.

>>75311469
Pan Arabism is closer to Pan Europeanism, pan Asian, or any other pan (insert race) thing, its ethno nationalist

>>75311828
It was a good idea, but the execution was horrible.

Indonesia was one of the best parts of the empire. There were a lot of beautiful cities, good infrastructure, beautiful nature and it was ruled by Dutchmen and local monarchs. Only Batavia and maybe Maluku was under direct Dutch control.

>>75309009
They genocide Papuans in West Papua

>>75321658

More like the corrupted version of the language named Bahasa Indonesia (with the exception of Sumatran Malays)

Urgently needs balkanising. Also return West Papua.

>>75321658
>Among the highest rubber reserves in the world
Too bad natural rubber hasn't been a relevant commodity since the 1930s.

not Timor

>>75309009
Bali is a pretty cool place, and i hear the rest of java is pretty nice. I heard Sumatra and Borneo were dangerous though.

You fucking fund them. Islam will never happen to Indonesia without your intervention.

>>75309009
When I'm not poor I want to travel Indonesia and insular Malaysia
Reasons why:
Sumatra has elephants tigers orangutans rhinos etc in rainforests
Borneo has proboscis monkeys elephants orangutans clouded leopards etc in rainforests
Sulawesi has a huge amount of marine life and coral reefs
New Guinea and Raja Ampat has huge marine life diversity in their coral reefs and birds of paradises cuscuses tree kangaroos sugar gliders etc in rainforests
I love animals and nature, and Indonesia has has a huge amount of land and sea biodiversity throughout the archipelago

>>75309043
Daily reminder US and Australia are the one who let this happen.
