Hi! Facundo from Argentina here. Comparing the experiences with investigation and national reconciliation in places like Argentina with Indonesia, do you think there is an historical cultural factor that informs the collective process in healing and uncovering the truth? aside from the fact that in Indonesia, the same right wing military class still rules the country and has the effective power? Thank you for your ans

I suppose culture is always relevant, but in this case I would not list it as the main reason for the deviation in historical remembrance. Instead, I'd point to what you identified - that the US-backed military won a much more profoundly final victory in Indonesia in 1965, and the same institution remains very powerful today.(less)

Quotes by Vincent Bevins (?)

“Looking at it this way, the major losers of the twentieth century were those who believed too sincerely in the existence of a liberal international order, those who trusted too much in democracy, or too much in what the United States said it supported, rather than what it really supported—what the rich countries said, rather than what they did. That group was annihilated.”
― Vincent Bevins, The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World

“I fear that the truth of what happened contradicts so forcefully our idea of what the Cold War was, of what it means to be an American, or how globalization has taken place, that it has simply been easier to ignore it.”
― Vincent Bevins, The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World

“They are living out their last years in a messy, poor, crony capitalist country, and they are told almost every single day it was a crime for them to want something different.”
