It was clear to everyone that if it didn't, a revolution might occur. Indonesia is a good example of how capitalism itself creates the opportunities for its own overthrow. Countries like Indonesia and Thailand were given massive loans to develop. Men like Suharto were seen as 'reliable and safe' by these bankers. In part this was because these economies provide cheap labour pools for capitalism.
Cheap labour plays a central role in maintaining current profit levels.
But there were massive contradictions at the heart of the economic development in Indonesia. Unexpectedly these came home to roost last year. There was a massive crisis and it was only through emergency loans from the IMF and the USA that catastrophe was averted. Revolution was staved off, but only by a whisker. Firstly we need to keep in mind that capitalism is a fundamentally unstable system.
