Well there was a hot war going on in the background of TYOLD the Konfrontasi  the whole Living Dangerously line was based around Sukarnos words ushering in of hot conflict against Malaysia UK etc But on the point of Indonesian Civil War  at least at the beginning of  there was indeed some combat between the GS forces and those loyal to Suharto Im of the opinion that the period of combat was brief and that after Jakarta was seized by NasutionSuharto loyalists the casualties were very lopsided  hence why the PKIs Central Committeein exile called it just a White Terror   But of course however the same group criticized Aidit for not adhering to Maos Peoples War doctrine  so one could imagine that there were those sectors of the PKI that were spoiling for a conflict Hence I titled it Indonesian Civil War rather than Indonesian White Terror or Indonesian Coup  it keeps things NPOV and open to different scholarly interpretations  By I should point out that I have an interesting hard copy self critical document the PKI Central Committee published from China detailing what they perceived as their mistakes in  and attempts to reestablish the Party Unfortunately it is without copyright information printed this was likely due to attempts to get around import restrictions during the US Cold War I am looking forward to contributing some choice quotes to round out Indonesian Civil War At any rate toodles
