Every year before the 30th of September, in Indonesia, propaganda banners blaming the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) encourage Indonesian people to recall the so-called alleged attempted coup by the PKI in 1965. Almost 60 years after the New Order regime carried out mass murder and massive arrest as part of an anti-communist purge, public discussion of the events remains taboo. In addition, the propaganda anti-communist has been a long-weaponised rhetoric. This article brings forward the key role of anti-leftist discourses as a propaganda tool by the military regime, which has an impact on the formation of a culture of hatred in society. Moreover, this article interrogates the definition of anti-leftist in Indonesia as well as explores the complex structure of prejudice in Indonesian political dynamics and norms towards communities of former political prisoners accused of being communists
