Sukarno-ism is an ideology of Sukarno during his old age. As he got older, he thought that Indonesia have been more sympathetic towards the West, and Indonesia should be a neutral Third Force nation. In 1963, after he resigned as President due to Natsir’s sudden demise, Indonesia never left US grip, but the Communist Party carried the struggle of him, becoming the Fourth Era of the party, especially after China falls after the Tianjin Youth Massacre. This new ideology is mainly pacifism on foreign policy, but extremenly hard left in domestic policy. The ideology promotes equality, labor goverment, centralism and strong government.
No bloody hell I would let the Kingdom surrender to those filthy Malays.

We still do not know whether Ulbricht was -as rumored- a US spy or the situations was perfect for us. But he propose that Prussia must be reborn. Khrushchev was surprised enough until he nearly sent him to gulag. However, regarding happenstance before, the plan was perfect.

"We cannot risk West Germany’s left supports to help us. We need our loyal subjects."
Polish Seizure is a seizure of land of Northern Poland, former states of Western Pomerania, Pomerania and the whole former East Prussia, includes the Kaliningrad Oblast Soviet Union have gifted them. In Labor Day of 1962, weeks before referendum, East German and Soviet troops marched to Warsaw, and dissolved the state of Poland as a whole, and the rest of Poland was acquired as one of Soviet’s Socialist Republics. This resulted a direct border of Soviet Union to proper Czechs, and minor expansion of the Russians. Although it was destined to increase Soviet's influence in Europe. The effects were the exact opposite, and this led to the infamous Domino Effect, and the Germans betrayed them after the 1963 Bonn Bombings.

A CIA operative, codenamed the Blue Valkyrie, was an operation approved by Kennedy to infiltrated the core members of radical socialist labors. Play a savage plot involving the labors, they will attack government vital assets, but unnecessarily endanger their lives. Names like Rudolf Wegner will be used as an undercover. So, in the end, people of Germany pin-point the lefts for this barbarity.

Thanks for the chapter, did the rhineland got their independence?
Did they get seperated from prussia? Otherwise, prussia would still dominate germany.
Things that happened in 1963 may have disrupted the nation badly. No wonder, Vice President died and President resigned, this is something Indonesia can be ashamed for. Other nations would stand until the end, while our dear proclamator left politics because of his emotions. People mildly became upset of him during that time. ‘Coward’ and ‘Loser’ are some words he was described by the folks. In the eyes of us -officials- however, it was the right move.
During that era of turbulence, Indonesia was desperately need of a characteristic. A new nation just born after the gifts of World War 2, is far fragile. We had witnessed many of Third World Nations, particularly the ones who declared itself a nation after the WW2, descended into colonialism once more or fell at least once under a ruthless dictator. We, Indonesia, are literally the only third nation survived and move up as significant role in the world. Many other predicted nations that had a better future than us, met their poor fates. Indonesia once almost tilted itself towards dictatorship, under the nose of Sukarno.
Since the beginning, Sukarno was not an enthusiast for liberal-parliamentary democracy. He always hoped a strong-presidential Indonesia. Furthermore, his approach with the Indonesia Communist Party have tilted himself into believing that Parliament is a waste of democracy. If Sukarno had reigned a few more years, we could see the ICP establishing a coup. Indonesia, then, would become the communist nation America had afraid for. America, as always, prepared a back-up plan in case this happens. And boy, we definitely would not want to go that path.
Surely, America was not a perfect ally of Indonesia then. Her eyes had always been Papua and Papua only. The islands that embody a large spoils of minerals, particularly uranium and gold, have gain great interests in Washington. They weren’t keen on Jakarta, but they had to due to political circumstances. The resignation of Sukarno let this wrong type of assistance as mutual. Indonesia’s soft stance with America had successfully stirred the nation into “Asian America”. So, instead of the nightmares that may come. Sukarno had done what was the best ever option, resigning. His resignation rooted out all any possibilities of a totalitarian rule, especially by power- thirsty Communists. Also, his resignation marked the end of that hapless Islamic-Left Coalition. And marked the start of 2nd longer Party System. A system that lingers around the center of ‘War’ or ‘Peace’.
