50th anniversary of Indonesian government's slaughter of ~500,000 communists, ethnic Chinese, other enemies of state: http://nyti.ms/1VoNYdf
Mass killing of a "national, ethnical, racial or religious group" is genocide under U.N. definition, but not a political or class group.

Legal definitions should not always have the last word over everyday usage definitions, whether with genocide or other matters.

It's significant that
@AmbassadorPower does not even mention the '65-66 Indonesian genocide in her overpraised genocide book. -
Why not? Most likely because Washington was an abettor in this genocide. And "dwelling" on such is no way to get ahead in Washington, natch.
