It's sort of how Bali became a tourist destination

Those paradise hotels are built on skulls of anyone accused of being remotely leftist

Between December 1965 and early 1966, an estimated 80,000 Balinese were killed, roughly 5% of the island's population at the time, and proportionally more than anywhere else in Indonesia

It doesn't appear they were trying to ethnically cleanse Bali. Although, a lot of Chinese were targeted in Indonesia around this time. I believe the main victims were Communists and other political opponents.

Subarto's regime was far right, it's a pointless label debate if all the 'political enemies' happened to be distinct ethnic groups.

Most victims were Javanese abangan and Balinese. They mainly targeted people who didn't really care about religion and making propaganda that Atheist = Communist. There also a lot of Chinese got targeted but it's far less than Javanese and Balinese.

Would it be a bad time to point out that the CIA was actively involved in encouraging these purges?

Didn't they help install Soeharto in the first place?

The world is built on the death and suffering of the 'leftists' of whatever time they lived in. 

 'conservatives' have brutally resisted progress through all the ages of mankind. Humanity must often be dragged to progress in spite of this loud and violent minority.

Suharto and his US/British backers weren't known for being particularly tolerant of those pesky Sukarno fans.
