The graft against nationalism

Nationalism is an ideology or doctrine that creates and maintains the sovereignty of a country to realize the concept of the common identity of a group of people whose language and culture of a connecting element in social interaction. Coupling gives rise to consciousness of nationalism communities / people of Indonesia, when it comes to disturbing external environment.

In the history of Indonesia, in particular, nationalism is still very critical of its existence, first, for example, as a unifying ideology to fight against the Dutch or Japanese, or the struggle against the hegemony of neoliberalism-kolonilalisme. First, if the people of this archipelago has continued to spread, there is no unifying ideology, and of course, the Dutch easily overwhelm us. It is likely that people throughout the archipelago will be fighting among themselves. Furthermore, when the Dutch policy would cause hostility and infuse the continuing conflict. Second, as a result, when people across the archipelago had managed to free at least nationalism as an ideological discourse to evoke the spirit of the independence of Indonesia. This type of nationalism, although sometimes misunderstood, why keep the trend of Indonesian nationalism hostile to other nations.

However, the increase, as the new nation is trying to stay as compact as the conflicts that could threaten the unity of Indonesia can be addressed on behalf of Indonesian nationalism. Thirdly, most of nationalism can not be used to provide the identity of the Indonesia-ness, so that Indonesia was in the world. However, what is recorded with the world of Indonesian nationalism. Probably not much. At that time, regardless of the construction of Orientalism, people are more familiar with Indonesia as a nation are very friendly countries, developing countries and the poor have a language of Indonesia unit, the afterlife is more than 600 local languages ​​still exist today.

Well, in our country, Indonesia has launched a series of understanding the concept of nationalism in the archipelago are displayed in a single unit: the ideology, political, economic, social, cultural, religious, national security and defense). Therefore, every citizen of Indonesia, in particular when he was appointed as a leader in the power structure in place must have the archipelago that the issue should have an absolute obligation to participate in the maintenance of territorial integrity Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke, as indicated in draft IPOLEKSOSBUDAGHANKAMNAS.

Now this from the comments of the experts can not be denied, our sense of nationalism is very thin, even at the risk of extinction. Primordialism came Association, are designed to tribal ties, regional groups, religious and / or between.

History has shown over the past 30 years, Indonesia holding a model of authoritarian rule, commonly called the New Order regime. Consequently, many problems of resentment and discontent beneath the surface turbulence. The most important thing was the death of democracy, corruption menjamurkan, the absence of a just law, and so on. Thanks to the condition of the stretcher, the potential for cracks became a bomb. Many people try to mobilize religion or ethnicity, or even brought the world such as democracy and the discourse of universal justice to strengthen the resistance. With an anxious and distracted, the total resistance to the regime by force, overt or covert. We know that in that time the army was in power and fear. The military do with the spirit of Indonesian nationalism. However, the most effective strategy to counter the resistance of the government's use of New Order nationalism to control and potentially devastating menek also the state government. In this case, nationalism should be constructed so that concrete ways to maintain pluralism (national unity), so that the disappointments that occur in local-local can be broken.

Indonesian nationalism stressed ethnic nationalism, or nationalism, religion or nationalism did not develop effective geographical Ika Yangal) State of the concept of archipelago of Indonesia, which can accommodate the world's dependence.

But even in this case is a very difficult kind of nationalism, if you build the social system, legal system and the system of government was tainted by the corrupt culture that can not be avoided. In the political system or structure of the New Order power has allowed the proliferation of massive corruption in all areas.

Corruption is "rooted" caused serious injury to the lower layers of the cultural behavior of people who see corruption as part of the social system, politics, economics, law and government. Even at the beginning of the elimination of corruption Act Act No. 31, 1999 Jo. No. 20 of 2001 Act that the tax has not been confirmed that "due to the corruption that took place during the financial loss that the State or the country's economy, growth, and even menghabat sustainability of national development, which requires a high efficiency. " Corruption is not only financial ruin and the country's economy, but to destroy all sectors of the community, nation and a sovereign state.

Welcoming the oath of October 28, 2010, this young, we need new schools or schools of nationalism is the nationalism-II, where the new nationalism is totally oriented to:

1). schools of national unity, because there can be unity if people are not able to become a different person for someone else or can not resolve the dispute;

2). The foundation of the attitude of how corruption should be eradicated completely opposed to national development in all sectors, and

3). The basis for the conduct of every citizen of Indonesia on the need to maintain the integrity of the state and nation including Indonesia archipelago, understanding as a whole is part of: ideology, economic, political, social, cultural, defense religious, and national security.

Nationalism will never be owned by a corrupt, because the road is a parasite in the countries of people life miserable and destroy the country from bankruptcy. From the beginning we both know that the main causes of corruption are:

1) The description of "stimulus" is due to a lack of faith and piety which is owned by officers and others involved in the finances of the State concerned;

2) There is an element of "luck" because the weak element of "control" in the management of public finance management;

We can not decide if corruption is not stimulated and there is no possibility for him. The obsession with corruption is undoubtedly due to:

A. lifestyle that is happy to show;
2. Feeling much money people are grateful;
3. To fund energy research;
4. For the already high cost of social prestige;
5. For venture capital as an annuity;
6. Forced to cover basic emergency needs such as school fees, medical expenses the family is sick;
7.Dll.

Indonesian society, covering the market economy and neo-liberalism can not prevent the spread of luxurious lifestyle that requires a high cost, while the purchasing power and income is low, then you can not avoid the encouragement of corruption, Iman and Taqwa, especially the majority of our society is very doubtful. Now would be eradicated from which O petinggi2 elites of the political elite and the government of this country ...?
