Among academics, activists and politically, the process of becoming Indonesia frequently associate with three major developments. The three main developments that are very popular jargon of politics, of the three stages that we can see "Old Order", "New Order" and last "Order of the Reformation" and can not be denied that there will be no other orders will follow as conservation of old orders by looking at the times that each time changing.
Talking about the third stage of the above, often a barometer for the changes that occur in reality now. Seeing with the incessant politics increasingly popular piercing. Discourse related changes often with political developments so that the discourse will be the development of the people is very difficult to be a major discussion. It becomes a big question for the writer, why in the era of populist discourse reforms order was never made headlines even more priority to almost all the media news about politics? It's basically in letterlate politics when interpreted will generate a positive connotation, but today we no longer talk at the level of axiology problems but must refer to the substance of the issue after it is implemented in our daily life.
No wonder if there is inequality in government policy is to act from their own, since its humble beginnings emerged as a form to maintain the group and even to improve their personal image to the public .. Nothing wrong with a party of academics, activists and politicians assume that Indonesia now is Indonesia plus pragmatic capitalists. Aggapan mentradisi like this are already in Indonesia after the Crash of the New Order regime to the Reform Order. Communities tendency toward instant case (goods exports) is a form of thinking pragmatisasi. This arises because the social construction of society is not accustomed to think productively. It is tempting to see the goods and the price is cheap and easily accessible by consumers but, it is noteworthy that at the time the goods are automatically retrieve the goods in our country will stagnate and aliases do not sell our country when the goods are not sold in the domestic economy will also revolve will go down.
Indonesia's political influence is closely related with the influence of pragmatism and capitalist ideas. Pragmatism, not denigrated has become a kind of spirit that keeps the body of ideas in the ideology of Capitalism, which has spread throughout the Western world through colonization by the old or new style. In this context, pragmatism can be considered dangerous because it has taught the two sides of the mistake at once to the world-standard of truth that is thinking and standards of human behavior.
On that basis, they are responsible against humanity can not escape from a noble task that challenges, namely the danger tame refuse Pragmatism by reviewing and, as a strategic platform for the deconstruction (demolition idea) Pragmatism, as well as to construct an ideology and Islamic civilization as alternative to Capitalism that has experienced decay, and only produce a painful suffering for mankind.
Sutan Takdir Alisyahbana never issued a statement with loud slogans. He said: "Awareness of individualism must be raised" or "Indonesian people should be encouraged to accumulate material wealth as much as possible" (Ayu Ruth, reconsidering the 'Great Debate' on Indonesian National Culture in 1935-1942)
Apart from the philosophical debate, many of the basic ideas of capitalism that can be articulated in a pragmatic manner. Capitalism is also pragmatic about the idea of individual ownership rights, rationality and the market economy. These three ideas that should go back to Indonesia was initiated.
These days it is definitely different from the first Sutan Takdir Alisyahbana Providence. Now the myth that poverty will never be terminated at the time we have met everyone's mind space. This myth has eliminated a lot of hope. A number of parties accused of capitalism as the culprit of this situation. But I see just the opposite. The absence of basic principles of capitalism which has been impoverishing our society.
Unthinkable by us as academics. Often we discussed at the level of ideological and intellectually and never try to think how to do a change with a movement that brought peace and prosperity for the wider community. It unless as the student can only be consumer and audience of the products of our nation without hegemonic economy can be predictor economically community can bring as a form of resistance to these products. By him, the writer just wanted to take the productivity in order to become the agent of chance for the public, Indonesia in general.
