The Funtastic Man

Bung Karno as the National Teachers 
 

Among the many predicate that has been given to the Bung Karno, seems right on the warning back to the year-102 That this was also the nation as a teacher. As a fuse and komunikator, many thoughts have become important contribution of education for untold is the nation-state. 

No teachers say, he is able to convey ideas important to the smooth, full of imagination, and communicative. In his hands, topics that have real weight to be readily digested, easily understood public. 

Remember, for example, while periodically in the years 1958-1959, he gave a series of "lectures" to explain again please, please sake of Pancasila as the basis for the country, each one please every opportunity "face-to-face." On 26 May 1958 he started the series with a lecture about the general understanding of Pancasila. After the explanation of the various forms of resistance against capitalism and, he emphasized that Pancasila is not only a view of life, but also means integrationist nations. 

Course of study that followed a similar course, the other is usually held at the State Palace and broadcast directly through the radio to all corners of the country. Unlike the speeches in front of the Bung Karno mass that usually fiery burning spirit of the people, university-run course is more communicative and relaxing. 

With lecture-course seems Bung Karno want to remind all at once, not the State Palace thatcher or sacred place that can only be entered presidential office and the country is paramount, but the Palace property, where people learn about many things, including the basic state. He wants to make Palace (and probably Indonesia generally) as a "lecture room" where the established process of learning between people and their leaders. 

Theory and praksis 

From the theories and philosophy, and political references, historical references which are used in the Pancasila, please, please, it appears very broad knowledge of the Soekarno and the. In-uraiannya description, it is not uncommon menyitir mind Renan, Confucian, Gandhi or Marx. Thus, he seems to want to show and give an example, every citizen will need to continue to expand knowledge. Although it was educated people as technical, but very familiar with the social sciences, especially philosophy, history, politics, and religion. 

In one course, Bung Karno offensive dialognya back meetings with farmers and poor Marhaen. Dialogue itself has been far before, but he is still able to remember and reflect very clearly. This indicates, the Soekarno concern perjumpaannya with junior Poker, people, and want to make it a point of departure the struggle together in order to liberate the people of Indonesia from the yokes of poverty and injustice. Rhetoric struggle for the people who are not accompanied by a driver-meeting directly with people is hogwash. 

In other words, as the nation's teachers, he not only likes working in the theoretical world, but also plunge to the reality of day-to-day life of the nation. Bung Karno always working hard to strike a balance "book" with "earth," menatapkan theories of social-political realities with careful human being that he perjuangkan. 

Bung Karno continue to strengthen linkages and praksis theory, reflection and action. Perhaps this is one of the factors that differentiate them from other leaders, both sezamannya and thereafter. 

Please note, separated from whether or not people agree with the description and ideas, one thing I can Soekarno doubt about: he is not a corrupt official. It is difficult, Soekarno-like positions in the government because people want to steal money or accumulate wealth for themselves. 

Soekarno struggle is the struggle of honorable, a respected even by those who do not agree with it. Therefore, not surprisingly never ruwetnya economic pemerintahaannya below, not visible trend government officials at that time that corruption without shame or berkongkalikong sell natural resources belong to the people. 

Absences other teachers 

However, as a human Bung Karno is not without weaknesses. In its capacity as state officials, for example, it appears to "enjoy" its position so that there is the impression he no longer place as a waitress in public governance democratic society. As president he should realize the position as someone who served as far as the people's mandate gives it, it is accompanied by a certain time limit. 

Bung Karno apparently did not heed it too. Therefore when 1963 was appointed as president of a lifetime, he did not refuse. 

As a teacher of the country as a "lecture room" giant and colleagues working as the "students" are obedient, impressed Bung Karno not need "teachers" other. He no objection to their existence, but-not-aware or "teaching style" is to encourage leaders of other potential teachers to also become a nation forced to evacuate or tersingkir. 

We have not forgotten when on 1 December 1956 Bung Hatta resign from the position of Vice President. We also still remember how the people close to Bung Karno-like Sjahrir, Amir Syarifuddin, Tan Malaka, Moh Natsir, and other one-stray from it. 

In the mid-1950s, it appears the attention Bung Karno so large that its own to make it less aware of the impact that the Cold War was far more The only Indonesia. PKI victory in the 1955 elections and 1957 local election, for example, has actually affect policy attention and the perpetrators of the main Cold War against Indonesia. 

On the one hand, China and the Soviet Union welcomed delighted with the victory because it indicates more widespread communism in Indonesia. On the other hand, the U.S. and sekutunya, the victory to improve their fear that Indonesia will "loose" circle of influence of the West. In thinking domino theory, means that Indonesia will lepasnya threathened Threatened Western interests in Southeast Asia. 

Little by little tension is built stage. Year 1965-1966 as the arena stage was bloody fight between the PKI and armed elements who supported the West. Bung Karno conscious, but too late. With trembling she was forced to witness the hundreds of thousands of people who love it was planned and brutal. 

Little by little he dijepit. Finally, teachers of this nation that is removed from the stage of power. He died as a political prisoner and the poor, the independence of the country with his tenacious perjuangkan. 

End of life Bung Karno to grieve. But the academic teachings as a teacher-nation remain relevant and important to this nation-state. People can learn not only from what is said, but also from the action, the following advantages and disadvantage. We hope the young people of this state is not fed to continue to learn from history, including from the Bung Karno as the nation's teachers.
