Soekarno, Nasakom, dan buku Di Bawah Bendera Revolusi sebagai materi ajar pelajaran Sejarah SMA

Abstract

The book entitled “Di Bawah Bendera Revolusi” is Sukarno’s original idea. He wrote an article about three concepts of pre independence movement namely ideology of Nationalism, Islamism, and Marxism which were then known as NASAKOM in 1926. Soekarno only took the essential elements of Marxism,that was his method of thinking which was called historical materialism to be combined with two other elements which contained aspect of modernity needed by Indonesian citizen. From the excerpt of Soekarno’s opinion about Nationalism, Islamism, and Marxism, it seems that he tried to look for compatible aspects from those three ideologies became power to achieve unity. Soekarno then made this idea as struggle device to establish NKRI. This should be discussed deeper in any history subjects especially for Senior high school. Soekarno’s thought about NASAKOM which was written in many Senior High School textbooks was only discussed partly so it can lead to the misinterpretation about Soekarno and his thought.
