Pancasila occurs representing the lineament, identity and
nation’s characteristic which is unique and divergent. This ideology is not
yielded through hegemony power enforcement, yet it is the proceed of national
and state consciousness which is formulized through profound assessment by our
founding father. Accordingly, this ideology should be assigned in the state
that adopts socialism and liberalism political philosophy.
Initially, outset description about both socialism and
liberalism will be provided so that explicit and unmistakable analysis in
regards of the placement can be genuinely conducted. Socialism accentuates in
fairness and social equality which will take the role of discrepancy resolution
involving poverty, mass unemployment, indebtedness as well as health care
absence.[1]
Thus, I depict socialism resembling toward anti-capitalism. In this case,
socialism is the positioning and conditioning of the obliteration of elite
enrichment, that is easily found in totalitarian state system, to be replaced
with people-oriented services as the extension of proper and decent democracy.
These outcomes synchronize with the accomplishment of the second and fifth
Pancasila principles which emphasize on social justice and righteousness
combined with civilized human being. Meanwhile, liberalism serves the
reflection of liberty and freedom as the right of democratic nations,
embroiling religions, tribes, cultures, professions, educations and interests.
This is the point where the first Pancasila principle elucidates its intention
of possessing a belief in God by acknowledging diverse religions as part of
multiculturalism. However, liberalist countries also utilize confined
instrument, justified limitation that is embodied by constitution and
regulations, in order to preserve orderliness and structural of a nation in the
sake of welfare and weal. This justification is the substantiation of the
fourth principle contained in Pancasila where consultative and representative
are applied in the form of legislative, executive and judicial. Lastly, the
third principle of unity refers to the idealistic nationalism that is virtually
possessed by all systems namely totalitarian, communism, socialism, liberalism,
libertarianism as well as anarchism.
Indonesia by its Pancasila ideology complies with the
principle of justice in liberalism that is triggered by John Rawls stating that
each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive system of equal
basic liberty compatible with a similar system for all.[2]
This principium is concomitant with Pancasila pillars of such ideas consisting
of free and fair elections, civil rights, freedom of the press, freedom of
religion, free trade and right to life, liberty and property.[3] Indonesia
is the most impeccable instance of pluralism procurement by immersing ‘Unity in
Diversity’ (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) as the amalgamation of Pancasila reflection
as anthropology values. In this term, socialist provides human nature as social
creature whilst liberalist provides human nature as individual creature. Countries
that absorb Pancasila set the requirement of a life fellowship called state,
consequently, the right tendency state systems ranging from libertarianism that
is less significant in the government advocacy until anarchism by the absence
of government cannot be categorized in implementing Pancasila values.
Similarly, the striking left tendency will restrain and harness the principle
of equality and justice which is conversely contradict with Pancasila values. In
conclusion, rendering to idealistic, normative and realistic dimension,
Pancasila values are the principles of socialism and liberalism unification.
