NEOPATRIONALISM
MOVEMENT: COUNTER TO THE HEGEMONY OF NEOIMPERIALISM (CAPITALIST)
By: Umi Salamah
Evoking the
spirit of patriotism and nationalism should not be with "force".
Winning or surviving on the battlefield
depends on the strategies played. The biggest "war" is currently against capitalist hegemony in various fields
which is a manifestation of neoimperialism. The way of committed suicide
bombing is done by the terrorists or bombing certain places in the name of
action against capitalist is "ridiculous" and in vain. Image
"stupid" and "evil" will be attached to the bomber and his
group. More fatal if the country of origin bombers also dubbed as a terrorist
state and the labeling will be treated to all the people who come from a
country known as the country of origin "terrorists". Impact is very
bad for the survival and progress of a country is affected by the labeling.
Intelligence wars should be fought with intelligence, imaging countered with
imaging, diffusion of culture must be confronted with the power of their own
culture.
Reflecting the
great figures against neoimperialism
There have been many leaders of nations
in the developing world who provide role models to evoke the spirit of
patriotism and nationalism in the various fields of non-violence. They work
best when they get sympathy and support from the world community. Just mention
of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinah, Bung Karno from Indonesia, Jawaharal Nehru of
India, and Nelson Mandela of South Africa. They beat the neo-colonialists with courage
and skill, set strategy and intelligence cooperation between countries in
negotiating and non-aligned against the political hegemony of the colonialist.
Currently all non-aligned countries are
de jure independence is already irrespective of the colonialists, but de facto
it was colonized by capitalist hegemony in various aspects of life, such as
economics, media, culture, education, technology, and science. Emerging
countries are still dependent on the capitalist powers. Developing countries
have not been able to even become masters in their own country. Our nation
still enslaved by capitalist countries in our own country. Most of the people
impoverished, while officials and the government bureaucracy and the
establishment pampered with a variety of pleasures. The result is a huge gap
between state officials and the people.
Capitalist hegemony in the country we
have penetrated into most of the nation's blood vessels in a variety of fields.
Even the heart has been ripped off and most of the common sense of our nation.
The low quality of life of the majority of the people have resulted in mental
and moral nation. A lack of confidence and mentality have undermined the slave
mentality of the majority of ordinary people, while the culture of corruption
and colonial mentality has spoiled most officials and bureaucrats of our
country. This is the impact of modern capitalist has been opened faucet in
developing countries on a large scale in the mining, industrial giant, and
capitalist trade networks. Ironically, the leaders of the developing countries ,
or most of them bend their knees and more capitalist than the policy side to
defend the rights and prosperity of its people. Even for the sake of defending
the capitalist policies and the establishment of office, they would be willing
to sacrifice its people.
As a result of our current society
tends repressive and anesthetized by residence. These circumstances make the
creativity and productivity of the nation paralyzed, so many people who fled
from idealism for the position / positions in society. Although in our society
occurs lameness lameness-social, social diversion, and social deviance has been
regarded as reasonable and decent thing going on. How could I not? Most of the
nation has long been lulled by the hedonistic culture, pragmatic, and
consumptive. Have fun with shortcuts, working with shortcuts, learn the
shortcuts, earn position with shortcut also has become a trend for the majority
of this nation. It happened from small people to people with high-ranking
officials. This attitude led to the habit of not critical, apathetic, and stuck
in an irrational society (mystical).
Is the character of our nation is so
far from the culture which is reflected in the state and the state
constitution? Ironically, only certain people are aware of it. It takes a
movement to raise awareness in the fight against capitalist hegemony
neopatrionalism in various fields. What should we do? In this case the presence
of the media and public figures who are still idealists hold on religion, the
state and the state constitution is very effective to develop the movement. Ad
delivery that is both patriotic and nationalist spirit of defending the country
for the progress and prosperity of nations is motivation and optimism for the
younger generation to save the nation and the state of capitalist hegemony.
Visionary leadership and mentality
neopatrionalism are required against Capitalist Hegemony Domination.
The power of capitalist media make our
nation powerless and the crisis of confidence. The media has a very important
role in raising the spirit of patriotism and nationalism. But the media also
plays a major role in destroying the spirit of patriotism and nationalism. News
event and broadcasting that are not
balanced between performance and dedication earned the nation with moral
deviations, then gives a very bad impact for the community and young people.
Impressions moral aberrations in various media, such as corruption,
manipulation, adultery, witchcraft, fights, cheating that are repeated over and over again give a
bad impact apathy towards the existence and progress of the nation and the
state. Instead aired achievements and dedication of the nation that brought the
nation's progress will positively impact the survival and progress of the
nation.
Who is authorized to regulate? What's a
declaration of religious education based education and culture if it is not
supported by media impressions and government policies that are not based on
religion and culture itself. Visionary leader and mentally neopatrionalism are
required to attack against capitalist hegemony. Leaders who cling to the basic
state and the state constitution. Leaders are responsive to the problems and
challenges of the nation and the state. A leader who can set an example of
patriot for their people.
Visionary leader and neopatrionalism
mentality will always support and provide the broadest possible opportunity to
the people to advance the nation. Leaders who cling to the basic constitution
of the state and country will always defend the rights and pro-prosperity,
justice, dignity, and the dignity of the nation and country. Leaders are
responsive to the problems and challenges of the nation and the state always
see the problems and needs of its people as study materials to improve the
quality of education, technology, and science in the country. A leader who can
set an example of patriot for their people is courageous leaders and
consistently implement the establishment of the state and the country's
constitution and daring against the capitalist policies that are not in
accordance with the constitution of the state and country.
