What is the importance of liberal democracy if only the party oligarchy fruit, spike golput, strengthening of individual charisma, weakening the role of the executive branch.
(Ferran Requejo: 1991)
Court Decisions (Constitutional Court) on the acquisition of a majority vote for legislative candidates in elections in Senayan seems increasingly reinforce the existence of liberal democracy. This fact as well as by extending the wing "Individualism" as the pinnacle of politics we construct today. Speaking in this context, what the real motive of the Constitutional Court widens the political core of the "pre-Individualism" switch to "pure-Individualism"?
Court decisions ignited this motif, at least we forced to dip into the logic of liberal democracy at play in the political construction. According to Ferran Requejo (1991) the basic logic of liberal democracy is rationalism. From this point, then democracy to the plains berdiaspora "liberalism" is more extensive. One of them, the diaspora is the logic of liberal democracy to form a political character marketisme, which tends to ignore the nature of loyalty to his constituents. In this form, the political strength and replaces Individualism political society. At a more advanced stage, liberal democracy would automatically cut the cores communality in politics.
The loss of the tread of communalism in democracy, belief in perbagai assert rationalism in democracy; politicians with rationalism as memunggut natural actions and patterns of patronage politics. Rationalism in democracy will still be not interpreted differently in the interpretation of economic rationalism in the region. Ferran Requejo understanding of rationalism in politics is "the maximization of particular interests of individuals and groups." Towards maximizing desires, political satisfaction; in this case is the power of the spirit of political rationality in the middle of the puddle of liberal democracy. This is the sense in which other forms of rationalism in the political life.
Rationalism in a democracy is not so familiar, and very rarely played linked. Because of all this, the stigma attached to rationalism only an sich economies. But with the market of cultural crush, then went into the territory of rationalism is widely lives, including the area of democracy. This is what makes us have to chop in a democratic liberalism. As the strengthening of democratic rationalism in making We often ask what the ultimate impact of rationalism against democracy.
The outbreak of rationalism in the body of liberal democracy, democratic change causes instantaneous gesture. It is seen from the shift in political orientation in Indonesia today. Politics is no longer meaningful to the audience, especially for the political actors in an effort to encourage the transition of power to the applicative form of populist nationalism and commitment. Opposite happened. Politics is only able to encourage changes in individual quality alone and not in contact at all with the nation.
Political function in the real democracy to encourage democratization. However, when the bang of liberalism broke out in the body politic as a result directly terkooptasinya liberalism democracy by political instantly changed the meaning into individual goals. In this case, politics gave birth to various forms of quasi-political, the political form of imaging, digitization politics, bad political culture became part of the money inevitable.
Each political actor is controlled by a political machine to race into authistik. They construct a reality, totally unrelated to the reality experienced by the community. As a result, the ideological imbalance in the political process terhujam great. End, democracy becomes dull because it is only understood as Fabricated power, nothing more.
Immediasi Politics
Borrow a phrase from Kierkegaard immediasi interpreted as an area where people live by passion and feelings that demand to be filled directly. This is precisely paired with politics. Because now is like, the political reality is constructed only to satisfy the desire to power quickly, instantly, without the need to serve and do for the people first.
Observing the political realities of the developing, warned "we" in a drama Faust German poet, Goethe. In this drama is told that Faust made a pact with the devil in order to obtain pleasure, power, and extensive knowledge, including knowing magic. In this context aesthetic Faust is a character, who always wanted to grow up instantly. What to do this fragment with the political realities of our time?
Nobody menyanggal that political "We" now born from various forms of complex agreements, and involves a lot of networking. In fact, political actors deal with the power to get bailout capital campaign, or even politicians agreement with the mass media / electronic to form a political reality, these agreements are an important part of the current political process. This is an agreement made by political actors with the forces outside of himself. Then these agreements will give birth to various konsekwesi, various regulatory bid to "partner" politics when the actor won the political battle.
Agreement politicians with complex networks, resulting in political estuaries only for spatial power, even a very artificial. No wonder so many regulations written by the political actors only when the ruling could produce a variety of protection for the group. If these regulations can not afford "political debt", then immediately "wild mind" (The Savage Mind) accompany the patterns and behavior in Senayan politicians, so "we" is no more taken aback when many of the People's Council (Parliament) stumble snapper class corruption.
Political Immediasi like a piece of land full of plants that they want to grow. Although, among the plants do not have a better quality than others. So likewise, with our politicians today. The battle became symbolic of the inevitability of this political immediasi. No terbanyangkan how 38 national political parties and six at the local level for the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam bracnmark battle each other (read; symbol) politics. At the same time, the old parties, especially the five major 2004 election results, biting and fighting each other, dipersengit with the presence of "players" new. This symbolic competition (both symbols of religion or nonagama) strengthen public understanding of the political actors / political machine "just segitukah quality of our politics".
Liberal democracy that gave birth to illegitimate political immediasi will make Indonesia more kupak. In fact, the proliferation of political competition more symbolically dragging primordial symbols, religion, ideology into the field fast pendangkalan meaning. In fact, religion and nationalism have the magic words from pendangkalan political penetration. When the sentences of this sacred experience whether to pendangkalan our mentransedenkan especially this nation. For the religious phrase is no longer a sacred, as well as the sentence of nationalism that is no longer a powerful glue. Thus the liberal democracy grip hurt the nation, and change the country's political spirit. Merenunglah for fathers land?
