If the condition shows that the full sovereignty belongs to society, it will be a condition where democracy is fully implemented. Indonesia is a democratic country, it shown by the election of president, member of legislative, and even the leader for a small district involving their people to choose the leader. However, Professor Thorsten Polleit from Frankfurt School of Finance said that democratic system has already affected many things, for example like the voting system which will make people justifies any means to reach their goals, etc. This problem is a part of the democracy weakness which will decrease the true implementation of democracy in Indonesia. As the young generation, should we ignore this?   

Democratic system is good to be implemented in a country which has many differences like Indonesia. Indonesia has 5 accrued religions, 1.340 ethnic groups, and more differences. If Indonesia implements a similarity system with authoritative system, there will be many rebellions because there are many aspects of life, aspects of thought, which is different one and another and could not be unified to be one system. Those rebellions will destroy many aspects of life in this country, and will create more war which will increase the rate of poverty in Indonesia. The rebellion will also affect the run of economy, for instance like when the rebellion appeared in Indonesia (G30S PKI) at 1965, the rate of inflation turned to 600%, made the price increase rapidly, and increased the rate of poverty in Indonesia. And not only that, but rebellion will also cause distraction. The distraction of one country tend to make many countries plans to take over this country, and later, the freedom is not implemented just like an independent country. We already felt this phenomenon in the past, when Dutch country colonized Indonesia for 350 years, and we are as the owner of this country be a slave for foreigners.

Because of democratic system, people of Indonesia can criticize the regulation that the government made. We can see now in Myanmar. They use a democratic system, but most of the implementation is more likely aims to authoritative system. It shown by the condition where the people in this country is not brave enough to say everything what they want, like do a protest to the military regime, or even say their empathy to Rohingya faction. Compare to the people in Indonesia, we have a freedom to express our thought by words, or even by mass media.

The news about the resurrection of PKI is horrendous now. This phenomenon is not as simple as it sound. If people say something easily about communist, we need to take an action in order to avoid the growth of this party. Indonesia is a country which has many differences, and the tolerance aspect is already implemented in our society. If communist system implements in this country, not only about believes will be affected, but also differences will be united to be one system of think, and human who wants to disagree with this system will be in trouble, like what happen in Indonesia at Soekarno regime, when PKI (Partai Komunis Indonesia) heartlessly killed many people just because of small differences, for example like the assassination of Masyumi Activist, Lebak Regent, Governoor Suryo, the kidnapping of Otto Iskandardinata, etc. After those of phenomenon, will you ignore PKI? Will you carelessly decrease the run of democracy? It is our responsibility as the young generation who will run the system in the future to take an action in order to increase the implementation of democracy in this country, and avoid the run of communist system. Young generation have a power to affect the govenment regulation, if this problem can not be erase, do we dare to show our face? Thank you J
