- Abstract
This paper discusses the idea of Soedjatmoko on democracy. In the late 1950s, Soedjatmoko and Soekarno had different vision on how to establish democratic society. If Soekarno proposed guided democracy, Soedjatmoko critized Soekarno’s guided democracy and founded the democractic league. His league attempted to promote the ideal democracy in Indonesia. However, Soekarno repressed his movement, but he continually sounded the truly democracy by his papers. Using digital library research of membacasoedjatmoko.com, we could revisit Soedjatmoko’s democracy. It is believed that his vision could be an alternative to reconceptualize and reactualize democratic practice in Indonesia. Indonesian democracy, in practice, encountered a whicked problem in term of exclusivism. This exclusivism is represented by some practices of passive participation, mal succession in political party, the loose of opposition, money politics in election, hoax and fake news, and intolerance problem. Those problems have stimulated social disparity and inequality. It is worth to revisit Soedjatmoko’s democracy and reflect his vision to sustain Indonesian inclusivism and welfare.
