Cisco router ada hubunganya dengan Sjahrir dan Hatta :-) Saya dari dulu sekali penasaran, bapak bangsa kita ini ada gak sich yang punya konsep yang jelas tentang kesejahteraan dan demokrasi. Saya tidak ketemu di tulisan2 Sukarno, Subandrio, Suharto dll, saya malah ketemu konsep kesejahteraan Indonesia yang asli dari Sjahrir dan Hatta. Mungkin sekali mereka yang paling pertama mengatakan, agar Indonesia sejahtera, SDMnya yang harus dibangun terlebih dahulu, hindari banyak tradisional culture (yg buruk2) dari Indonesia. Kembangkan teknologi. Hidup Sosial dan jangan serakah. Mereka juga sangat terbuka dalam melakukan kritik internal terhadap bangsnya sendiri (gak kayak orang tua ORLA lainya yang 'Asal Babeh Senang'). Ini sedikit kritik Sjahrir terhadap cultur pada 1938 : ------ Poedjangga Baroe 1938 & Sjahrir Politics & Exile. Search for "Kritiek En Opbouw" on the net ============================== ==================== Early in 1938, Sjahrir published one of his very few articles from exile in Banda Neira and Boven Digul , a long essay for the Batavia Indonesian Literary Journal "Pedjangga Baroe, "New Writer". Bourgeius culture, as he wrote : which also is called western culture, has already become the universal culture, the culture of the world the culture of educated men in the East is nothing but this western culture This truth and this reality do not necessarily degrade [eastern intellectuals]. On the contrary, they are in accordance with the sprit of time. For the eastern man, Sjahrir wrote in same essay, western culture was an `heirloom' [poesaka], which he must absorb and master. This was not a suggestion of surrender. Indonesian culture, Sjahrir wrote, was "very young". It may be illuminating to make an inventory of what Sjahrir disliked in "Eastern Culture" , such as the civil-servant mentality" , obsession with "hierarchy" , "a feudal ideology", "a slave mentality", and what grew out of all this , are "Eastern inferiority complexes" ; next, "stagnancy" and an inclination to "tranquility and reflection", "gentleness [kehaolesan atau terlalu haloes]", excessive tolerance , a propensity for "mystics", a "museum-and-incence style of life and a "disregard for the real world and life, a virtuosity in the art of negation". Sjahrir dreams about the cultivating the society full of `progressive-ness', full of spirit and joy, "a dynamic [dynamisch] society which keeps thinking and progress as time develops. The prime "good' quality of the eastern man, to Sjahrir in Banda Neira as before are "dynamism", a "dynamic spirit", a "vitality", "a capacity to see one's life's strife, as a fight and as a movement" , The next "good" quality was `rationality`, allied with sobriety, matter-of-factness", and also a "moral responsibility". A man who was "matter-of-fact [nuchter]", As Shahrir wrote, could hardly fall victim "to the phantasies of Ramayana & Mahabrata". To such a modern Eastern man, Sjahrir believed, there might be "no cosmic life' but the life of humans, dignifying , enriching and beautifying man as a specifies. This was a belief in universal man. Only `rationality`, sjahrir believed "is powerful enough to rule this world".
