Nasakom and the Formulation of Pancasila: A Historical Analysis.

Nasakom, an abbreviation of Nationalism, Religion, and Communism, is a political concept introduced by President Soekarno in the 1960s. Meanwhile, Pancasila has existed since the proclamation of Indonesian independence in 1945. To understand how Nasakom formulated or influenced Pancasila, we need to look at the historical context and development of ideology in Indonesia.  

Background of Nasakom.  

1. The Nasakom concept was introduced by Soekarno as an effort to unite various political forces in Indonesia.  
2. Nationalism represents the nationalist group, Religion represents the religious group (especially Islam), and Communism represents the left group.  
3. Soekarno believed that these three elements could unite to build Indonesia.  

Pancasila and Its Formulation.  

1. Pancasila was formulated in 1945, long before the Nasakom concept was introduced.  
2. The initial formulation of Pancasila involved various figures from various ideological backgrounds.  
3. The five principles in Pancasila reflect the compromise and synthesis of the various views that existed at that time.  

Relationship between Nasakom and Pancasila.  

1. Nasakom did not formulate Pancasila, but rather Soekarno's interpretation of Pancasila.  
2. Soekarno saw Nasakom as the embodiment of Pancasila values in the context of practical politics.  
3. In Soekarno's view:  
   - Nationalism is reflected in the 3rd principle (Unity of Indonesia)  
   - Religion is reflected in the 1st principle (Belief in the One Almighty God)  
   - Communism, or more precisely Indonesian socialism, is reflected in the 5th principle (Social Justice for All Indonesian People)  

Influence of Nasakom on Interpretation of Pancasila.  

1. Nasakom influenced the way Pancasila was interpreted and implemented in government policies during the Soekarno era.  
2. This concept encouraged political inclusivity by accommodating various ideological streams.  
3. However, the implementation of Nasakom also caused political tension, especially between religious and communist groups.  

Criticism and Controversy.  

1. Much criticism emerged of Soekarno's efforts to combine communism with nationalism and religion.  
2. Religious groups, especially Islam, felt threatened by the entry of communist elements.  
3. The peak of tension occurred during the G30S/PKI incident in 1965, which ended the era of Soekarno's Guided Democracy.  

Conclusion.

Nasakom did not formulate Pancasila in the true sense, because Pancasila had existed before the concept of Nasakom was introduced. However, Nasakom can be seen as Soekarno's attempt to interpret and implement the values of Pancasila in the context of Indonesian politics in the 1960s. Although controversial, this concept reflects an attempt to unite various political forces in Indonesia based on the principles of Pancasila.
