"The New Era of The Student Movement in Indonesia"

After the reformation, the student movement organization in Indonesia was faced with a severe situation, namely the transnational ideological experiment in the form of neo-liberalism that constantly campaigns on liberalization in all sectors of society.

The Student Movement Position

On the other side, the growing ideology of religious fundamentalism increasingly destabilizing the nation's pluralistic joints led to the impact of student organizational movements such as losing direction in formulating ideological enemies.

If we observe what is happening to the current state of nationality is very apprehensive. A number of fundamental problems should be reflected together, because every problem will affect our lives in the nation and state.

From an economic point of view, the challenge of our nation in the era of industrial revolution 4.0 is still part of the social inequality we can see from Credit Suisse data, that 1 percent of the richest people in Indonesia control 49.3 percent of national wealth.

The data is also reinforced by the latest data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) which states that only 1 percent of Indonesian people control 68 percent of land resources. This figure proves that there are still many Indonesian people who are unable to feel the ownership of the land in their own country.

This is inversely related to the fact that occurred amidst the slogan of love of the homeland in the pulpit of political power.

Even though we know, the land is the main source of human life.

It is not enough that the complexity of this nation's problems will also face the disruption impact that we can not damp due to the revolutionary wave of industry 4.0. Especially the impact of the loss of a number of fields of work caused by the flood of creation of new technologies that can replace half the human labor to cause environmental shifts business towards the digital industry.

From a political perspective, social inequality that occurs due to the emergence of the phenomenon of "identity politics" based on LIPI research in 2016 which states that 25 percent of students and 21 percent of teachers declare Pancasila is no longer relevant.

While 52.3 percent of students and 14.2 percent of teachers said they agree with the violence for religious solidarity. That is, this problem needs to be resolved in order not to become a "fire in husk" that has the potential to threaten the existence of the unity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia in the frame of diversity.

Increasing the ratio of inter-religious, inter-ethnic and class conflict as well as increasing hate speech that occurred in some territory of NKRI lately increasingly distanced from the initial goal of the establishment of this country.

A New Chapter : To Start National Consolidation

Historically, student movement organizations have often been colored by ups and downs that are often dominated by conflict, whether horizontal or vertical conflict with the Government. The new era has demanded every thing to change.

If yesterday there is a term, Survival By The Fittest (who can best adapt, he is the survivor) is now Survival By The Fastest (who is the fastest, he is the one who survives).

In this increasingly complex age, change is an absolute undertaking for success. Therefore, student movement organizations must be able to do so-called "think global, act local".

On the basis of all aspects of the unfinished struggle, it is time for the student movement organization to come to the future of this nation by inviting all elements of the nation to join hands together, moving together in a national movement.

A national movement to implement consolidated concept, consolidated base, and consolidated elites by students.

First, the importance of consolidating the concept to rediscover the direction of the struggle of the student movement organization in realizing a system of government that favors the interests of the people based on the theories given by lecturers.

Secondly, the consolidation of the bases in question is the organizational process of student movement movement in the educational institution as a place of learning to influence the masses and make a study that becomes the recommendation of the student movement.

Third, it takes consolidation of the elite between student movement organizations and other organizations that can influence public policy politically and tactically.

As a milestone of the Indonesian national student movement in facing the new era, we can anticipate the threat of becoming an opportunity to make the nation of Indonesia a winning nation in the current global competition.

And this is a new chapter to start national consolidation in the face of the current national and state challenges.
