Pendidikan politik is also responsibility of political parties, but no one does it right now.
The best example of it was PKI actually, no joke. Problem during the 50s and 60s was illiteracy or buta huruf, and they were the one that went down to addressed the problem and did the pendidikan politik, one of the key for their grassroots support.
Pendidikan politik is most of the time just propaganda that the state or certain organizations hyped up.
Pendidikan here has nothing to do with an actual education, it means you direct people to think a certain way and behind this
arahan there's always political interests.
It does not give the common man a general idea of the state of affairs, because let's face it most people don't care about the affairs of the state, they just want to pay their bill. So to grab their attention
pendidikan politik directed them to do what the state wants them to do via what I could only describe as propaganda.
During the new order, this
pendidikan politik amounts to Pendidikan Pancasila which has nothing to do with the latter.
These days they use polls, "research" groups, think tanks, etc to advance their political interest hidden beneath the cloak of
pendidikan politik
If these parties are communists, you bet their
pendidikan politik will push for communism
if these parties are liberals, you bet the
pendidikan politik will push for liberal thoughts
etc
This is not the same with the Shura, in which the only first and foremost interest is Islam and the state of affairs of Islam. Not in a democracy where various organization will push their own interests by FOOLING the common man to fight for them.
This is why in the end, in any democracy, populism always wins. You see the rise of Trump, Brexit, etc. Populists won, not by making sure that the commoners understood the pros and cons of their actions but by making sure they supported them unconditionally mostly through a series of LIES. This is how Ben Gvir and Smotrich get their seats, not because they're qualified statesmen, but because they simply talk the talk that Israelis want to hear. This is how successive Athenian senators push Athens into war with Macedonia, by fooling people through a series of lies and populism.
And just like Athens, these democracies will be destroyed by their democratic process.
The fact that most countries I oppose are democracies, makes my life a lot better
Army, which could be called as de facto political party answered it with village level Bintara Pembina during the 60s. Motivation for the making of Babinsa were political during the Cold War.
And this is another reason why people (Muslims foremost) need to stop participating in this crap from ancient Greece. There is no such thing as democracy. If voting actually leads to actual changes, these people in power would make them illegal.
in 1991, the FIS party won the Presidential election in Algeria, the army moved in and nullified the election
In Turkiye, successive Prime Ministers/President were removed after being elected, by the army. they tried one with Erdogan but failed
So when people understand how the world works, they would find democracy as the bottom of the pit when it comes to political choices.
