Nasakom

Nasakom (which stands for nationalism, religion and communism; (Indonesian: Nasionalisme, Agama, Komunisme)) was a political concept coined by President Sukarno. This concept prevailed in Indonesia from 1959 during the Guided Democracy Era until the New Order, in 1966. Sukarno's idea of Nasakom was an attempt to unify various political ideologies.[1][2][3][4] Nasakom attempted to unite the nationalist, religious, and communist groups that at that time had the most power in Indonesian politics.
