The Differences between the Conservative and Revolutionary. These two terms sound interesting and relevant to be discussed in the national context. This term describes the nature and character of a change that is being carried out by a country. They are also becoming the model of the movement for change that is carried by each power and social-political group in a nation.

Conservatives

Conservatives are political attitudes and behaviors that do not want any meaningful (fundamental) change in a system. This attitude is usually adopted by those who are enjoying a privileged position of power in a structure or at least feel very benefited by the existing system. They are generally the financiers, authorities, lickers, and accomplices of a regime.

The conservatives are few but they are the dominant force in a country’s socio-political system. It is they who then control and run the state power system to reap profits and enjoy power.

To make their power last long, conservatives are more likely to maintain and preserve existing systems.

Even if they make changes because of insistence and outside encouragement by the opposition groups. They only want the changes not to completely shift or eliminate their position in power. Even then, the change is only possible if the situation is already. Very crisis and urgent which forces them to step down from positions of power.

That could have happened if the resistance movement was so strong, massive, and organized in a nation. Changes like this that have happened in this country when the new order regime was overthrown by the student movement supported by scholars and the masses of the people.

However, these changes have not brought significant changes to the life of bola 88 society and the progress of the nation until today. Because conservatives are back in power and are entrenched in our state system.

Revolutionary

Unlike the conservative term, revolutionary is a situation of massive and fundamental changes in a constitutional system. So the revolutionaries are very at odds with those who are conservative. Revolutionaries are generally those who feel oppressed, exploited, and betrayed by rulers who are positioned as conservatives.

The revolutionaries are not only from the oppressed workers, peasants, and fishermen, but also intellectuals and middle class who have an ideological awareness to make fundamental changes in a system. Those who are intellectual and middle class have a strategic role to spearhead, organize, agitate, and encourage the masses in taking the fight.

It’s just that intellectual figures, scholars, and middle-class people are very rare in the socio-political context of our nation today. The intellectuals and middle-class people are now generally conservative, who only work as craftsmen, supporters, and even sycophants of the regime.

The intellectuals and revolutionary middle-class figures existed only in the history. Of our independence decades ago and the others are revolutionary figures from intellectuals. Scholars, and middle-class who want to fight the Dutch company to free the nation from the process of oppression and colonialism.

Such revolutionary figures have been lost in the life of our nation. What remains is only those who are pragmatic, opportunistic, and conservative. The generation of fighters as before seemed to be interrupted by the currents and changing times.
