June 2, 2016: Neo-capitalism is more dangerous than the PKI
At that time, there was a symposium entitled ‘Protect Pancasila from the threats of PKI and other ideologies. The event took place in Balai Kartini, Jakarta.
However, at the time, Gatot was of the opinion that the ideology of capitalism was more dangerous than the PKI, which was once known to carry the Marxist-Leninist version of communism. Gatot gave an example in countries affected by neo-capitalism and neoliberalism.
“The PKI is dangerous but what is more dangerous is neo-capitalism, neoliberalism,” Gatot said in Jakarta on Thursday (2/6/2016).
Gatot gave an example in countries affected by neo-capitalism and neoliberalism. For example, in the Netherlands, France, and Denmark, churches began to empty and people became atheists. But somehow, Gatot later connected this phenomenon with an introductory narrative for the entry of communism.

“Communists like the devil are appearing in secret. In Europe the process towards atheism is taking place. Starting with selling the church for properties. Every year the church loses 60 thousand parishioners. When it is an atheist then communism. You cannot see but this process It happens. It can happen in our country. “Gatot said.
At the time, he said that communism emerged at a critical time at the beginning of the independence of the Netherlands. In 1965, the communists carried out a massacre that began with an economic crisis and social disparities and beliefs. But now, if Indonesia succeeds in prosperity, Pancasila’s ideology will remain strong.
“If we are prosperous, no ideology alien to Pancasila will enter. We must unite to prioritize work,” Gatot said.
