Politics to Realize Common Good with ‘Aristotle’s Classical Theory’
By: Abdul Azis
Head of Alkausar Indramayu
Seeing Indramayu as a small city left behind in West Java, maybe we can implement it together in Tikson’s theory “Politics 2005”, so that political dynamics are maintained, so that society remains in a measurable zone, in accordance with the goals of the nation and state. So Tikson analogizes it in three implementation theories based on: The reality of development, modernization and dependence.
Tikson’s discussion suggests that development truly begins with the cool hand of a leader. So the best instrument in regional or city development is usually marked by the habits of a leader in accommodating society, and is forced to be able to make modernization innovations so that society always depends on the important decisions of a leader.
In the era of Lucky Hakim – Syaefudin “LH-Sae 2025” leadership in Indramayu at this time, in my opinion, it has been able to make the community dependent, most of them always hope that the Regent or Deputy Regent will be present in various forums, even the short momentum of Eid al-Fitr, is used by the community to participate in the open house at the Raden Bagus Aria Wiralodra pendopo, which is an event that allows anyone to come to the pendopo as a guest to visit. This clearly proves that there is already a dependency from the community on the leadership of LH-Sae, so in my opinion, the regional government should immediately arrange a strategic position for development based on the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan “RPJMd” and make important resumes of the winning coalition proposals, both from the supporting parties and from the volunteers who number more than fifty winning volunteers, and immediately launch development products in the 100-day work program, and be careful in making decisions on official letters of rotation of the heads of the Regional Work Units “SKPD”, because from the hands of SKPD are born officials in their duties as budget users or users of goods, and are responsible for the implementation of government duties in certain fields.
Once again, the Regional Head Election “Pilkada” is a political process that is not only a political mechanism to fill democratic positions “through elections”, but also an implementation of the implementation of regional autonomy or real political decentralization. For that I agree that politics is an effort taken by citizens to realize the common good “Aristotle’s Classical Theory”.
So it is no wonder that the existence and dynamics of politics must always be maintained, as a manifestation of the diversity that exists in society.
