"Let me guess, you bet with confidence that his father will lose." Aqila said after stopping laughing. Alvin nodded spontaneously. Aqila chuckled again.
"Okay of the time! Don't be afraid of that. Our country is a democracy" said Alvin calmly.
"We use the democratic system, but the system is just a system. The system can be cooped up and severely damaged if a group of people master it. The truth is, elections are just a formality" Adelia said.
"Democracy is not as simple as choosing the likes and dislikes. People do not dare to express their opinions openly. Once someone has a different opinion, the cunning rulers throw them into prison" Aqila said seriously.
"Wait, what do you mean try?" asked Ray who was objected at the break even heard the discussion on the theme of democracy.
"It's not. The problem is that the voice of the people is never one in a large and diverse society, so it is very difficult to make all citizens to agree on anything. This is why a pure democratic system becomes difficult to materialize" said Alvin who made Ray snorting annoyed at being ignored.
"All citizens have the right to express themselves, but must be tolerant and not hit the laws that have been set by the state" he said, staring at Aqila who had voiced that different opinions would go to prison.
Adel sighed then said. "In the book, Hatta wrote about the oppression of Indonesian democracy. He criticized the democracy that is run in a guided manner. He was disappointed with Sukarno's one man show style, flamboyance, and playful statecraft. The relationship of these two "big guys" is also, increasingly tenuous even though it is not broken up. The book that Hatta wrote was finally banned from circulation."
Alvin blinked his eyes. Want to argue again but can't. That's reality but what he really wants to show and strongly disagree is about the flexibility of the people in choosing opinions. Does anyone who makes an open and different opinion go to jail? Where's the bullshit? Her thought.
"Examples of the fragility of Indonesian democracy today is actually already visible in front of the eye. The general election is now getting less and less qualified. The scattering of giving money before people enter the electoral booth is no longer a secret. Competition campaigns that resulted in the community being split and berating each other also occurred. Foreign exchange is sucked very large to carry out all activities that are actually only a formality that is often already known in the public is called democracy." Lita chiming.
"So what are you guys talking about?" asked Baim who scratched his head but did not itch at all.
"It's just that Alvin's ready to lose tomorrow. Because usually officials who were previously difficult to be overthrown" said Adelia.
The six teenagers were back in conversation. Sometimes argue. Things that happen in this school. For them, exchanging opinions is fun. Similarly, when stating a strong argument and no one can refute it. However, Alvin was no longer concentrated on remembering what Daniel said earlier.
