Toward bourgeois hegemony

Toward bourgeois hegemony

From Media Indonesia

The political discourses in the country today make a clear-cut distinction between the public sector represented by the state and the private sector embodying market forces.

In a capitalist country where the market mechanism functions properly, it is apparent that its socio-economic mechanism is controlled by initiatives of the private sector as the most dominant power.

Meanwhile, the state as the public sector is only limited to formulating policies for the creation of a situation conducive to the growth of the private sector.

In the long run, this situation will strengthen the bourgeois hegemony over the construction of the economic system. The hegemony is so strong that the country may one day lose its power of control.
