Political actions and situations are determined by the goal of political agents. The ideal goal is the root of the ideal political actions and situation. The most ideal goal is justice and public welfare. It will appear through the strategy that does not destruct the unity of community and policies that prosper the community. According to this perspective, Indonesia’s political situation is unideal. The actions and means chosen by political agents are not directed at the ideal goals. Hoaxes and claims that cannot be accounted for are used to overthrow political opponents. The forbidden set of highly emotive issues involving ethnicity, religion, race, and class-which are sensitive and potentially can create conflict and disintegration-have been used to mobilize the masses and gain political support. This study provides an understanding of Indonesian unideal political situation by showing the driving forces of the political agents. What kind of goal drives the actions of political agents and shapes Indonesia’s political situation? There are two kinds of goal. First, the explicit end, a goal that is disclosed to the public. Second, the implicit end, the goal that is not expressed even hidden from the goal disclosed. The second is the main power that conditions all political actions because the explicit end more often only becomes the means to achieve the implicit end. This chapter aims to find the implicit end, the driving force of Indonesia’s political agents. It will begin by using Sutor’s political perspective to show that the goal of political agents is unideal. Then Marx’s thought is used as a conceptual framework to find the implicit end that drives the political agents. The findings are tested for consistency by putting it back to the ideal political perspective. So that, the actions of Indonesia’s political agents and Indonesia’s political situation are perceived. The finding is different from previous findings in which culture, religion and the lack of the important emotions for inter-connected societies are considered as the main driving force. The finding of this chapter is: economic interest is the explicit end and the driving force of Indonesia’s political agents. It is not a rejection of previous findings. It shows that economic interest is the most fundamental driving force because cultures, religions and emotions are the great forces that can be driven to serve economic interest. © 2021 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
