ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Nasakom

Nasakom is a word that is made up of three Indonesian words: 'nasionalisme', 'agama', and 'komunisme'. These are very big words that might be difficult to understand, but we can break them down into smaller parts to make them easier to understand.

1. Nasionalisme: This word means love for one's nation. It is like when you love your country and want good things for it. It is like you are proud to be a citizen of your country.

2. Agama: This word means religion. Religion is what people believe in about God or gods. Some people believe in one God, while others believe in many gods. Religion is very important to people, and it helps them to understand the world.

3. Komunisme: This word means a type of government. This type of government believes that everyone should be equal and that there should be no rich people or poor people. Everyone should work together to make sure that everyone has what they need.

So, when we put these three words together, nasakom means that people in Indonesia should love their country (nasionalisme), believe in their religion (agama), and work together to make sure everyone is equal (komunisme). This was an idea that was very important in Indonesia in the past, and many people followed it.
