Tan Malaka, a revolutionary figure in Indonesian history, is celebrated for his ability to integrate communism, nationalism, and Islamic values. Through his works, Naar de Republiek and Madilog, he laid the foundation for a just and democratic society that emphasizes social welfare and education. This article revisits his contributions to Indonesia's independence movement and explores the contemporary relevance of his ideas in addressing socio-economic disparities. By analyzing his engagement with Islamic movements and critiques of colonial capitalism, this study positions Tan Malaka as not only a communist but also a unifying figure for Indonesia's ideological diversity.
