Indonesia · 1945–1967
Sukarno
Independence leader. Guided democracy and a anti-Western Third World stance, ending in dictatorship.
Sukarno is on the world-leaders chart for Indonesia, 1945–1967. The placement note, from the public governing record, is: Independence leader. Guided democracy and a anti-Western Third World stance, ending in dictatorship.
The dot is economics -30 and authority +52, on a scale from −100 to +100. That is left of center on economics. The other axis sits toward authority. Left means a larger public role. Up means more authority. Neither direction is treated as the correct one.
A second note separates what was said in public from what the government then did. Said: Guided democracy and a third way between the blocs. Done: Parliament was dissolved. The economy buckled. The army removed him. The gap, when there is one, is part of the placement. A promise that was kept and a promise that was dropped are not given the same weight.
The nearest other figures on these two numbers are Gamal Abdel Nasser (Egypt, -38 / +60) and Juan Perón (Argentina, -18 / +56). Nearest means nearest on the chart, not alike in character.
Two governments can share a number and share nothing else. The source is the public governing record, not a news write-up and not a campaign advertisement.
