Sukarno, the first President of the Indonesian Republic, was a charismatic leader with a revolutionary bent. He was renowned for his fiery speeches and impassioned, inspirational rhetoric. In this speech, Sukarno presents his social vision of Marhaenism. Marhaenism was a term coined by Sukarno to refer to the Indonesian economic system of many poor farmers, who owned their own land and farming tools but were not of a privileged class. The word is derived from Marhaen, supposedly the name of a poor farmer who Sukarno met while cycling through the countryside.

The Southeast Asia Pamphlet collection contains a large number of speeches by Sukarno, the first President of the Indonesian Republic.
