Abstract

This paper wants to go beyond the study of the mainstream environment so far. This study wants to provide another perspective that environmental struggles can be carried out by combining religious symbols with the perspective of Marxism. We can trace this from the thoughts and movements of the FNKSDA (Nahdliyin Front for the Sovereignty of Natural Resources). In the thoughts and movements of the FNKSDA, clearly the environmental struggle carried out was inspired by the Marxist movement. The FNKSDA can be interpreted as the first, the concrete form of "fusion" of Islamic thought and Marxism about the importance of environmental sustainability. Second, the FNKSDA is a space for the expression of its struggle. For example, the FNKSDA made an environmental study called "Ngaji Hadist Lingkungan", "Ngaji Agraria", and "Jurisprudence and Marxism" as a concrete step in their concern for the fate of the environment and oppressed society. This is proof that the FNKSDA is not only engaged in the realm of thought or ideas but is carrying out movement actions against environmental damage while still carrying its identity. This is the uniqueness or uniqueness of the FNKSDA.
