For a nation to be a democracy, it must, at a minimum, respect the fundamental rights of its citizens and establish various important political institutions to curb the monopolization of power. A country that fails to meet these two conditions is not a democracy in any sense. This is correct. 

Lee Jae-myung Administration's 7 Months... A Tyranny of Sedition Accusations

However, what is the reality in our country, where the constitution begins with Article 1 stating, "The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic"? Is South Korea a democracy or a socialist state right now?

If you ask me, I would say that South Korea has fallen into a state of "corrupt democracy." This is because I view the past 7 months of the Lee Jae-myung administration, which has lacked the democratic components of "respect for fundamental rights" and "curbing the monopolization of power," as a period of self-destructive democracy. 

Indeed. Lee Jae-myung's 7 months in power were not politics but rather a tyranny (妄治). This is because all branches of government – legislative, judicial, and executive – were mobilized in a frenzy of accusations of sedition, leading to a chaotic display of power. 

The situation is similar in the United States. This is because the judgment of the Joe Biden administration, a Democratic government disguised in the mask of democracy, is in full swing. This administration has engaged in election fraud and has depleted the hegemonic power of the United States through corruption by privatizing state power. 

That's right. The Biden administration in the U.S., established through fraudulent elections, is strikingly similar to the Lee Jae-myung administration. Privatization of intelligence agencies is commonplace, and international aid funds channeled through government agencies have ended up in their pockets as personal funds. 

America Returning to "America First"!

What is interesting is that former President Donald Trump, who was ostracized and detained as a conspiracy theorist of election fraud, is now making a rapid comeback, advocating for "America First" and spearheading national reconstruction at the speed of light. 

It is a divine blessing that Trump realized that leftists worldwide, not just in the U.S. or Korea, operate under the guise of democracy while practicing populism. If Trump, who was indicted along with over 1,500 supporters, had not been re-elected, the consequences are horrifying to even imagine. 

President Trump is now fundamentally reshaping the world's pseudo-democracies, those with "horns on their buttocks" that mock liberalism, or rather, republicanism. He is dismantling the anarchy masked as democracy as if emptying out a dilapidated house. 

This is because global communism, through China's Belt and Road Initiative spearheaded by Venezuela, is imminent, and President Trump, despite his 80 years, is standing alone to dismantle "pseudo-democracies worldwide." 

Our Nation Ruined by Pseudo-Democracy, Yet There Is Hope

The problem is that in our country, there is no one to oppose the criminal Lee Jae-myung. However, starting today, the situation has changed dramatically. Jang Dong-hyuk, the leader of the People Power Party, who called off his hunger strike in response to special counsel requests at the request of former President Park Geun-hye, said:

"I am ending my hunger strike today for a longer and greater fight. However, the struggle against the tyranny of the corrupt Lee Jae-myung administration and the Democratic Party will ignite like wildfire starting today. The true hunger strike begins today."

I am confident that if Jang Dong-hyuk, who, after an 8-day struggle, declared "the true hunger strike begins today," is joined by 52 million citizens, the Democratic Party, the main culprit behind the corruption of South Korean democracy, and Lee Jae-myung himself will be reduced to mere embers. 

To Representative Jang Dong-hyuk, the "man of the red rose," I implore you: Please do not forget the anguish of your 8-day hunger strike and boldly take the lead in creating a new paradigm for corrupt South Korean democracy.
