President Yoon Warns that Democracy is Toppled By Totalitarianism, Socialism, and Corruption
President Yoon gave some blunt advice to some new vice-governmental ministers:
Yoon gave the instruction during lunch with 13 new vice minister-level officials after presenting them with certificates of appointment, according to Lee Do-woon.
“Fight ruthlessly against cartels with vested interests,” Yoon was quoted as saying, repeating a mission he gave to several presidential secretaries last week after they were nominated as vice ministers.
“Our government is an anti-cartel government,” he said. “What topples a democratic society from the outside is totalitarianism and socialism, but what topples it from the inside is corrupt cartels.”
Yoon called on the new vice ministers to be loyal to the spirit of the Constitution, saying both domestic and foreign affairs should be conducted in the spirit of the liberal democratic Constitution.
“Be loyal to the state, the nation and the constitutional system,” he said. “I am not saying you should switch horses, but that you should ride your horses properly in the spirit of the Constitution.”

What does this guy know anything about ‘democracy’, lol?
Best example in South Korean History is Rhee to Park although Park softened a bit, the generals who followed him were not as straight or as smart…
DJ to Roh to Moon was headed down the same path… but it would have been Xi controlling the RoK. Possibly through their overfed puppet in Pyongyang.
I find it mildly amusing that, to a leftist, “democracy” is doing things their way, with no dissent allowed.
Yoon was no Conservative; but he keeps looking better and better.
Chinabots remind me of old Soviet jokes;
“How’s today, Boris.”
“Average.”
“Average?”
“Worse than yesterday, better than tomorrow, so average.”
Yoon was no Conservative; but he keeps looking better and better.
I wonder what is the reasoning behind setnaffa’s comment above.
The guy joined the PPP and is following the PPP line, so I wonder what is setnaffa reasoning behind the statement that he “was no Conservative.”
Strange that he thinks that Yoon is “looking better and better” when most Koreans even the Conservatives thinks he’s screwing things up and is way over his head.
I’m curious about why setnaffa thinks that way but knowing him, he doesn’t have an answer and will probably send in one of his long winded sockpuppets to cover up his ignorance with long gibberish.
