He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (271)

[The collectivism created by individualism is what America is today. We must keep that in mind.]

This is the United States, and an article published by a newspaper has attracted public attention.

When you think of capitalism, you think of America, and when you think of individualism, you think of America.

But at some point, the newspaper claims, America lost its value.

The specific details were as follows.

[America emphasizes individualism, but in the end, like-minded people form specific groups, which exist in various forms such as local meetings, clubs, and volunteer activities. In America, churches have long had a community function that combines local meetings, clubs, and volunteer activities.]

Why do Americans, who emphasize individualism, go to church?

The human mind wants to come together when it falls, and to come together when it falls.

Americans, who were trapped in individualism, began to form communities with like-minded people, and that was the function that the church played in American society.

We gather in church to meet people, not God.

But at some point, collectivism began to form around the church.

The percentage of Christians who support progress is only 42%, while the percentage of conservatives has soared to 83%.

Is this a recent development in the United States, where pastors have started making political statements?

In fact, past American politicians have foreseen the future.

“The church has the potential to transform American society into a collectivist society. Religious people should be banned from participating in politics.”

“What right does a church that doesn’t pay taxes have to talk about politics? They are not qualified to participate in politics.”

The Johnson Amendment, enacted in 1954, prohibits non-profit organizations such as churches from engaging in political activities or making political statements.

The United States, following strict separatism, deprived religious groups of tax exemptions if they engaged in political activities, and American society accepted this as a given.

But are the two really so perfectly separated?

The Republican Party has historically enjoyed support from America’s Christian community, and that share continues to grow.

“If you don’t believe in Christianity, you’re not fit to be an American!!”

“Those who do not believe in Christianity, get out of this land!!”

It’s no secret that Christianity is behind the far right.

Who says America is an individualistic country?

American society is already gradually becoming collectivized, and if the Republican Party wins this election, there is a high possibility that the United States will drift toward dictatorship like Korea.

Even in a democratic society, dictatorship is permitted as long as there is majority support.

Progressives, too, were forced to band together to resist the Republican Party.

However, public opinion was also formed criticizing such progressivism, and its content was roughly as follows.

[The United States has been running a trade deficit since 1968, and has been facing a crisis of rising prices and a declining dollar value, which has resulted in society suffering from inflation, rising unemployment, and a decline in investment and consumption.

And the Republican Party used this crisis as an opportunity to reorganize American society toward conservative collectivism.

So does progressivism have nothing to do with this situation?

The Democratic Party ran society as a collective system with President Roosevelt’s New Deal policy when the United States was suffering from the Great Depression.

Unlike the individualistic and laissez-faire previous governments, the Roosevelt administration justified income redistribution through bold fiscal spending to expand social infrastructure and the application of highly progressive taxes.

The minimum wage, workers’ right to organize, collective bargaining, and the right to action were also introduced at this time, and the rich saw with their own eyes that collectivized progressivism could take away what the privileged had.

It’s not surprising that the conservative right has become a group.

They have adopted collectivism to resist the collectivization of progressivism, and are now armed with white supremacist – pro-Christian – collectivist tendencies.

So how will progressivism resist them?

Expanding social security policies? Raising taxes on the wealthy? Increasing government spending? If you push such logic, conservatism will group together and resist even more fiercely.]

If you think about it, collectivization in America has very deep roots.

Wasn’t it American individualism to just leave people to figure out how to eat and live on their own?

But at some point, America began to control society and form groups under the ideology of progress.

Why did the argument that the rich are the enemies of society take hold?

Because progressives have defined the wealthy as America’s evil, collectivism was, if you think about it, the progressives’ first choice.

And this is why former President Reagan’s neoliberal policies received overwhelming support from the right wing.

How can the Democratic Party, which prints money and throws it away, be considered progressive? In fact, a Republican Party member criticized the Democratic Party by calling it the “American Labor Party.”

Is it wrong to say that the group that threatens American individualism and liberalism is not conservatives, but the Democratic Party and progressives?

An expert who identified himself as a Republican made his position clear.

“Again, this is a fight that progressives started. The rich are the ones who caused the Great Depression in the United States? At that time, the United States was enjoying a boom after World War I, and banks were lending money like crazy.

It is no secret that ordinary people thoughtlessly borrowed money and invested it in the stock market, which created a bubble in the stock market.

But why should the rich be held responsible for this?

Why can’t we say that America’s crisis was not because of the rich, but because of the banks lending money indiscriminately and the vain dreams of people who thought they could make money in stocks?

Are you afraid that your votes will drop if you blame those stupid beggars? The rich have nothing to do with America’s crisis, and those who play along and talk about raising taxes for the rich are now attacking America’s rich in groups.

American progressives are like communists.

Our conservatives will collectivize and fight the communists to the core.”

At this point, it’s a real declaration of war,

As progressives and conservatives grouped together, the issue escalated into civil war.

***

“Your Majesty, please enter.”

This is Daedeok County. I entered the conference room with a stern face.

In the United States, progressives and conservatives are now grouped together and are on the verge of civil war. Why has society come to this point?

The incident where the United States, which pursued individualism, changed into collectivism.

When we left everyone to fend for themselves, the country became collectivized starting with the Great Depression, and this led to a mass confrontation between the rich and the poor.

So what kind of society is Korea?

Individualism? Collectivism? Capitalism? Socialism? How do you define them? What is clear is that there is a Korean proverb that says, “When a cousin buys land, your stomach hurts.”

A famous quote that transcends the times,

I live well enough to live, but if others live better than me, that society is unfair.

This is something that American progressives have dug into so exquisitely. So many people are suffering from the Great Depression, but why are these rich people staying in warm rooms?

A perfect target for attack, and thus began a collective war.

Then what about Korea?

Compared to 40 years ago when we couldn’t even eat a proper meal, we now live in an affluent society.

The problem is that conflict between the rich and the poor is currently ongoing in Korea.

The people wanted the government to provide more welfare, and Kim Jong-pil, who dug into this point, created a base of votes with welfare policies.

This is why I blew up Kim Jong-pil. I put him in the prime minister’s seat to do politics for the country, but he ended up dividing society.

Are Koreans really poor? Or are they just pretending to be poor?

I made that point clear.

“There is an old saying that if your cousin buys land, your stomach hurts. It means that you feel sick when you see others doing well.

What do you guys think?

Did anyone feel sick to their stomach when they heard that I have $15 billion in assets?

Or did you nod when you heard that I pay 1.1 trillion won in taxes to the Korean government every year? Or did you think that I should serve the country a little more?

“Am I an enemy of Korea? Am I a stumbling block to this country who dissolves the parliament and practices dictatorship? Am I a corrupt person who pays little tax despite having a lot of money?”

I am proud to say that I have made efforts for Korean society.

The poorest country with an annual income of less than $30 has now been reborn as a country with an average annual income of $33,000.

I raised the bar a thousand times, so why do I have to hear people call me a corrupt person?

Now that we have $15 billion, we should give more to the country.

If that’s true, I have no choice but to reorganize this country into a collectivist one.

Why should I donate my wealth to society?

It is a collectivist act in itself, donating to contribute to society because we cannot survive alone.

But if you interpret that as an action to get tax exemption, then I am just an individualist.

People who call me a dictator and a totalitarian just because they see something in their eyes will see my donations as individualistic acts, while people who see me as a hero who founded the nation will see my donations as heroic acts.

I am here to confirm that,

The choice was left to the people.

Parliamentary democracy has been shattered by factionalism, and now Korea is at a crossroads.

Is it an absolute monarchy or is it still a democracy?

In an election that would choose the future of Korea, the people who held the power to choose exercised their votes.

[Do you want Marshal Park Sang-geun to remain in power forever?]

[Do you wish to be granted absolute and extra-legal powers?]

At this point, it means that he just wants to be king.

Is it okay to entrust the fate of 120 million people to one person?

The people who have watched me for the past 30 years have signed the vote in favor.

With an approval rating of 83%, I have risen to the position of an absolute being who transcends even the law.

“From now on, there is no escape for me. The only escape allowed is death.”

This is how I got on the train with no exit.

Someone told me to leave when the applause starts, but shouldn’t I speak up right away?

If I had applauded and left 10 years ago, would the people have left me alone?

If you look at the factional fight between Kim Jong-pil and Park Jeong-ui, if an incident were to break out, it would have been a huge blowout. Who would the people be looking for at that time?

If I had ignored that, the people would have called me ‘irresponsible’.

The country he founded has come to this point, and you’re just going to fold your arms just because he stepped down from power? In the end, I can’t escape that logic as long as I live.

A being who wants to disappear from people’s memories but cannot.

So I made a decision.

In the future, Korea will not have citizens fighting over the direction of the country like the US. They will just follow wherever the dictator goes. I clearly gave the citizens a choice, and this is their choice.

If I drive this country to the edge of a cliff, this country and its people will also fall off the cliff.

Now that everyone knows that, we hold our breath on the moving train.

Even I, who had to pull the train, was extremely nervous and held the steering wheel with the determination that the only way out was death.

Korea, starting anew,

The democratic state that had existed for the past 30 years has completely disappeared.

It is unknown what impact the change in political system in Korea will have on neighboring countries, and the United States is also in a state of confusion, so world public opinion is on high alert.
