South Korea’s illiberal left: authoritarians in the service of totalitarians
2014-11-23
Josh Stanton explains just how illiberal the South Korean left is, and has been. The only thing he gets wrong is that he thinks there may be a difference between the South Korean left and the American left. Well written and recommended for a Sunday morning.

#2  Mehhh, why not?

Did not 1990's CLINTONISM indic that FASCISM, AKA "LIMITED COMMUNISM", IS THE NEW COMMUNISM???

Hence officially heralding in Amerika's sacred National/Nationalist ["Limited Globalist"' UNITARIAN GOP-DEM ESTABLISHMENT, I.E. BOEHNER-VS?-REID???

And I use the term "versus" politely.

#1  Thus, what American and European liberals almost always get wrong about the Korean left is how illiberal it is

I don't buy some of the comparisons drawn. It is difficult to wrap one's head around some of the comparisons drawn between the American and Euro liberals and South Korean liberals. For example, the above quote would suggest that the American and Euro liberals are liberal and tolerant. Maybe the Euros are but the American left tends to be very illiberal and intolerant. The liberals have gone "hard left" since Obola and crew have taken over. It would be likely that would continue with Hildebeast or Fauxchahontas.
