It even controls the press, polsters and </div><div>constitutional court, which is very similar to what the Chavez </div><div>regime did in Venezuela twenty years ago.</div><div> </div><div>Now it can legally do anything it likes to do. </div><div>Many Koreans express their objection to the current regime's </div><div>mobocracy but it turns deaf ear to their voice, just listening to </div><div>the voice of ardent supporters who are far less than objectors </div><div>in number, being assured that it can keep its political power forever </div><div>through political maneuvering.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Koreans have seen vividly with their own eyes what had happened to</div><div>Venezuela, Greece and Argentina as the result of the leftist socialistic</div><div>governments' ruling that is exactly like the Korean government's but </div><div>many Koreans who got sick and tired of the long economic downturn</div><div>in Korea blindly support the current regime with a groundless hope and</div><div>vague expectation that a leftist socialistic government might be able to </div><div>revive the national economy, closing their eyes to the reality of other</div><div>leftist socialistic countries.</div><div> </div><div>However, the miserable consequence of implementing leftist socialistic</div><div>economic policy for the last two and half years proves that if the regime</div><div>does not revise its economic policy, Korea will face its worst economic</div><div>disaster in its history. </div><div> </div><div>The fanatical supporters of the current regime are accomplices in pulling</div><div>down the national economy to a bottomless pit. Heritage Foundaton in</div><div>America pointed out that due to the current regime's misguided economic</div><div>policy Korean youths suffer most without getting jobs while they will have</div><div>to bear the financial burden in the future owing to the regime's aggressive</div><div>fiscal spending mostly funded by national debt.</div><div> </div><div>The real problem is that the regime sticks to its misguided anachronistic </div><div>economic policy despite the repeated proofs that economy is going in a<div>wrong direction.</div><div> </div><div>Because it is expected that the current regime will stay in power at least </div><div>for a decade or so without changing its economic policy, we Koreans will</div><div>experience a mobocracy much worse than either monarchy or aristocracy</div><div>that the ruling class sometimes chooses to work for the majority of people.</div><div> </div><div> </div></div>
