Talk:Yoon Suk Yeol

Ultraconservatism =/= ultranationalism

In South Korean politics, nationalism, especially ethnic nationalism, is not a right-wing ideology. Immigration policy is not much different between DPK and PPP, but refugee policy is rather more conservative in "liberal" DPK than "conservative" PPP. The PPP is a right-wing populist political party because it exploits the pervasive anti-feminism and anti-LGBT sentiment in South Korea, but ethnic nationalism is rather weaker than the DPK.

Cases in which nationalism appears entirely as right-wing politics are usually countries that have led or lead imperialism. Yoon Suk Yeol is anti-LGBT and anti-feminist, but he is not anti-immigrant, and he is not an Korean ethnic nationalist because he is friendly to the US/Japan and hostile to North Korea.

Since South Korea is a post-colonial country, the political spectrum on the left and right is very unique. Rather, Lee Jae-myung, a "liberal", is more likely to conform to anti-Japanese ethnic nationalism. Fascism is a far-right ideology based on ethnic nationalism, and I don't think it's appropriate to weave Yoon into the category of "fascists". (Of course, I hate Yoon Suk Yeol very, very much.)

Korean conservatives are extreme right-wingers on women's, LGBT, and disability issues, but nationalism is not that strong on immigration and foreign affairs. First of all, South Korean conservatives like Japan and the U.S. The conservative tradition in the South is to not make one's voice heard from powerful nations. This is called 사대주의 in Korean, and in the South Korea, 사대주의 is a concept that conflicts with 민족주의 (=ethnic nationalism). North Korea has become an anti-Japanese/anti-American/partial-anti-Chinese "ultranationalist" because it abhors the 사대주의 sentiment of Korean conservatism. South Korean conservatives are voluntary colonialists, who were collaborators on Chinese imperialism until the 19th century, and are now collaborators on American/Japanese imperialism. While ultranationalism should be a far-right ideology by nature, in post-colonial countries, it is sometimes combined with left-wing politics. (In fact, even during the French Revolution, 'nationalism' was a left-wing ideology such as Jacobin, and right-wing traditionalist conservatives opposed 'nationalism' to defend the rights of aristocrats and royalty internationally.)
