The zaibatsu revolution under democratic politics
Late 1980sThe sudden arrival of a democratic system has resulted in a ironic long-term consequence, which is to empower the chaebols in their relationships with the government and civil society. Don't forget to share your experience!Park Chung hee and his military successorsUnder the leadership of authoritarian development oriented governments, they used to rule the country by controlling the media and judicial institutions. These so-called informants have not been released by authoritarian regimes for a clear reason: their political power was illegally seized through coups, and the scale of corruption caused by their so-called developmental alliances with the chaebols is exceptionally alarming. What do you think about this?
althoughThe South Korean government experienced a significant degree of democratization after 1987But itThe previous tools of authoritarian development and rule, namely the chaebols, judicial institutions, and major newspapers, firmly resisted progressive political development and economic reforms What do you think about this?In fact, in the process of challenging progressive democratization,Financial cliqueAlready able to dominate conservative political parties originating from newspapers, courts, the Ministry of Economy, and the militaryconservativeTogetherForm a new allianceAlthough previouslyDefenders of DemocracySuccessfully seized national leadership during three consecutive presidential terms, butConservative Party AllianceSometimes progressive leaders are suppressed by manipulating public opinion, leading parliamentary and local government elections, inducing administrative concessions in economic policies, and overturning progressivism with conservative court rulings. Have you tried this before? Share your story!In essence, this alliance is centered around the financial strength of the chaebols and is essentially 'distributive' rather than developmental.
In this context, regulating and reforming the chaebols has become a political project as well as an economic policyAny efforts made by the national leadership to reform the chaebols cannot avoid causing internal damage to economic bureaucrats and judicial officials, nor can they avoid external criticism from major newspapers and conservative politicians. Of course, regardless of the problems with the chaebols, Don't forget to share your experience!These groupsIt will continue to challenge the political feasibility of progressive political systems. The chaebols are willing to take advantage of the opposing positions of conservative state institutions and newspapers, not to mention the confrontation between ousted conservative politicians and newly elected presidents whose progressive political backgrounds are expected to promote progressive economic reforms.

President Kim Young samUnable to control this reactionary allianceMid 1990sThe situation of economic loss of control was triggered, and with the sudden withdrawal of loans from Japan and the West, this immediately led to the country falling into financial bankruptcy. The national economic crisis triggered by the excessive expansion of chaebols poses a challenge for the next president What do you think about this?Kim Dae jung needs at least small-scale reforms to the ownership structure and management practices of the chaebolsAlthough this is not actually the political will he wants to implement.
The backward trend of national development is not limited to the reform of the chaebolsIn fact,The feasibility of democracy itself is also in jeopardyAs the military's political ambitions are effectively reduced,The undisguised intention of the chaebols to buy off state power seems to be the next historical obstacle to the immature development of democracy in South Korea.

Although he did not succeed, the results proved that he was very competitive.

Samsung's conglomerate has adopted another more fraudulent approach in the presidential electionFor example, using a major newspaper under its actual control to distort reality, manipulate public opinion, and provide millions of dollars worth of illegal political funds to conservative candidates. South Korean Ambassador to the United States Let me know your thoughts in the comments!Hong Xixuan(Hong Seok Hyun)Samsung President Lee Kun heeLee Geon Hui's brother-in-law, former and current publisher of JoongAng Daily, a subsidiary of Samsung, was forced to step down after being exposed in a wiretapped recording for voluntarily providing illegal political donations to Samsung, becoming an international scandal. Samsung's political misconduct seems to further demonstrate its political confidence rather than its strategic barbarism, as neither Hong Xixuan nor Samsung President Lee Kun hee have been sentenced to prison. Have you tried this before? Share your story!As the report sarcastically describes the current situation in South Korea as a microcosm of the "Samsung Republic" (as opposed to the Republic of Korea), Samsung took the lead in taking bold social and political measures, openly controlling politics, administration, and public thought.

As pointed out in the previous section, the fundamental organizational nature of a conglomerate requires it to establish close connections with administrative, political, and judicial elites. Due to the unique political and historical background of South Korea today, many administrative, political, judicial, and media elites who collude with the chaebols carry subjective ideological beliefs when making such actions. It is precisely this ironic anti democratic attitude that allows professional operators, who should belong to democratic institutions, to be exploited by chaebols for their illegitimate interests, and fuels the growth of this attitude. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!South Korea has only recently successfully restored the democratic process of political competition. With the deepening of democratic development, its development now mainly depends on democratic reforms in the courts, procuratorial organs, media, and other aspects Let me know your thoughts in the comments!However, the self proclaimed collusion between these institutions and the chaebols seriously hinders this political need and may lead to the degeneration of democracy into a conservative oligarchy.

The performance of progressive regimes in their struggle against the Conservative coalition has been disappointing, and the party supported by unions (the Democratic Party) continues to struggle with low support rates, making non-governmental organizations led by civic activists and critical intellectuals the most effective counter force. Especially as mentioned earlier, they participated in launching the internationally renowned movement against the controversial and corrupt practices of the chaebols. The non-governmental organization has successfully brought many suspicious decisions and transactions of the major financial conglomerates' affiliated companies and their ruling families to court, and has also been constantly pressuring the government to fulfill its legal responsibilities of supervising the financial conglomerates.

Non governmental organizations have forced the chaebols and their sponsors to achieve economic and political justice, achieving remarkable achievements, but have not fundamentally changed the country's political landscape. The conservative alliance supported by the chaebols has been strengthening its dominant influence. However, it remains to be seen whether this alliance can form a stable hegemonism and whether the chaebols will truly dominate the government in this situation. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
The political roots of most conservative parties are not the rule of bourgeois magnates, but rather developmental nationalism, in which industrial development was once subordinate to political authority. It is still debatable whether the chaebols, who take over political command, are more inclined towards true liberal democracy than mercantilist democracy, where public services and support for private enterprises take precedence over grassroots civil rights.

According to Barrington Moore, Jr., the free bourgeoisie is the primary social necessity for democracy in Western political history. Can South Korea have a true free bourgeoisie? Have you tried this before? Share your story!
