Talk:Democratic Republican Party (South Korea)

"Fascistic" descriptor
To pre-empt complaints: I realise that this descriptor is probably controversial, but the intention is not to use it in a negative, evaluative sense&mdash;it is just to help conceptualise the state-corporatist aspect of the party (particularly towards the end of its existence). It is also worth noting (see e.g. the book "Korea's Development under Park Chung Hee") that Park himself was indebted ideologically, to some extent, to the kind of ideology represented by the February 26 Incident. As the reference in the article implies, comparisons are drawn with fascism, though of course the DRP itself was not "fascist". The use of "fascistic" is just to indicate the analogy. --Tyrannus Mundi (talk) 05:39, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
