Ilminism, also called the One-People Principle is an authoritarian, ethno-nationalist and egalitarian ideology that was the ruling ideology of South Korea under their 1st President, Rhee Syngman and later reformed & adopted by the 3rd President of South Korea, Park Chung-hee. He believes in creating a loyal and obedient citizenry through authoritarian administration, ethnic homogeneity and brazen appeals to nationalism.

History

The term Ilminism is a Korean word meaning "One People Ideology (or principle)". The ideology emerged from the works of Korean philosopher Dr. An Ho-sang, who was the Minister of Education under The Rhee Syngman administration, and prior to his promotion studied at the University of Jena in Germany during the late 1920s. He made a case explaining why even though individual freedoms are important, the interests of the South Korean Nation as a whole should be top priority especially considering the threat of the North Korean aggressors overtaking them at the time. His suspicions proved to be correct, as even in current day the North constantly flaunts their nuclear power to taunt the South.

Main Advocators & Practitioners

Rhee Syngman later developed & adapted the theoretical framework of the One-People Principle and made it much into the contemporary ideology used in his administration until his resignation in 1960, and later was reformed further and used under the Park Chung-hee administration for nearly 2 more decades after the 5.16.1961 Coup d'état. There weren't any further practices of ethnic nationalism in Ilminism after Rhee's rule, instead it took on a more culturally nationalist attitude in it's later development.

Park Chung-hee's reign included many aspects of Ilminist ideology, specifically including his highly controversial Yusin Constitution. It was a highly authoritarian constitution which gave the president (him) executive ability to be judge, jury & executioner for laws, economic practices, political organizing, and many other things. It also created extremely nationalist & traditionalist sentiment in South Korean society, even going as far as cutting men's hair that was too long, and forcing women to wear skirts (if they chose to wear skirts) that were at least 17 centimetres above the knee. This was done in order to reinforce the idea of men being masculine and not being flamboyant as it was seen as weak & promiscuous, and as for females it was to keep their overall appearance traditionalist & reserved. In 1979, Park Chung-hee was assassinated during a dinner party, ending his reign.

It is still heavily debated whether Chun Doo-hwan was truly a practitioner of the One-People Principle, but his staunch refusals to democratize the country & newly amended constitution that was heavily biased in favour of his own conservative political party made it clear that he was yet another authoritarian leader, and wanted to establish himself as a strongman military dictator in the footsteps of Park Chung-hee. However, his reign ended when he resigned in 1987 and a newly democratic constitution was amended, thus ending the last remaining practices of Ilminism to this day.

Beliefs

Main Principles

The One-People Principle was based around a 4-point political program: Eliminating discrimination between the nobility and the masses, the economic equalization of rich and poor through land reform & a corporatist economic model (which was later reformed & developed into a well regulated market economy under Park Chung-hee), political equality between males & females, and an end to discrimination between the Northern & Southern parts within country, including ending discrimination between the urban & rural areas within the country as well.

He believes in an end to overall partisan politics, in favour of a united people behind a de facto one-party state.

Confucianism

Ilminism also believes strongly in Confucianism and it's philosophy & principles, including (but is not limited to) the moral & ethics of loyalty which have elements attributed to the western philosophy of the Great man theory, belief in the traditional family structure (a man, woman & X amount of children), and a deep respect for ceremony, old Korean culture & elders. An important thing to note is that Confucianism in Korea often refers to a specific version called Neo-Confucianism, a more secular & less spiritualized form of Confucianism that stresses a more logical & practical view of traditional Confucian practices, making Neo-Confucianism a philosophy rather than a religion. This would allow for separate religious accommodations such as Dr. An Ho-sang being a Dangunist, and Rhee Syngman being a Christian despite simultaneously being a strong supporter of Confucianism.

The Communist Question

And of course, the One People Principle is vehemently anti-communist, given the indefinite North/ South split of the Korean peninsula since the 1950's (due to ideological conflicts & foreign intervention). In fact under both Rhee Syngman's & Park Chung-hee's respective reigns, many communists had been brutally suppressed and in extreme cases, executed outright.

Goals

The theoretical egalitarian underpinnings of Ilminism would be to herald a class-collaborating society under firm central leadership. In an Ilminist society, the upper and the lower classes would both work together to eventually rid themselves of materialism & class conflict entirely, in favour of a more metaphysically balanced & fulfilled society.

Personality

  • Is very socially conservative, and reminisces about the 70's.
  • Has a burning hatred for most of his neighbouring countries.
  • Hates it when people say: " North Korea is the real Korea".
  • Dislikes K-pop & hates that the younger generation listens to it.
  • Get's very angry and emotional when the colonialization of Korea is brought up.
  • Praises & worships his Dictators (almost as much as North Koreans worship their Dictators).
