    South Korea only fascist before the war. Definitely wasn’t a fascist pseudo dictatorship until like what year is it?.. I think they’re still electing people related to the former dictators or in that weird cult shit. South Korea is like that super crazy cousin you have, that you forget about because their quiet and don’t call you very often.

      They were fascist until their President-For-Life type guy was assassinated by a member of the KCIA in 1979. He was definitely supported in some manner by the American CIA but just a couple years later Reagan would put a stop to all that “fighting fascism” business.
