  The appointed cannot appoint. Cho Hee-dae (조희대), you.

  Do not say words that the other side can easily retort. Lee Jae-myung (이재명), you.

  Lee Jae-myung's problem is that he does not know that democracy is a power struggle between factions. Lee Jae-myung thinks the essence of politics is the difference of ideology, and believes he can persuade people with his popularity and thus change their ideology. Because his own ideology is unclear, he thinks others' ideology is also unclear. But he is wrong.

  The difference between parties is not ideology, but power. Power is the essence, and ideology is only a means to form the core of the power. Because of the human instinct for gathering, we try not to break the group, and so ideology arises. Even if the ideology is different, like the DJP alliance or Roh Moo-hyun’s troop dispatch, they coexist, but if you break the group, even Caesar is killed.

  If you do not touch the power, the Senate does not care what Caesar does. One must remain open to ideology, but anyone who challenges the power must be struck down. In terms of ideology, Korea and Japan are both capitalist countries, but in terms of power, Korea and Japan are separated like oil and water—this is the essence of politics.

  Power is made up of various factors such as religion, language, culture, region, class, etc., and ideology is only an adhesive to make the group stick together well. Ideology is just a tool. If the ideologies differ, one can form alliances. To say to change ideology is, in fact, to attempt to dismantle the power. When trying to dismantle the ideology, it touches the power, and that is why one dies.

  1. The essence of politics is the struggle for leadership between factions.

  2. Power is made up of various elements such as religion, language, culture, region, class, etc.

  3. Power is the essence, and ideology is a secondary means to help consolidate the group.

  4. If you respect power, you can ally even with different ideologies.

  5. Lee Jae-myung tries to persuade people with personal popularity to change their ideology.

  6. He speaks of ideology but touches power, thus provoking the vital point of the people.

  7. Because his own ideology is vague, he mistakenly thinks he can change others’ ideology.

  8. Since power is the essence, only the alignment changes; the ideology itself does not change.

  9. Power is the instinct for human grouping; therefore, those who challenge power die.
