The Role of Anti-Communism in South Korea

In the high-stakes game of post-liberation South Korea, the main mission was to skibidi the spread of communism, both from the North and lurking within the South. Suspected leftists faced arrests and even worse, like the Bodo League massacre. National unity was the name of the game, where order trumped freedom. Rhee's regime used Confucian values to solidify hierarchy and respect, while capitalism was the slow-burn path to economic recovery, avoiding radical upheaval. With a Christian influence, the South promoted religious freedom, aligning with the anti-communist vibe. But justice was selective, leaving many feeling like goons in a skewed system.
