[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized, saying, "The propaganda tactics of the PK (Busan·Gyeongnam) pro-Moon Jae-in faction, the real power behind the liberal regime, absurdly resemble those used by the Nazis."

On the 13th, Jin posted on his Facebook, "The Moon Jae-in administration has become very strange in the meantime," and said this. He added, "Using mass violence for governance is one thing, and my long-held theory is that this bizarre combination is related to the characteristics of digital media."

Jin said, "In fact, the reason I started as a commentator was because I published a book ('I Spit on Your Grave', 1997) criticizing the far-right forces who followed Park Chung-hee (former president) for their fascist cognitive structure," and added, "What is bewildering is that the fascist traits of the far-right forces I criticized back then have now, 23 years later, been fully transferred to supporters of the Democratic Party of Korea."

He continued, "Among those who blindly support Cho Kuk (former Minister of Justice) now, there are probably people who read my book back then," saying, "Most politically interested people at the time read that book." He added, "It is surprising to me that people who read that book could behave like that."

Jin also claimed, "Especially the writer Yoo (Citizen), who said he laughed so hard reading my book that he fell off his bed, is now leading that far-right nonsense that was so funny he fell off his bed."

He continued, "The U.S. military leadership who fought Nazi Germany recalled after the war, 'We broke the German resistance not when we destroyed their military power, but when we destroyed their propaganda system,'" emphasizing, "That shows how terrifying the power of brainwashing through propaganda is."

Jin also pointed out, "Even though defeat was already certain, children around ten years old, in fanaticism for the F?hrer, attacked U.S. tanks with Panzerfausts (anti-tank weapons)," and said, "The children who insulted Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl by singing songs with choreography to the tune of children's songs might be the digital version of the Hitler Youth of the 1940s."

He added, "I have little interest in the results of this (April 15) general election," and said, "My goal is to destroy the propaganda machine laid by the PK pro-Moon faction, the real power of the Moon Jae-in administration, in this society, because agitation paralyzes reason."
