It will be interesting, and maybe revealing, to see what the outcome of the political crisis there is going to be — to see how long a government can impose military rule against the wishes of an elected parliament and widespread popular opposition.
Let’s see in full display the fallacy of the so called capitalist democracy. I have seen in full display how the rulers act under a martial law, the results are repressions, killings and jails. The so called illusion of the will of the peoples can be vanished in a few seconds
Well, in the end “martial law” only existed for a few hours and then only on paper.
The last capitalist government should take note if it considers trying to impose martial law in the event of a socialist victory at the polls. As should those who argue that the last capitalist government will inevitably try. and get away, with this. True, if they did try, it would last for more than a couple of hours but in the end the socialist majority would get its way as no government can maintain itself in power for long in the face of overwhelming popular opposition.
In Peru there was a similar situation on 2022 when president Castillo tried to dissolve the Congress but the military did not support him , they were supporting the right winger Fujimori and the USA.
Before president Castillo Peru had 5 presidents in 7 years and many workers protests
Castillo had the support of the government of Bolivia, and Venezuela, and he wanted to implement the principles of Mariategui ( El Amauta ) which was a ‘Marxist” that wanted to apply Marxism to the peasants struggles and the indigenous peoples. He considered them to be the real proletarians.
The situations was different to South Korea because peasants supported him and they protested against his removal from the presidency and encarcelation
