He Dictates Everything
Democracy would be nothing if the checks and balances were not working. The weirdry of democracy is in action to the extent that the president of a democratic republic cannot help being a misnomer. He has turned out to be a dictator.
An ominous yet evident sign: He is a literal dictator. He dictates everything. He even dictates enactment of a specific law to the Legislature. (Abrogate the National Security Law.) He infringes on the the separation of three branches of law.
Mechanism of party manipulation: Fear is a major factor and crumbs of the power at the present and the future are a minor. All the forces of the majority ruling party rallying behind Mr. Roh Moo Hyun, almost all the politicos with hodgepodge political backgrounds and diverse ideologies, will be subject to prosecution, if they were not in favor or showed any signs of departure.
Mechanism of popular control: Hatred is a major factor and the subsequent 'conflicts' are a minor. He is singling enemies out with unending continuity and ferocity. In due course, the emotion seeps into every social ladder. He plants bias into hearts of his followers.
