Ilminism

Common card · No. 480969

Ilminism (Korean: 일민주의; Hanja: 一民主義; RR: Ilminjuui), frequently translated as the One-People Principle, One-People Doctrine, or Unidemism, was the national-conservative political ideology of South Korea under its first President, Syngman Rhee. The Ilminist principle has been likened by contemporary scholars to the Nazi ideal of the Herrenvolk (master race) and was part of an effort to consolidate a united and obedient citizenry around Rhee's strong central leadership through appeals to ultranationalism and ethnic supremacy. Also, this ideology was also marked by prominent state-nationalist elements influenced by the Empire of Japan’s Kokkashugi. In general, "Ilminists" often refers to pro-Syngman Rhee (groups).
