<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In Cold War United States and Western Europe, anticommunism
generally served as a component of liberal democracy. In South Korea, however,
from its inception in 1948, anticommunism has functioned as a de facto state
ideology and has come to assume a quasi-religious, supra-constitutional norm.
In the introduction, Kim Dong-Choon argues that the sacralization of
anticommunism has acted as a form of cultural violence, compelling all Koreans
to internally verify and externally profess their anticommunist credentials.<span></span></p>
