Ilminism
Ilminism (;), frequently translated as the One-People Principle or Unidemism, was the 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 nationalism and ethnic supremacy. In general, Ilminists often refers to pro-Syngman Rhee (groups). The concept of the One-People Principle was developed primarily by Minister of Education Ahn Ho-sang, who studied philosophy at the  University of Jena in Germany during the late 1920s. Ideology. The One-People Principle has been likened to the German ideology of the "Herrenvolk" (master race), constituting an effort to build a loyal and obedient citizenry through ethnic homogeneity and brazen appeals to nationalism. Ilminism basically sees "Danilminjok Gukga" () as an ideal country. The idea for a Korean adaptation of this Germanic idea emerged from the works of philosopher Ahn Ho-sang, the Minister of Education under Syngman Rhee, who studied at the University of Jena in Germany during the late 1920s. The ideology also emphasized an importance on Confucianism  and Confucian principles. The "Ilminist" Principle became the central ideology of Rhee's National Association and its successor, the Liberal Party, established in 1951. The One-People Principle was based around a four-point political program, including elimination of formal discrimination between the nobility and the masses, the economic equalization of rich and poor through land reform, social and political equality of the sexes, and an end to discrimination between North and South or the urban capital and the rural provinces. An end to partisan politics was posited, in favor of a united people behind a de facto one-party  state. The egalitarian theoretical underpinnings of the One-People Principle, heralding a classless society of gender equality under firm central leadership, proved to be utopian, with Rhee emerging in practice as head of a fascist dynasty on the Japanese model, remade with Rhee in the role of an emperor. "Ilminism" was effective in creating a strong anti-communist nationalism to stand in juxtaposition to the effective appeals to nationalism made through the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland, headed by Kim Il Sung and the communist Workers' Party of Korea.
