"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

In many way DPP is far more corrupt than KMT can dream to be. The DPP routinely dismisses every budget-related issues or corruption accusation as an unfounded smear orchestrated by paid communist actors, and regularly use nazi like tactic to rally crowd to storm legislative building to suspend hearing against DPP corruptions.

And DPP supporter leadership have directly evoked nazi movement as inspiration for rallying DPP supporters to vote for the recall ballet to evict KMT and TPP held seats. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6170830 Minnan Wolf (閩南狼), a Taiwanese influencer and former ally of Chiung, announced on Sunday that he was cutting ties with him, per Newtalk. Wolf accused Chiung of studying Nazi ideology in depth and attempting to apply it during a political recall campaign.
Wolf alleged that Chiung shared images of Nazi eagles and military insignia with him as reference materials. He claimed Chiung talked about creating an organization similar to the Sturmabteilung, the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party, and discussed launching a “revolution” if the recall effort advanced to an election phase.
This is a first good informative reply here. Thank you. I don't like either that DPP is corrupt too, and have its own issues need to deal with. From knowing some people from within, DPP is more tranparent and open to bring corruption topic out, but surely afraid to harm its own reputation. And I have to admit, I don't like that activist and I am not following him. But it is just one out of thousands more. It is not realistic to accuse others of the same. I personally faced Taiwanese openly wearing Nazi SS and russian military symbols taking their inspiration and claiming KMT did right all along in the past.
Below is an example, but not a person I personally fsced https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2025/04/16/2003835294
It us interestingly, we are discussing here 2 key forces: One (DPP) is for democracy and equal right. Another (KMT and TPP) is funded by china to subdue a separate country Taiwan to china, and one of which have fascist enclanations (KMT). https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6303943
DPP is a shadowy, self‑serving election machine, siphoning public money to reward DPP favored civilian networks while keeping the public in the dark about how it operates. DPP have ramped up environmental pollution and corrupt practices ever since it took power.
DPP is text book Trump MAGA movement that mimic its constant lie and fake news propaganda to prevent government oversight. And it is ironclad in its defense and obedience to USA, and DPP constant demonstrate their loyalty to western empire by swearing complete open support for Israel https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/why-taiwan-stands-with-israel/ Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, and the incoming president, Lai Ching-te, were among the first world leaders to condemn the terrorist attack and express their support for Israel. At Wu’s request, Taiwan’s tallest skyscraper, Taipei 101, was lit in the colors of Israel’s flag on October 12, 2023. After the April 13 attack, Taiwan was quick to condemn Iran. On April 15, Tsai met with a delegation of Knesset members led by Boaz Toporovsky, the head of the Israel-Taiwan interparliamentary friendship group. During the meeting, Tsai conveyed heartfelt condolences and solidarity to the delegation. “During these horrible times, Israel saw and will always remember Taiwan’s support,” said Toporovsky.
While KMT is similar to democrat status quo do nothing party that refuses clear statement on any international issues, instead filled with kamala harris style political ambiguous nothing statement that pretend they have a foreign policy separate from USA interest.
That is why under DPP there is an explosion of weird defense budget spending issues. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2025/12/16/2003848972 The Ministry of National Defense (MND) has allegedly awarded a security procurement deal to a tea company that has registered capital of only NT$100,000 (US$3,187), Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Wang Hung-wei (王鴻薇) told a news conference yesterday. The tender, which was released by the ministry’s Navy Command Headquarters in 2022, and involved sensitive information related to cybersecurity and national security, was awarded to Kaohsiung-based Hong Zhang Tea, Wang said.
Or how military explosive is handled by DPP affiliated civilian furniture companies. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2025/12/12/2003848758 Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Wang Hung-wei (王鴻薇) said that Tainan-based Home-Max Furniture Trading on Tuesday last week won a tender to import a batch of RDX for less than NT$590 million (US$18.8 million). Wang questioned whether a relatively small furniture trading company should have been eligible to bid for a contract involving explosive materials, let alone secure it.
And DPP have turn a blind eye unchecked land clearing and illegal waste dumping all over the island https://amchamkhh.com/2025/09/kaohsiungs-illegal-gravel-pits-create-the-grand-canyon-of-meinong/ Locals now sarcastically call the massive craters, some as deep as a six-story building, the “Grand Canyon of Meinong.” The pits were left after farmland and state-owned land were illegally excavated for gravel and then backfilled with construction waste. At least four remain, now filled with stagnant, foul-smelling rainwater. After reports of illegal mining and dumping, the Qiaotou District Prosecutors Office, working with Kaohsiung police, opened a probe in late August, according to the Liberty Times. Investigators uncovered six hectares of excavation, some plunging 20 meters deep. Authorities estimate 1.3 million cubic meters of gravel were stolen, generating illicit profits of about NT$300 million (US$9.8 million). Fifteen excavators tied to the operation were seized, and prosecutors sought the detention of 13 suspects, with courts approving custody for two. The excavation is believed to have stripped away soil and gravel equal in volume to 542 Olympic swimming pools, UDN reported.
And that is not including the large scale forest clearing that cause landslide under DPP to install solar panel on land affliated with DPP party for massive government contract payout.
