Fight for civil rights

Shocking South Korea plunged into martial law overnight.How different is that from the coup d etat when Prayut overturned a civilian chosen government and used the military to seize power from the ballot box.How different is it from Myanmar when the junta overthrew a democratically elected government and usurped the power of the people. When the much touted "stability" to the state is a pretext to use the military to silence critics or hide incompetency in governance,the world stands and wait to watch how the drama unfolds. Yes democracy is chaotic for it presumes the right to disagree so the right to voice out is one of the fundamental pillars of democracy.The first victim in a conflict is truth.So if the government is open and transparent,what is there to fear and hide? Would be autocrats that fear people questioning their powers will start by muzzlimg the media,then use force of military to suspend the legislative and judiciary before clamping down on street protesters. So if France opposition passes a vote of no confidence in the governance of its prime minister,its a peaceful way to kick out an underperforming leader rather than declaring a martial law and overturning the rule of law.So France is showing civil rights triumph over political elites.Compared to South Korea,Thailand and Myanmar that show signs of failing democracy.
