Kleptocracy

Kleptocracy, literally meaning Rule of Thieves and in the context of Polcompball also known as Anocracy is an authoritarian, culturally  variable and economically  variable ideology used to describe a form of government in which power is held primarily by criminals, corrupt officials, self-interested post-party oligarchs and such. Kleptocracy is often found in countries that collapsed after being  Marxist–Leninist One-Party States and transitioned rather unsuccessfully, an infamous case is  Russia.

Liberal democracies can also suffer from this, they can develop shadowy kleptocracies that influence the government through legitimate means such as lobbying, or illegal means such as bribery to gain the favor of government officials. This phenomenon is called corruption.

Foundations
The mechanisms of the state government are devoted almost entirely to taxing the resources and the population of the country, by means of taxes, diversion of funds, etc. The leaders of the system enlarge great personal fortunes, especially the highest position of head of state (like the president or prime minister), along with those closest to them such as ministers, governors, mayors and personal advisers. The money is laundered or diverted to secret bank accounts, usually in tax havens, as a cover for embezzlement or theft.

The economies of kleptocratic regimes tend to decline constantly, as the systematic corruption engendered by the government means that the economy is subordinate to the interests of the kleptocrats.

Historically, the socio-political environment associated with the colonial system - the domination of colonized countries, where their economies are very vulnerable as they depend on a small number of raw materials - has been particularly prone to the creation of the last kleptocracies: Africa, Latin America and also Post-Soviet states are the most prone regions.

The stealthy nature of corruption makes it difficult to combat, as there is often very little information about the identity of the corrupt.

In Russia, kleptocracy has been a foundational belief of 2 post Soviet leaders: Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin.

Yeltsinism advocated rapid privatization to create oligarchies, while maintaining a sham democracy as a means of appeasing Western countries (but disputes remained over support of Milosevic) to generate more income from multilateral relation.

Putinism supports oligarchies that were created by Yeltsin in advance and the aftermentioned sham democracy, while also being significantly more hostile to the West. It also advocates for spreading kleptocracy by war, as seen in his invasions of Georgia and Ukraine.

[[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]] Ukraine
In Ukraine, Kleptocracy is associated with the rule of two presidents: Leonid Kuchma (1994-2004) and  Viktor Yanukovych (2010-2014).

Kuchmism is a term used to describe the period of rule of President Leonid Kuchma, who was the President of Ukraine from 1994 to 2004. Kuchism was a result of old Soviet-era officials and regional criminal elites merging together and is one of many post-Soviet regimes. The term was coined by the organization "Pora! (black)" (It's time!) in the late March, 2004.

Some of its main features include:
 * Concentration of power in the hands of a single financial-multiparty corporation.
 * Union of legislative, executive and judicial power as an integral mechanism of control over society and guaranteeing the permanence of the regime with the help of "power structures" not controlled by the public.
 * High levels of corruption and the power of various [[File:Oligarchy.png]] oligarchic clans, but mainly from Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro) and Donetsk.

Pavlo Lazarenko, an infamous prime minister (1996-1997) during Kuchma's administration was charged with money laundering and extortion.

During the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych (2010-2014), some forms of Kuchmism can be seen again, however this time Donetsk elites had more power. Following the Revolution of Dignity (or Euromaidan), on February 21, 2014, he fled the country.

The absolute majority of corrupt politicians in the country have extremely close ties with Russia. High levels of corruption are still visible to this day.

Party of Regions and the parties that formed shortly after its disbandment in 2014, like Opposition Bloc,   Opposition Platform - For Life, Our Land, Revival, and Nashi all classified themselves as  social liberal but were almost always authoritarian, kleptocratic, russophilic and oligarchical in nature. All of these parties were banned after the 2022 invasion, with Platform for Life and Peace surviving as a crippled remnant. However, it lost popular support, and many of its key members had fled Ukraine or were arrested, including former OPFL leader Medvechuk.

"Main Articles: Tridemism and  National Liberalism" Chen helped found the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in 1986 and was elected a member of the Legislative Yuan in 1989, and Mayor of Taipei in 1994. Chen won the 2000 presidential election and pledged "Four Noes and One Without" during his inauguration, which meant that he wouldn't declare Taiwan Independence as long as the  People's Republic of China didn't intend to use military force against the island.
 * [[File:Chen_Shui-bian.png]] Chen Shui-bian-Chen Shui-bian is the former General Secretary of the [[File:DPP-Taiwan.png]] Democratic Progressive Party and served as President of the [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] Republic of China (Taiwan) from 2000 to 2008. Chen became involved in politics in 1980 during the martial law period of the Kuomintang, then led by [[File:Authdem.png]] Chiang Ching-kuo when he defended the participants of the Kaohsiung Incident in a military court. Even though his client, [[File:Thar.png]] pro-democracy dissident Huang Hsin-Chieh, was found guilty and sentenced to 14 years in prison, Chen became inspired to join the Tangwai movement to push for democracy and end Kuomintang's one-party rule over Taiwan.

Chen Shui-bian wasn't a very popular president due to alleged corruption within his administration and the inability to pass legislation against the opposition KMT, who controlled the Legislative Yuan. In 2004, he won reelection by a narrow margin after surviving a shooting while campaigning the day before the election. Chen's opponents accused him of staging said incident for political purposes.

On November 3, 2006, Chen's wife Wu Shu-Chen, and three other high-ranking officials of the Presidential Office were indicted for corruption of NT$14.8 million (US$450,000) of government funds using faked documents. However, Chen was not indicted, as the constitution of the Republic of China protects the sitting president from prosecution.

After his 2nd term ended in 2008, Chen and his wife were convicted on bribery charges and sentenced to 19 years in Taipei Prison. Chen was granted medical parole in 2015 and was released from prison.

[[File:Cball-HK-UK.png]][[File:Cball-HongKong.png]] Hong Kong
Kowloon Walled City was a Chinese city enclave from  British Hong Kong. The city appeared as a military character Chinese, but became an enclave after the UK pick up new territories in 1898.

In the city there were crimes, drugs, gambling and prostitution, in which Chinese triads were plentiful, like the 14K and Sun Yee on. In 1960 there were mass buildings, in which developers have built new constructions on top of the old ones, since the city was extremely populated (50,000 people in 1990). Other things in the city was the increase in small manufacture and peaceful companies and the increase of "false" medical and dentists. In 1987, the Hong Kong government stated that he would demolish the city, being concluded in 1994. Currently, the place of the city turned a park with city artifacts preserved.

Independent-Investigative agency
Origin The Independent-Investigative Agency act by tried to weaken the role of the original Investigative Agency (A Public Institution that inspects Corruption crime). It was brought up when Yoon Suk-yeol started investigating the crimes of the current government in 2020.
 * [[File:DemocraticPartyKorea.png]] 더불어민주당(Democratic Party of Korea) and the Independent-Investigative Agency

Supplementary explanation The Independent-Investigative Agency act by has serious problems. The goal of the prosecution reform should be to ensure that the prosecution is no longer the "maid of the regime," but contributes to the human rights of the people through objective and fair investigation. However, there is a high possibility that the Independent Investigative Agency will become a new limb of the president through the president's authority over human resources. It is better not to introduce such an organ. In addition, the Independent Investigative Agency by  is designed to be a slim organization with less than 25 prosecutors and less than 40 investigators. But the range of cases in charge is vast. The prosecution and the police have no jurisdiction, and the agency has no manpower. What kind of organization handles the cases? Furthermore, the role of the agency's authorities should also vary according to the outcome of the adjustment of the prosecution and police investigation. It is also contradictory to push it at the same time.



LH land speculation

 * [[File:DemocraticPartyKorea.png]] 더불어민주당(Democratic Party of Korea) and the LH land speculation

Origin LH land Speculation is an incident where the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) employees collectively speculated real estate in areas related to their business plans, such as the 3rd new town (to concentrate land worth of Democratic Party of Korea government's third New Town plan ). Afterwards, as a result of additional disclosures and investigations, the controversy spread to all-round speculation by related public officials and emerged as a key issue in the political world.

Effects
 * The essence of this case is that it goes beyond simple speculation, and is a typical non-transactional type of corruption in which employees of public institutions use undisclosed inside information to gain unfair advantage. In addition, their speculation can be pointed out as a part of the cause of the exponential rise of Korea's house prices.


 * On the other hand, the government [[File:DemocraticPartyKorea.png]] excluding the Investigative Agency's investigation (of the LH speculation) as much as possible rose suspicion that the government [[File:DemocraticPartyKorea.png]] tries to adjust the police and the Investigation authority to prevent them from investigating their corruption. This could also be connected to the Independent-Investigative Agency act of [[File:DemocraticPartyKorea.png]] (Mentioned above)

When communism fell, the political police apparatus, known as the Securitate, only formally disbanded. All the former higher ups from the organisation took control of the newly-established liberal democratic Romania through election fraud and re-established the nepotism and endemic corruption by using their well-established network of contacts. Most post-communism politicians that saw success were, or are ex-Securitate members, and any attempt to prosecute them ended with failure in suspicious circumstances. Witnesses and judges would disappear or die in freak accidents, evidence would systematically burn in accidental fires, and a campaign of "terrorism" was advertised by the Securitate to intimidate people into giving up, nothing moved on the political scene of Romania without the Securitate knowing and even now, the myth of the "coup d'etat" is still strong after having been ingrained by the Securitate in collective consciousness to appease the masses. While the majority of these retired from politics after having robbed public funds for two decades, the Securitate members live a comfortable life, free of all and any risk of prosecution due to their liquidation of all incriminating evidence.

In Mexico, kleptocracy is followed by Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). PRI was founded by Plutarco Elias Calles in 1929 with the intention of creating a one-party state which lasted from 1929 to 2000. PRI made a brief comeback from 2012 to 2018 under Enrique Pena Neto, but he was not succeeded by another PRI leader, since the electoral system by that point was fairer.

"Main Article: Chavismo"

Bolibourgeoisie or Bolichicos are terms describing the oligarchy created by the Venezuelan government of Hugo Chávez. Corruption among the bolibourgeoisie and Chávez-administration sympathizers involves the theft of billions of dollars with the complicity of public officials, with some becoming rich under the guise of socialism. The Bolibourgeoisie kept growing stronger after the death of Hugo Chávez and holds significant power and influence on the administration of Nicolás Maduro.

Throughout his tenure, Hugo Chávez confiscated thousands of properties and businesses to reduce the influence of foreign companies over the country's economy. Venezuela's economy became increasingly state-controlled and was operated by military officers that had their business and government affairs connected.

The young Lebanese Republic was established in 1920 with French support as part of the Sykes-Picot agreement. The country was rocked by Syrian nationalism and sectarian tensions, in 1923, as part of the Newcombe-Paulet agreement, South Lebanon was transferred to the mandate of Palestine, despite demographic realities in the region. When Lebanon declared its independence in 1943, and achieved it for good in 1946, it was already plagued by corruption, the reasons for these are varied, between an exploitative and inefficient colonial administration forced by the French, a confessionalist ruling model that favoured nepotism and fostered sectarian tensions, and a tradition of political dynasties going back to the Ottoman era, Lebanon didn't manage, despite efforts of nationalists of all confessions, Muslims like Saeb Salam or Christians like Camille Chamoun, to shake off its endemic corruption. The legacy of the Ottoman and French rule still curses the country's transparency to this day, the Lebanese bureaucracy is bloated, and it is home to many archaic laws that destroy any attempt at reform. Since 2019 however, people have started massive country-wide protests in light of a fiscal crisis, which the government of Lebanon caused, and in which the bank accounts of the Lebanese people were robbed. The power of the ruling elite now stands in question, the old dynasties are shaken, and it is unclear if they will manage to hold power for another decade.

Thaksin Shinawatra: Thaksin was accused of "policy corruption", such as infrastructure and liberalisation policies that, while legal "...abuse the public's interest,..." Supannee Chai-amporn and Sirinthip Arun-rue of the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) claimed that policy corruption caused the state to spend 5 to 30 percent more than it otherwise should have spent, costing the state an additional 400 billion baht. Thaksin critics point to more examples of corruption: the Thailand Board of Investment's (BOI) granting tax breaks worth a total of 16.4 billion baht to Shin Satellite for its iPSTAR project in 2003, and the Transport Ministry's decision the same year to abolish the minimum air fare of 3.8 baht per kilometre when Shin Corporation was about to consummate a joint venture with low-cost carrier AirAsia. After the 2006 coup, the military junta-appointed Assets Examination Committee froze Thaksin's assets based on charges of policy corruption.

Phrayut Chan-o-cha: Although Prayut claimed the 2014 coup was needed to combat corruption, some members of his own cabinet and members of the appointed national legislature, including his brother Preecha Chan-o-cha and Minister to the Office of the Prime Minister M.L. Panadda Diskul, have themselves been beset by various corruption scandals. However, the Office of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission concluded that Panadda was not involved in the alleged case. Prayut then prohibited any criticism of his government. In February 2015 he explained, "If people want to do opinion polls, they are free to do so. But if the polls oppose the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), that is not allowed."

RM31.5 billion worth of losses had been incurred by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in its foreign exchange (forex) losses between 1992 and 1994. The Bank Bumiputra scandal was one of Malaysia’s biggest financial scandals before 1MDB. The bank lost $1billion in public funds to an elaborate scheme of corruption, false accounting and sham profits. The main mastermind behind this web of deceit was a civil engineer by the name of George Tan, who had fled Singapore after his first bankruptcy in 1972, and ended up in Hong Kong.
 * [[File:NajibRazak.png]] Najib Razak: 1MDB scandal was a large corruption, bribery and money laundering scandal which began in 2009 in Malaysia but became global in scope and was exposed in 2015. It was as described as "one of the world's greatest financial scandals" and declared by the United States Department of Justice as the "largest kleptocracy case to date" in 2016. In 2015, Malaysia's then-Prime Minister Najib Razak was accused of channelling over RM 2.67 billion (approximately US$700 million) into his personal bank accounts from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a government-run strategic development company masterminded by Low Taek Jho. The court ruling declared that Najib was found guilty for using the said funds for corporate social responsibility (CSR), contray to populr belief.

He was charged with another accusation of misappropriating RM120,000 in BERSATU donation money intended for the 2018 general election. In August 2021, Syed Saddiq had been charged again with two corruption charges of money laundering. According to the charge sheet, the accused transferred RM50,000 from his bank account to his Amanah Saham Bumiputera account on 16 June 2018 and another RM50,000 on 19 June 2018. Saddiq pleaded not guilty to the charges and currently, the case is yet to determine whether he was guilty or otherwise.

Personality
Kleptocracy is immensely shady and will do almost anything to get as much money and power as possible. Unlike the libertarian right ideologies, he openly advocates for an  authoritarian state to preserve his power with minor concessions to the people to keep them satisfied, whether this be appeals to social conservatism or liberal welfare with a lot of red tape. In essence, he is portrayed as offering protection solely if there are huge clauses attached, not unlike a gangster offering protection, hence him being portrayed as a prisoner.
