Nobody else gives us this insight into Japanese politics so you guys are doing amazing work, I'd love to see you go through all the Japanese parties then maybe do videos on all the Japanese prime ministers or maybe Japanese elections Post WW2
Japan is in the top 5 countries for science and technological development consistently, especially in robotics. As workers are replace by machines resources will have to be distributed rationally instead of just being used to increase the profits of a wealthy few, there is no way around it.
The thing that destroys communism is this exact idea. Why would I care about class if all my needs are taken care of through UBI? It's more efficient than having worker co-ops and the inevitability of a despot that communism always brings about, at least through its revolutions. Welfare Technocratic Capitalism is the future
@@stinnetbennet You are delusional if you think Capitalism, a system that consumes endless amount of resources on a finite planet is going to live on, and if you think somehow your Utopian idea that space mining is going to solve all your issues, well news flash, its QUITE expensive to mine stuff in space. Soviet Union was actually growing economically faster then the US did in the 80s which is hilarious to me considering how USSR was having a serious efficiency issue because they refused to computerised the planning process in the 60s and were now suffering from it because they had almost more bureaucrats than they had workers in factories. And they were in a constant shortage of workers because of this. What is even more hilarious is that Soviet Union was pushing so heavily for automation in the late 70s they became industrial leaders in robotics because of it, there just never were enough workers in USSR to man every machine so robots had to fill the roles, USSR was MASSIVE 300 million people by the 80s and more cities than Europe and USA combined. USSR was such a huge ass grain producer it produced more grain than Europe and America COMBINED. Now you are telling me that Socialism does not work and USSR was led by dictatorship, well you be right, the dictatorship of the Proletariat. Basically what it means for uneducated people, Proletariat being the workers and peasants they dictate the state and themselves, the nation. And before you try to bring up the breadlines, yes we all know they existed when Mr Gorbachev started introducing MARKET elements into USSR, oh my I wonder why there were breadlines when he PRIVATISED the distribution system in USSR, good work Gorby that makes sense, what makes more sense is when that very private distribution system corrupted itself and started throwing food and goods into forests, Soviet television network did an extensive program on it investigating this, I believe there some footage on TH-cam from it.

Japan Communist Party is the only party that gives me hope for Japan. The corrupt LDP ruined Japan for years as well as their leaders are American puppets. Additionally, JCP is more like the Democratic Party in USA or Christian Democratic Union of Germany.
@John Proctor The JCP has adapted in recent years to be the ones with the most liberal and open brains than those pesky ultranationalists. The JCP realized that Japan should open and adapt to the changing world. Not getting stuck in a Nihonjiron dream like oyajis of LDP persuade the public to believe.
Japanese politics is a bit unique. The ruling party (Liberal Democratic Party) is actually conservative, and the Japanese Communist Party is more progressive. LDP want to keep Japan to the Japanese, meaning if you’re mixed or naturalized, you’re technically excluded from the society. I personally think that JCP is more align with western ideas of Liberalism. Some of their main objectives are: 1. Terminating the Japan-United States military alliance and the dismantling of all American military bases in Japan. 2. Abolish Japan Self-defense Force in a long term. 3. opposes possession of nuclear weapons by any country. 4. Peaceful negotiations over military solutions for disputes resolutions. 5. oppose to the existence of the Imperial House, and establish democratic republic. 6. legalization of same-sex marriage. 7. put Asian diplomacy at the center of Japan foreign relations. 8. advocate that Japan issue further apologies for its actions during World War II and has condemned prime ministerial visits to Yasukuni Shrine 9. condemn North Korea's nuclear-weapons testing.

Hey, thanks for your always appreciated feedback! Sure, we'll take that suggestion on board ! Stay tuned, more videos coming soon (including JapanesePolitics101).
Have you got an email I can contact you? I'm a leftist in South America. I'm curious about politics in Japan and would like to ask you some questions :)
Japan historically like most Asian countries have always been HIGHLY collective in nature and culture, in fact Japan have had multiple uprisings and thinkers who hated the oppression of the peasants, Oda Nobunaga is notable for this, but the Ikko Ikki are also known for standing by the peasants against oppression. Communist thinking actually arrived in Japan quite early already by 1870s. And Socialist thought and idea developed quite rapidly in Japan, in fact in the 30s there was a coup attempt by Japanese Socialist militarists who attempted to overthrow the Far right militarists who took power, the Sakura party as they called themselves failed, however they did in fact have quite a chance of success had they actually taken power the outcome of the Pacific war would been very different, they advocated for defensive expansion and friendly relations with the USSR. While contradictory, Imperialism and Socialism does not exactly go together regardless what CIA paid right wing papers wants you to believe. The Japanese Communist Party has seen tremendous growth over the recent years because the more individualistic culture adaption in Japan is not faring well, suicide rates are climbing, economical instability, relationships are falling apart, there increasing unemployment, all of this has been going on since the 90s right when Japan adopted increasingly Liberal policies. And like every country that have adopted increasingly Liberal economical policies, the same effects are applying except in Japan they are ten times worse because it has always been a collective country unlike the wests which started its Liberalisation already by beginning of 19th century. Remember that early Industrial Capitalism 1650 - 1950 was very heavily unregulated Laissez Fare style free market. It was only after WW2 that State Capitalism really was implemented well apart from the Soviet Union and its command economy already in 1931
@@millabasset1710 You're just an idiot who doesn't understand what the person tried to say. Man said imperalism is bad and that is triggering you? Are you unironically supporting then the political inclinations of pre-WWII Japan?
thanks for the video, was afraid the video would dissolve into red scare crudeness but you guys seemed like rational and intellectually honest talkers.
s H I mean that’s a bit anecdotal. The JCP isn’t really that big, you’ll likely not find a communist union member. They’re probably concentrated in a different area. What have they lied about in their other videos? They seem to do a decent job describing Japanese politics the best they can.
@@nick6426 Maybe for intel purposes. Also, The Japanese Communist Party is into reformism to the point the do not mention nationalization or worker co-ops in their electoral speeches, so they are not a threat to Japanese Capitalism.
@@jstevinik3261 back during The day the Japanese communist party used to Advocate for a transition to socialism. but today they just seek to reform the capitalist system rather then fundamentally change the economic system.
@@nick6426 Indeed, which is disappointing because Japan has economic issues: slow economic growth since the 1980s boom, declining population (which is bad especially for a capitalistic economy that is dependent on expanding consumer bases), and relatively high costs of living, which could garner sympathy for socialism. Even if they are soc dems in policy, they are still 100x the reactionary Abe (I know he is no longer Prime Minister) party that dominates Japanese politics for decades.
My dear baldie, people become communists because they're sick of being blatantly exploited. Not everyone can afford sitting in a beautiful studio wearing a suit doing politology.
@@noticemesenpai69 Except that the state is the people. So you are exploiting yourself. You can control the state with democracy, but there is no controlling the capitalist.
@@secundebate5292 also thats why we have socialism in between to make sure the that the state is controlled by the people and the government helps protect and used plan economics and data to make a communism.
The funding of the JCP has never been thoroughly aired. Never been made fully transparent. Does Akahata with its declining paid subscriptions really pay for everything? With the United Front in Beijing with their annual multi tens of billions budgets funding favored politicians and selected political groups all over the world I see a growing risk, if not now, in the future that the JCP will knowingly or unknowingly see funds coming their way. There are unconfirmed reports that United Front funding is making its way into the hands of certain Okinawa pro independence groups. NZ, Australia, Malaysia and most of ASEAN is dealing with it. The Indian Communist Party sees funds from there. One would need to be extremely naive to think United Front will not be trying to find a way into Japan as well.
Ah the old attempts to paint Okinawa opposition groups as being funded by China. unyoke have alleged that Inaga has a daughter in China. Never stops this attempt to link social protest with China.
No not exactly. I personally do not believe that the anti base opposition is anything but righteous indignation at what the Okinawan people are being subject to. Risks of continued accidents, violence, pollution, etc. I am not suggesting otherwise. HOWEVER, when you have Global Times and the related CCP Academic Research Institutes in China issuing public statements that the Ryukyus are really Chinese "inherent territory" - and I have personally read those articles several different times sitting in an airport lounge in China so can attest they are real - then one would be entirely naive to think the United Front may not be looking for ways to fund the fledgeling Okinawa Independence movement. And if they can, funnel as discretely as possible funds to any group who want to promote Okinawan grievances to the mainland and Lord knows they have quite a few.
In earlier decades maybe. The problem is that the JCP manifesto is dead clear that it view the Senkakus and the Takeshima/Dokdo islands are Japanese, where's the quid pro quo? Also lets be real Shii and Koike (Akira), aging university radicals never part of any governing body are not promising agents.
I love the hypocrisy of language used to talk about the nationalist party compared to the communist party in these videos, these men are full of positive rhetoric for an ideology that is fundamentally unrealistic and has led to the worst atrocities the world has ever seen. The communist party was correctly put down with help from the American government, I remember reading about the Chinese women who had to decide which child they were going to cook so they could live an extra week under the brutal regime of the Jesuit Communist party. Make no mistake, communist comes from the ideals of Francis of Assisi and is propagated by the Jesuit controlled church. I seriously hope you edit this video to remind people about the atrocities and logical fallacies the communists are guilty of making.
TheJblackmanwork If you actually watched the video you would realize that was they call themselves “communist” the party’s platform is akin to European Social Democracy’s which have created the most stable, educated, prosperous and happy country’s in the world.
@TheJblackmanwork by now you should know that leftist rot will never die. This time is different, we’re heading to 🦄 land in the next few years and govt & technology is too hard to beat this time. The world won’t recover.

@@nick6426 Maybe for intel purposes. Also, The Japanese Communist Party is into reformism to the point the do not mention nationalization or worker co-ops in their electoral speeches, so they are not a threat to Japanese Capitalism.
@@jstevinik3261 back during The day the Japanese communist party used to Advocate for a transition to socialism. but today they just seek to reform the capitalist system rather then fundamentally change the economic system.
@@nick6426 Indeed, which is disappointing because Japan has economic issues: slow economic growth since the 1980s boom, declining population (which is bad especially for a capitalistic economy that is dependent on expanding consumer bases), and relatively high costs of living, which could garner sympathy for socialism.
Even if they are soc dems in policy, they are still 100x the reactionary Abe (I know he is no longer Prime Minister) party that dominates Japanese politics for decades.
My dear baldie, people become communists because they're sick of being blatantly exploited. Not everyone can afford sitting in a beautiful studio wearing a suit doing politology.
So you go from being exploited by capitalist to being exploited by the state
@@noticemesenpai69 Except that the state is the people. So you are exploiting yourself. You can control the state with democracy, but there is no controlling the capitalist.
@@secundebate5292 also thats why we have socialism in between to make sure the that the state is controlled by the people and the government helps protect and used plan economics and data to make a communism.
Seems like not many people are exploited then, since our commie guys haven't been too successful in the elections.
What's the "dishi system" 15:14?
Deshi meaning disciple or apprentice.
It seems US always encourages many activities or political activities in other countries that they'd never do in US itself.

The funding of the JCP has never been thoroughly aired. Never been made fully transparent. Does Akahata with its declining paid subscriptions really pay for everything?
With the United Front in Beijing with their annual multi tens of billions budgets funding favored politicians and selected political groups all over the world I see a growing risk, if not now, in the future that the JCP will knowingly or unknowingly see funds coming their way. There are unconfirmed reports that United Front funding is making its way into the hands of certain Okinawa pro independence groups. NZ, Australia, Malaysia and most of ASEAN is dealing with it. The Indian Communist Party sees funds from there. One would need to be extremely naive to think United Front will not be trying to find a way into Japan as well.
Ah the old attempts to paint Okinawa opposition groups as being funded by China. unyoke have alleged that Inaga has a daughter in China. Never stops this attempt to link social protest with China.
No not exactly. I personally do not believe that the anti base opposition is anything but righteous indignation at what the Okinawan people are being subject to. Risks of continued accidents, violence, pollution, etc. I am not suggesting otherwise. HOWEVER, when you have Global Times and the related CCP Academic Research Institutes in China issuing public statements that the Ryukyus are really Chinese "inherent territory" - and I have personally read those articles several different times sitting in an airport lounge in China so can attest they are real - then one would be entirely naive to think the United Front may not be looking for ways to fund the fledgeling Okinawa Independence movement. And if they can, funnel as discretely as possible funds to any group who want to promote Okinawan grievances to the mainland and Lord knows they have quite a few.
In earlier decades maybe. The problem is that the JCP manifesto is dead clear that it view the Senkakus and the Takeshima/Dokdo islands are Japanese, where's the quid pro quo? Also lets be real Shii and Koike (Akira), aging university radicals never part of any governing body are not promising agents.
Otoya Yamaguchi did nothing wrong
Yamaguchi saved his country from becoming a cesspool like North Korea.
@cool communists arent people

I love the hypocrisy of language used to talk about the nationalist party compared to the communist party in these videos, these men are full of positive rhetoric for an ideology that is fundamentally unrealistic and has led to the worst atrocities the world has ever seen. The communist party was correctly put down with help from the American government, I remember reading about the Chinese women who had to decide which child they were going to cook so they could live an extra week under the brutal regime of the Jesuit Communist party. Make no mistake, communist comes from the ideals of Francis of Assisi and is propagated by the Jesuit controlled church.
I seriously hope you edit this video to remind people about the atrocities and logical fallacies the communists are guilty of making.
TheJblackmanwork If you actually watched the video you would realize that was they call themselves “communist” the party’s platform is akin to European Social Democracy’s which have created the most stable, educated, prosperous and happy country’s in the world.
I seriously hope you edit this comment to remind people you're a loon
@TheJblackmanwork by now you should know that leftist rot will never die. This time is different, we’re heading to 🦄 land in the next few years and govt & technology is too hard to beat this time.
The world won’t recover.
Oh sit down you little-brained conservative.
"I remember reading about the chinese women who had to decide which child they were going to cook to eat"
And you are gullible enough to actually believe that?
