![]() ![]() Is not their Prime Minister, Fuminaro Konoe, famous for his studies and translations of socialist works? Did he not spend many years attacking European racism and imperialism in Asia and support Pan-Asianism in its stead? Has he not taken actions against the exploitative actions of the Zaibatsus, taking them under his control and strengthening the rights of the workers? This is just one example of the many socialist-influenced members of the Japanese government, but as its head and most prominent member, he is a clear example of the whole system. We can see, however, that unfortunately the fascist menace moved faster and Japan could not counteract them in time- but without their aid, resistance to them would have been far weaker, as is proven by the battle of the Alps. ![]() The mediterrean intervention on Japan’s part was a threat that showed undoubtable intentions of preparing for an all-out war to break the Unity Pakt and free the enslaved masses across Europe and Africa. While the so-called Organization of Free Nations quibbles and remains fearful of German aggression a full ocean away, and even allows German influence to rise in defiance of their colonialist Monroe Doctrine, Japan and their equal allies have fought the fascists in their very home. Indeed, Japan can be clearly seen to be one of the primary vanguards against German aggression. It would be more accurate, instead, to say Japan intervened in a civil war in favour of the Pan-Asianist faction, against the European-supported (by the fascist Germans, in particular) faction. Japan’s actions kept China free from the global powers that seeked to enslave her- certainly, it had some growing pains here and there as some of China resisted, but given the mass strength of the Chinese government, the “Second Sino-Japanese War” was not truly that. India itself, the second most-populated country at current times, is free only due to Japanese action. ![]() Without Japanese “aggression” the British Empire in Asia, the most terrible empire of the nineteenth century, would not have fallen. Their methods may have, at times, been unsavoury: but to look at the results is to see global improval. Japan is in support of global liberation, ultimately.
