If only this succeeded Fascist-Nationalist Japan’s crimes against humanity during WW2 could have been avoided.
How do you figure this would have stopped his child or grandchild or Japan’s military or other institutions from perpetuating fascism?
Korea was already under Japanese colonial occupation. Its formal annexation in August 1910 would have to have been consented to by the Taishou emperor instead, but I doubt that would have stopped it. And the Taishou emperor would have died around the same time leaving the Shouwa Emperor (Hirohito)'s reign the same. It was under Shouwa that Japan invaded Manchuria and later the rest of east Asia.
Don’t get me wrong, assassinating one emperor is partway to assassinating the entire imperial male line which would significantly change Japanese attitudes because of the religious implications, so it was worth trying. But this one thing would not have prevented it AFAIK.
I’m noticing a nonstop stream of /[citation needed]. The only working link in the citations is a link to a 2009 archived blog(?) of some sort on WayBackMachine, and it claims that the courts specifically labelled the defendant in the trial as an antimonarchist socialist, does anybody have a link to a court document? (even though such a document is only the words of fascist tyrants)
Is there any evidence they held the so called “leftist beliefs” you claim? Or actually existed at all?
EDIT: There is some reference to him in Elision’s book from 1967 LINK HERE but I’m not finding any materials from before the rise of the soviet union, particularly the time period the claims are about.
Uhhh yes? What a weirdly judgemental and highly sceptical way to approach this topic.
Famous Japanese Anarchists such as Kōtoku Shūsui were among the executed.
If you would like more scholary works, you can attempt to track down a copy of Japan and the High Treason Incident By Masako Gavin, Ben Middleton
It’s just so common to see Tankies rewriting history and co-opting movements that I’m inherently distrustful of such claims. What’s your opinion on NATO?
Well we’re Anarchists over on quokk.au.
I’m against NATO and any other state military organisation. But what I assume you’re getting at is if I support Ukraine against Russian imperialism, which I do.
Lol, okay pal.
EDIT: For the unaware this is clearly just a Tankie. NATO is a mutual defence pact that the biggest dictatorships, China and Russia (and Trump), vehemently oppose which is clear indication its a good thing and works.
