 In front of the National Diet (Nov.1959)


lenin's "own words"
For raising trotskyism!



No.1488/ Des./ 8 / 2024 
 Populism is also proliferating in local and national politics at the mercy.
--- The background and how the workers should fight!

 In this year's successive municipal elections (and the House of Representatives elections), populist politics that pandered to the masses and buried themselves in short-term profits was rampant. In the gubernatorial election to choose the mayor of the capital city of Tokyo, Ishimaru, the former mayor of Akitakata, received 1658000 votes, second only to Koike. It marked the beginning of the election that followed, in which populism was rampant.
 Hyogo Governor Saito, who relentlessly searched for whistleblowing officials and drove a prefectural employee to suicide due to power harassment, was unanimously confronted with a no-confidence motion in the prefectural assembly and lost his job. Saito ran for governor of the prefecture and was re-elected, overturning initial expectations that re-election would be impossible, and made the same shock as the governor of Tokyo (Saito received 1110000 votes, and Inamura, who was the runner-up, received 976000 votes).
 In the Nagoya mayoral election, Hirosawa, who succeeded Kawamura, co-leader of the Japan Conservative Party, won by a large margin over Otsuka, who was initially reported to have the upper hand (Hirosawa 392000 , Otsuka 261000 votes). What these elections have in common is that they all advocated reform and pushed forward a position against established parties that defend vested interests. Of course, the issues that were fought in Tokyo, Hyogo, and Nagoya were different.

 Considering the "Annual Income Barrier" Problem (Supplement)
--- What does it mean to "eliminate income barriers"?

 In China, high unemployment, low wages, and deteriorating living conditions are progressing
--- In it, Speech is also suppressed by the strengthening of state control.


No.1487/ Nov./ 24 / 2024 
 Trump returns to the highest power in the United States
--- Capitalism in the world deepens cracks with his victory

 In the U.S. presidential election, Trump won by a wide margin, upsetting the media's expectations that it would be a very close race.
 He focused his attacks on the Biden Democratic administration's failure to combat inflation and the deterioration of security caused by a surge of illegal immigration.
 With his hand in return, he urged manufacturing workers and others who felt left behind by the wave of AI and IT to "revive the manufacturing industry" and "bring back the great era." In doing so, he attracted manufacturing workers, the needy, and non-whites who were once Democratic supporters.

 Workers should consider the "annual income barrier" problem
--- Talks between the government and opposition parties over the "annual income barrier" begin.

 Declaration of my determination to join the Workers Party
 --- I was "moved by the theory of state capitalism that is achieved by Marxism."


No.1486/ Nov./ 10 / 2024 
 The emergence of workers' political party is necessary
--- Do not allow the rotation under the LDP political power. The sinking of the Japan Communist Party of Japan.Wriggling Right party

 The general election held on October 27 ended in a victory for the opposition parties, with the LDP and the New Komeito winning 219 seats, falling short of a majority.
 Ishiba's re-election as prime minister is assured with the nomination of the leader to be held on the 11th of this month, but there is no doubt that it is a minority ruling parties’ government and is said to form a "partial coalition" with the National Democratic Party on various policies.
 Workers should stand based on their class position and carry out the struggle for the emancipation of their labor.

 The decline of the Japan Innovation Party(JIP) appeared in the House of Representatives election
--- The JIP began to be abandoned by supporters.

 The theoretical journal "Prometheus" issue 63 has just published.
--- He push the Liberation of Labor beyond the eternity.


No.1485/ Oct./ 27 / 2024 
 Let's overthrow the Ishiba regime that inherits plutocratic corrupt politics!
--- Let the general election be an opportunity for the development of the workers' struggle.

 The 50th House of Representatives election was announced on October 15, and the election campaign has entered the second half until the vote is counted on October 27.
 The Kishida administration was forced to resign because its handling of the backdoor money scandal led to a decisive distrust among the working masses.
 His successor, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Komeito government led by Ishiba, dissolved the House of Representatives on October 9, the eighth day after the Cabinet was formed.
  Ishiba expressed "deep remorse" on the issue of "politics and money," but the issue of backroom money is not an issue that can be resolved with mere verbal reflection.
  How workers will fight this election – that's the question.

 The Japan Conservative Party is fettling behind the established political parties.
--- Kawamura, the mayor of Nagoya city is an irresponsible man who abandoned the council and ran for office.

 The International Workers' Association, which organized workers fighting for communism, is celebrating its 160th anniversary.
--- Deepening the Contradiction of the Monetary and Fiscal Policy and the Capitalism.

 Netanyahu's final goal is a "Palestinian-free Israel" state.


No.1484/ Oct./ 13 / 2024
 In his statement, the new Prime Minister Ishiba has reneged on his promise to "unravel the reality of making bribe money."
--- And he brought to the fore the prolongation of the life of the coalition government of the Liberal Democrats and the New Komeito to the fore.

  The new Ishiba administration was inaugurated, and a policy speech was delivered on the 4th October.
  The new Prime Minister Ishiba expressed that the basic policy of the new government was "humble, sincere, and warm-hearted politics" based on the "understanding and sympathy" of the people.
  However, they all lacked concreteness, and there was no firm intention in them.
  The reactionary nature of the new government of the LD and the NK, which is trying to prolong the life of its own government through deception, has been exposed.

 Under the guise of helping the weak.
--- The new governor Ishiba advocated Ishibanomics. However, its purpose is only the rescue and prosperity of capital.

 There is a new phase in which the contents of textbooks are becoming reactionary.
--- The new textbook certification standards have been revised, and militaristic education is accelerating.

 Not only in the European Parliament elections, but also in Germany, far-right parties with "anti-immigrant" rhetoric are on the rise.
--- They are diverting the attention of the working masses from the problems of capitalism.

Japanese Marxist Hayashi Hiroyoshi introduces the fundamental concepts of Marx's economic theory, particularly the "labor theory of value" presented at the beginning of Capital.

Book Description

Karl Marx's ideas have been declared "dead" on more than one occasion, only to emerge with new relevance a few years later. But the "collapse of communism" seemed to be the final nail in his coffin. The end of history had been reached, we were told, and poor old Karl was wrong. - Or was he?

In Marx's Labor Theory of Value: A Defense, Hayashi Hiroyoshi argues that Marx will continue to be relevant as long as capitalism continues to exist. This is simply because no one grasped the nature of capitalism on a more profound level than Marx did. Hayashi presents the most fundamental aspects of Marxist economic thought, centering on the discussion of the commodity at the beginning of Capital. Also included are detailed examinations of Adam Smith's theory of value and the concepts of ground - rent, credit, and productive labor. Hayashi shows that Marx's labor theory of value is the key not only to understanding capitalism but also for grasping the essential characteristics of socialism. And socialism - as the real solution to the contradictions of capitalism - turns out to have little in common with the recently deceased "communist" states.

Now that history has resumed - after its brief "hiatus" - it's time to return to Marx!
