No.1491/ jan./ 26 / 2025 
 The world's divisions and disparities are deepening
--- The second Trump administration has started.

 On January 20, the Republican Trump administration replaced the Biden administration of the Democratic Party.
 Under the slogan "Make America Great Again," the Trump administration has adopted an "America First" policy. Its birth is bound to further deepen the divisions and friction within the international community with differing interests, intensify class contradictions, and increase the sacrifices of the working people.

 A review of the Bank of Japan that has fallen into its own defense
--- It justifies monetary policy that works on people's psychology and expectations.

 Is Nippon Steel Corporation’s acquisition of U.S. Steel impossible?

No.1490/ jan./ 12 / 2025 
 The government budget proposal for the fiscal year 2025
--- The budget has expanded, and the country’s debt and military spending are at an all-time high.

 The Ishiba administration approved the budget proposal for the next fiscal year in a cabinet meeting last December.
 The total amount of the general account is 115.5 trillion yen, which is the highest initial budget ever.
 Both the national debt expenditure, which is the repayment of the national debt, and the military expenditure are both record highs.
 Under rising prices, the national finances are getting worse and worse, despite the deterioration of the working masses’ livelihood..

 Japan's GDP per capita falls to 39th place in the word, and capitalism comes to a standstill.

 Honda and Nissan consider business integration.
--- The automotive industry, is on the verge of bankruptcy.

 Let the overthrow of Netanyahu's government be the task of Israeli workers.

No.1489/ Dec./ 22 / 2024
 The National Democratic Party's strategy of teaming up with the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party
--- Dismantling workers' struggles with "increasing take-home pay".

 In the last general election, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Komeito Party won 215 seats, falling 18 seats short of a majority.
 The LDP needs cooperation with the National Democratic Party (NDP), which has surged to 28 seats, to stabilize the government.
 However, they all lacked concreteness, and there was no firm intention in them.
 On the other hand, the NDP is approaching the governments of the LDP and the Komeito Party to realize its pledge to increase take-home pay.

 What are the challenges of the fight against the Yoon regime in South Korea?

No.1488/ Dec./ 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

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."

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!
