The basis of the Japan-U.S. security treaty
is contradiction by the rule
of a large monopolistic capital.

Let's counterattack to the imperialism alliance
of the Japan-U.S. monopolistic capital.

It is not able to fight against it
by the national principle and the citizens principles.


"Redefine of the security treaty agreement" talked with Clinton among Hashimoto expand "application" range meaning of the Japan-U.S. security treaty agreement from "Japan emergency" to "Far Eastern emergency" even into "World emergency" furthermore. That is, it is a substantial security treaty revision without the revision of the text. Moreover, the government of the monopolistic capital forced this important policy conversion though there were neither any discussion in the Diet nor an examination. They accomplished the reinforcement of the Japan-U.S. alliance in "Without descending of where" for the world hegemony maintenance, making the criticism and the struggle of the worker class of Japan fall asleep on the restoration of Futennma base to "Food". This reality exposes the open more and more appearance of a Japanese monopolistic capital in one side as the imperialism bourgeoisie, and on the other hand, this reality teaches that the United States tries "effective" thoroughly to use "Material power" of a Japanese monopolistic capital and energy for the world rule of an international monopolistic capital, the imperialism world "Order". The problem is not in "Reinforcement of subordination toward America" etc. at all and is contradiction of the rule of the monopolistic capital and a further deepen of making the monopolistic capital of imperialism. Therefore, it is not possible to fight never by the national principle like the Japan communist party. Our slogan, let's fight decisively as the class struggle to unite the security treaty agreement opposite with worker's class standpoint, against national principle, is definitely important and indicates the only direction of worker's fight.

Suffering of imperialism leader?

The United States slogan is maintenance of 100,000 persons' systems in Asia and the Pacific Ocean region. However, this comes once only as a big load more and more for the United States of "Setting sun" imperialism for the request of a huge cost.

However, there is no intention which the United States throw out at all, because it persists in the position as the "ultra" imperialism nation reciting supremacy to the world.

The other side, Japan has been becoming with a definite interest in imperialism "Order" in the world as a nation of the monopolistic capital which becomes overripe. The contradiction of Japan as the nation of this monopolistic capital inevitably assumes the Japan-U.S. security treaty agreement (That is, ally Japan-U.S.) indispensability.

There is a sea area and an airspace in the world where a Japanese monopolistic capital does "Business" in overwhelming hegemony of the fleet and the air force in the United States. By this hegemony's existing, the Japanese monopolistic capital uneasy can do "Business" and earn by exporting the capital all over the world.

If Japan is neither the United States nor an ally and it is not possible to pass at ease in the sea area which the fleet in the United States rules, "Business" of a Japanese monopolistic capital becomes unstable and terrible at once, as a result, a Japanese monopolistic capital will be not able to be survived. This is a reason why the Japan-U.S. security treaty agreement, that is, Japan-U.S. alliance brings the importance of life and death for a Japanese monopolistic capital.

As a "Setting sun" imperialism nation -- the best debt nation in world huge, debt nation! -- it is reinforcement of the Japan-U.S. alliance and "Redefine" of the security treaty agreement at this time that each speculation of the United States which needs support by economic power of Japan and the Japan which makes Japan-U.S. alliance indispensable, was corresponding.

It is the rule and the contradiction of a Japanese monopolistic capital in this base, it is a reason that the fight opposed the Japan-U.S. security treaty agreement is a class struggle (not a national struggle "to oppose the rule of the United States") that exactly opposes the rule of the monopolistic capital and a necessity to tie to that struggle.

Japan-U.S. "Alliance" relation of changing

"Redefine" of the security treaty agreement is taught for the alliance relation between Japan and the United States to develop further and to approach the imperialism alliance more and more.

The Japan-U.S. security treaty agreement that "Defense of Japan" is a principal object up to now is the one for "Stability" and "Peace" in the world in addition to Asia and the Pacific Ocean, and Japan cooperates closely for that with American imperialism. It is exactly that the Japan goes up an imperialism nation and behaves as a full-fledged imperialism nation in politics of the world and in the relation between nations, too.

The Japan communist party has patronized the word "Subordinate ally". However, it is evident that the nation which connects the relation at all is "independent" both nation of "Alliance", even though "Subordinate" even in case of not being. Why can that coexists and harmonize, providing "Subordination nation" which needs independence with calling "Ally"? Regulations of a Japanese nation of the Japan communist party are confused in incoherent. It is amazed "Scientific".

Might it be plain as the nation which connects the imperialism alliance is an imperialism both nation? If you evaluate the relation of a new Japan-U.S. security treaty agreement that "Redefine" is done as the imperialism alliance, not only the United States but also Japan will not say that it is an imperialism nation and either any be not consistent and "scientific".

Neither regulations "Subordinate ally" nor regulation that Japan is a half subordination nation, and lost national main character and subjectivity, and need the national independence therefor, coexists. The reality is exposing the strategy of the Japan communist party more and more absurdity and nonsense.

This party insists, Japan is "Subordination country of the United States" after the war for tens of years, advertises the national principle, and has asked to the national struggle. What the crime role in the class struggle that insistence has played is definitely confirmed even now.

The constitution is the same as no existence.

The constitution is despised more and more and the same as no existence because of "Redefine" of the security treaty agreement.

Actually, if the security treaty agreement changes in quality to "Offense and defense alliance" -- Imperialism alliance relation -- of Japan-U.S., If it changes in quality to the one for "Order" and "Stability" -- of course, for monopolistic capital -- in Asia and the Pacific Ocean, and in the world, not only the one for "Defense of Japan", this is too clear of violating the constitution by which the group right of self-protection is denied (the Liberal-Democratic Party government has insisted).

"Three principles for arms exportation" was denied in fact, too, by the agreement of the article labor mutual offer, and military power of Japan came to be able to develop "global". "Peaceful constitution" system in postwar days is collapsing.

Now, the constitution became trivial for the monopolistic capital. They are disregarding it in fact, when you only have to interpret it selfishly, these kind of things only to the remark bowl. "Peaceful" principle which has been made taboo up to now is negative one after another and trampled down. Security treaty "Redefine" exactly contains a fundamental conversion of "Principle" of Japan of postwar days. Of course, this is the one that the development of the monopolistic capital brought it inevitably, and it is the one to expose the contradiction of the rule of the monopolistic capital and the deepen of the imperialism.

The base restoration struggle failed, too.

The bourgeoisie tries to carry out this large conversion on the restoration of Futennma base to "Food". "Restoration of the base" which the petty bourgeois power had demanded was taken in "Inverted hand" and was used so that they might reinforce the imperialism alliance. The demand of petty bourgeois "Restore the base, apart from the security treaty agreement." went bankrupt completely.

Actually, Futennma base was restored. However, only when the imperialism alliance of Japan-U.S. was reinforced, it was done. The function of Futennma base is only moved to Kadena and Iwakuni. The problem of Futennma base was solved, in the victim in other regions of Okinawa when it is moved to Kadena, in the victim of the mainland when it is moved to Iwakuni. Are these kind of things "Solution of the base problem", the demand of the petty bourgeois?

Governor Oota who has said that "I value inhabitants of the prefecture's voice in above all" making the continuance of the security treaty agreement assumption, failed perfectly, too. Because, it cannot help be this time neglecting as for "Inhabitants of the prefecture's voice" of Kadena, even if he could respect "Inhabitants of the prefecture's voice" of Futennma, and any more he was not able to value the entire people' "Voice" (for instance, Iwakuni-citizen) and disclosed the contradicted standpoint.

He was able to have the voice only of not a voice nothing but all Okinawa inhabitants of the prefectures but Futenma and have done only "Value it". And now, if he makes an excuse "it is possible to do all at a time", we only duck "What does he want to say now?" and the neck. "Inhabitants of the prefecture principle" exposed the reactionary as well as the national principle. It was clarified that only worker's class standpoint was correct, and a only progressive standpoint.

After all, were neither the petty bourgeois demand nor the standpoint "Inhabitants of the prefecture's standpoint" or "Restoration of the base"(Return land!) only decently used by the monopolistic capital and the government? The Hashimoto regime was able to accomplish the reinforcement of the imperialism alliance splendidly, by "Making use of" the demand of the petty bourgeois. Having won was the bourgeoisie and not a petty bourgeois. It might be an inevitable result of the struggle of which the petty bourgeois goes out to the surface.

Even the consistent class standpoint is necessary!

 We hoisted the slogan "Unite the security treaty agreement opposite with worker's class standpoint", and it is a only correct standpoint and a road of the struggle of workers class.

Appearing to "Redefine" of the security treaty agreement is reinforcement of the alliance of the imperialism of Japan-U.S. and it is an ambition of a Japanese monopolistic capital. We should thoroughly expose the most fundamental contradiction of a Japanese monopolistic capital and it is necessary to clarify fundamental contradiction in the basis of the Japan-U.S. security treaty agreement, that is, imperialism alliance. It is not "Japan is subordinate to the United States.", it is necessary to talk causing it inevitably by the rule of the monopolistic capital frankly.

The Japan Communist Party conceal this contradiction and is hiding of the basis of imperialism under a cover by the national principle chat, and obstruct awaking of the class consideration of the worker, and is doing the maximum service to the bourgeoisie which grows up imperialism, by substituting the class consideration even for national consideration and antiforeign consideration. It should be said that the betrayal of this party does not have the limit.

If the reinforcement of the Japan-U.S. alliance is the contradiction of the rule of the monopolistic capital and cause from that, the explosion of this contradiction and clashing with the worker class and the development of the class struggle of the worker is not avoided.

The reinforcement of the Japan-U.S. alliance is development of the contradiction at the same time. More and more economical mutual agreement of Japan and the United States difficulties expose the part. You of worker in all over the world, hoist the class slogan high even now!
