Indict the imperialism of the home country!

Idea because 51 years have passed since the atomic bomb was dropped to Hiroshima




The summer of year 51 came after the atomic bomb was dropped to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The human race has not won the nuclear weapon abolition yet, and moreover, even just little advancement of stop of the nuclear test cannot be achieved and is only repeating the shake and the chaos.

This is not chance at all. That reason is not that the misery of the atomic bomb has not been known all over the world yet (therefore, it is necessary to inform of it).

Some large countries in the world including the United States keep having the nuclear weapon, moreover, the large countries are compelling the swiz "No nuclear diffusion agreement" etc. all over the world to continue and to fix the nuclear weapon monopoly. Because is not this reason rule of the capital? A large country all over the world is a bourgeois all nation now. All these nations have the forces, therefore the nuclear weapon too, for "Self-defense" and can do nothing but have it.

India only participates in no the nuclear diffusion agreement and is clarifying the attitude opposed the inclusive nuclear test prohibition agreement in September for the reasons "One to fix the discrimination of a nuclear possession country and a country not so". India says that for instance, China and Pakistan are a nuclear possession nations and an own hand cannot be bound when India is enclosed by such nations and there is dread of "Invasion" by these nations, India does not voluntarily abandon "Nuclear option". It seems that this is "People" mutual agreement to which not only the bourgeoisie in India but also the communist party of the right wing from Indian People's Party is corresponding.

Why can the standpoint of India be denied if "Right of self-defense" -- and, this right is being called the right one now by not only the bourgeois but even also the communist party -- of a bourgeois nation is admitted? If all bourgeois (and, the petty bourgeois and the liberal too) do not admit the validity of the theory of India, beginning and end cannot be consistent.

In this respect, a bourgeois nation in Japan which seems to oppose the nuclear weapon is also similar. They have not only brought up a powerful army for "Self-defense". In fact, Japan has undertaken the favor of the nuclear weapon by entering United States "Umbrella the under". Saying whether they are opposite to the nuclear weapon only is cheating.

Kiyofuku Nakama of the Asahi News paper editorial superintendent, he insists that the human race cannot never achieve the nuclear weapon abolition if we do not make that "The nation must not have the nuclear weapon even in case of the purpose is to defend oneself"(The Asahi News paper August 6).

Such reasons are not only nonsense but also cheating. Furthermore, it is reactionary very much, because armament reinforcement of Japanese monopolistic capital and the meaning is concealed.

Why is it only nuclear weapon? Why is not arms general abolished? It concludes that reason as follows "The nuclear weapon has non-humanity that does not usually become arms and a comparison." in "Insistence" column in same The Asahi News paper of the day. What difference is "Non-humanity" of the same murder's arms? Is it allowed that "Humane" in some measure in case of the rifle that kills man in groups of one? Is it allowed in case of the pistol? (If so, is it necessary to stop criticizing to arms societies in the United States? In this case, It is a laugh that the liberal keeps criticizing the pistol society in the United States.) I can do nothing but say that liberal's opinion is quite random and only contradiction.

Actually, It is contradicted and is an opinion the swiz master that general arms are permitted and the nuclear weapon is not permitted "for self-defense". If "Self-defense" of a bourgeois nation is affirmed, it is necessary to perform it most effectively. Otherwise, "Self-defense" might become an impracticable theory, too. For instance, to the danger of Hitler's "Invasion", moreover, when Hitler arms even teeth in the nuclear weapon, it might be clear even without discussing that a certain nation can usually defend oneself only with arms enough or not. Such nations will be easily infringed by Hitler before fighting.

Still, it is good. It is reluctant. Do they say that it is necessary to choose "peaceful of the slave" submitting under the rule of Hitler?

If so, he should not say "Self-defense" etc. from the beginning. He did not have the problem "Self-defense" from the beginning. He only says that the nuclear weapon is not permitted in case of any, and neither "Self-defense" nor anything is, too. If he seriously institutes the problem of "Self-defense", it is own contradiction and might incoherent that only the nuclear weapon is excluded and is denied from among arms.

The worker class is opposed to "Self-defense" of a bourgeois nation unlike the liberal and demands to have not only the nuclear weapon but also all arms by abolishing the class nation in "Abandonment".

"Abolition of nuclear weapon for self-defense" that the liberal recites, not only denies the military expansion of a Japanese monopolistic capital but also supports it from the side. First of all, did they have to criticize even military power for "Self-defense" of Japanese nation and insist as for its "Abolition"? Was it necessary to criticize the nuclear weapon of China after that? They do not talk about a word about the abolition of the army of a Japanese nation for "Self-defense" though emphasize that they should stop the nuclear weapon for "Self-defense". In fact, this is to assist in a Japanese monopolistic capital and the military expansion of the nation from the back.

Actually, even Prime Minister Hashimoto is abstractly opposing the nuclear weapon. He attended the atomic bomb dropping commemoration meeting of Hiroshima on August 6 and It is spoken that one's best is carried out to the conclusion of the nuclear test prohibition agreement as the only bombed people. A liberal public opinion supports cheating of such Hashimoto from the back in fact. (Is it a back actually only? Is not it from the front?)

Recently, the result of taking the questionnaire of the atomic bomb dropping in several thousand school children and junior high school students of the Hiroshima city was announced. According to it, The child who thinks "It is not possible to permit on humanity", decreased by as many as 15.3% compared with when nine years ago was investigated. On the contrary, child who answered, "Because it is a war, it is reluctant." and "It is necessary to end the war early", so to speak, "Child who allows" is increasing by 6.7%, and the child who answered, "Do not understand" also has increased by 7.5%. The mass communication is reporting also that it is a result thorough of recognition "It wants to be doing of Japan cruel in the war, too".

The modeling humanism discussion that shelves the brutality of Japanese imperialism and the reality of imperialism war, has been made known by the liberal and Socialist Party and the communist party. -- tying to a petty bourgeois and disagreeable race principle "Only bombed country" -- but, now, they are being got over even by school child and junior high school student.

If they say the atomic bomb dropping, first of all, even "Responsibility" of various classes of Japan is asked. If the rule class of Japan does not do that war, or ended the early stage, the discussion that the atomic bomb dropping and the Okinawa war was able to be avoided can consist, too. In this respect, The worker denounces the imperialist, Tenno system ideologist and fascist, reactionary, monopolistic capital, the military, and bureaucrat, etc. in Japan which began this war more than American imperialism by which the atomic bomb is dropped is denounced. They did not only begin fighting. Though the defeat is completely clarified, they make the war thoroughly prolonged and Okinawa war, nationwide air raid by B29, atomic bomb dropping, the Soviet Union was invited to enter the war to keep own rule powers.

These are the avoided one when the rule class of Japan ends the war at the early stage, in addition, it is what was able to be evaded if the worker class of Japan overthrew the rule class. Was not even "End the imperialism war by the revolution. Peace by the revolution!" a slogan of the worker class? (When accurately saying, Lenin called "Change the war of Imperialist person, the rule class to the war of the class which is ruled to the rule class.")

We do not have will the criticism to the way of fool's Masao Maruyama(Politics person in Japan), "The Japan Communist Party failed because they had not obstructed the imperialism war." etc.. However, we thoroughly pursue the "Responsibility" as a bankruptcy of this party for not having assumed that the Japan Communist Party did not win the peace "by overthrowing the rule class" and they did not even try to win it, and can do nothing but make that so.

Before, the worker people general publics in Russia won peace by the revolution in 1917.(Of course, what they had won was not only peace and moreover, peace was not the maximum acquisition thing for them either.) Moreover, the worker class of Germany was also similar(1918). There was not a tragedy of the atomic bomb --with a lot of other tragedies -- if Japanese workers overthrew the powers of the rule class and the military in the step of 1944 (or, at early time of 1945) and finished the war either. Though the communist party should owe "Responsibility" to accomplish the war of the rule class to the last minute, In the expectation of guidance of fight by which rule class is overthrown for the Japan Communist Party that is already eviscerated thoroughly by the Stalin principle, is confused, and has been dismantled, expecting it is the one inelegantly.

About the disaster of the atomic bomb -- in general, disastrous of the imperialism war --, the discussion to comment on "Responsibility" in opponent country and "Crime" has been performed in coolness, and the sentimentalism "Only bombed country" etc. on which the Japan Communist Party etc. insisted has promoted this. However, we emphasize for us to have to ask "Responsibility" of Japan -- rule class and the Japan Socialist Party and Japan Communist Party, etc. -- at first and to clarify it.

As for this, even the problem of a present nuclear weapon is similar. Because, "Responsibility" of Japan is shelved as well as the atomic bomb dropping and a fraudulent discussion of the liberal who makes only "Responsibility" of the foreign country a problem spreads in this respect. With shelving the reinforcement of the army of "Self-defense" straightening Japan (protecting it), the reason of prohibiting only the nuclear weapon "for self-defense", might be the barrel one. The liberal never thinks that they apply the reason to the nuclear weapon to the Self Defense Forces in Japan. It is a reason who they are swiz masters and is the hypocrisy persons.

We emphasize that as follows. A reactionary policy and the imperialism policy of the monopolistic capital of the home country should be first given priority, be checked, attention be paid, it be indicted, and the worker class be prosecuted in the imperialism world. Even it is a principle international duty of the worker class and it is a responsibility. Because, the rule class is integrating them in oneself often shelving the own imperialism policies by vociferating the imperialism of another country and inveigling the class which is ruled about the imperialism of another country. The roaring for person institutes the problem in the national principle at this and is entirely reactionary and a person who serves to the rule class as for the imperialism policy of another country. As for us, a reactionary sect and the right wing can see the model. Of course, the Japan Socialist Party and Communist Party, the citizens ideologists, and liberals are similar.
