The bankruptcy has been exposed historically.
The corruption is severe with the Communist Party also joining it.
----------
The word such as "Olive Tree" is becoming a popular word. The Democratic Party expressed it, and Ito of the Shamin Party also brought it forward. It has begun to be considered rapidly as a step of the power concentration replacing the Liberal-Democratic Party because the Minyuren (the People's Friend Union) that was newly formed by six parties also flattered it. It is the name of the union front, "the movement body" that supports the "left-center" regime formed in Italy now. The opposition parties increasing excessively in number like mushrooms after a rain try to plunder the regime from the Liberal-Democratic Party by the indiscriminate imitation also in Japan. However, the worker do not support the one such as "Olive Tree" and will oppose worker's class-sided and fundamental fight to it.

Naoto Kan talked in The Asahi Newspaper on January 21 as "In the method of reoganization, there is also the way to agree in the regime plan of four years of the office term of the House of Representatives and to present the people the choices by putting up the union prime minister candidate like the "Olive Tree" in Italy besides the method of integration with agreeing in the idea and the policy. We can cooperate with ascertaining the range that can be taken in the reality though having the ideal if we have the resolution to bear the regime."
Kan has introduced himself to the prime minister candidate virtually, and he boasts of the first questionnaire "support rate" as the prime minister candidate in the politician if excludes incumbent Hashimoto. The ambition of Kan is increasing with thinking that the expectation of 10% is not bad. If the union front would be formed and win the victory by any chance he, needless to say, should be pushed as the prime minister.
However, the worker cannot have any fantasy in the one such as "Olive Tree."
Though it is advertised as something novelty; However, such an experience has been very much in the history of capitalism, therefore, in the history of the class struggle of the worker.
For instance, it had already appeared in France as a regime in which a member of the Social Democratic Party also joined before the World War I. In Russia in the age of the revolution in 1917, it had gone up on the stage of the history in typical shape as a regime where the Social Democratic Party (Menshevik and SR = the Social Revolution Party, this is the political party like the Communist Party now) joined to a bourgeois, liberal political party (Kadety).
After the World War I, the regime mainly of the Social Democratic Party of Germany in 20's and the regime in which the liberals and the social democratics and furthermore the communist party joined in 30's in France and Spain, the people's front government (to say in fashionable word, "the democratic union regime"), the virtual "left-center regime" had influence, too. The Labor Party regime of Britain was substantially similar, too.
And after World War II, it has been born all over the world according to an each occasional situation. It is not unusual at all now. Besides the one of Europe immediately after the war, a typical one might be the Allende regime born in Chili.
Do you say that these regimes are the regimes of "the left" and not the "left-center" regime, and the Communist Party does not wish to join the regime with Naoto Kan holding the key position that is supposed in Japan? However, whether the Communist Party degenerated and made to the bourgeois joins or does not join is not essential at all.
Actually, "the Left Democratic Party" that is the "main sect" of the Communist Party before (That is, the virtual Communist Party) is enshrining in the center of the Prodi regime of present Italy heavily. Do you say that it is not the Communist Party and it has changed the name to "the Left Democratic Party" already? However, the problem is not the mane but the actual content of politics. How does the present "Left Democratic Party" differ essentially from the former Italian Communist Party of "structure reformation principle" and "Euro Communism" even if the name is different? Does it differ only in the point that it has changed the signboard, according to the reformist and bourgeois nature of it, does not?
Furthermore, there is nothing so clear that the Japan Communist Party agrees with the former Italy Communist Party, that is, the present Left Democratic Party in the base of the politics exactly, they both have no intention, no "ambition," and no courage besides infatuating with "the 'democratic' improvement within the limit of capitalism," this is the route that the Italy Communist Party = the Left Democratic Party and the Japan Communist Party are emphasizing themselves.
Does someone say that the Left Democratic Party is not the Communist Party and there is another Communist Party, that is, "the Communist Party Rebuilding Sect," it is the true Communist Party? (Because they stick to the name and are shouting that they cannot discard it, "will rebuild" the true Communist Party.) Well, let's determine to admit this "Communist Party Rebuilding Sect" as the true Communist Party, that is, the brother party of the Japan Communist Party. (Though the tone of both is different in some measure. The Japan Communist Party is politically approaching "the Left Democratic Party" more and more than "the Rebuild Communist Party.")
However, I wonder whether an advantageous one for the people who hold the fantasy in the left-center regime will come out.
Poor for these you, the Communist Party Rebuilding Sect also has been joining in this Italy "left-center" regime neatly. Though the power of the olive Tree acquired the majority in the Senate, it does not get there in the House of Representatives. This power being driven into a corner approached the Communist Party and the Communist Party joined a part of the regime delightedly. (They said "the cooperation of outside Cabinet" as worrying some appearances like the Shamin Party in Japan.)
Thus the nonsense of the insistence is exposed, such as "the Olive Tree" is useless because there is no Communist Party and it will be good if the Communist Party will enter. In case of the present Communist Party making to be bourgeois, it is the same thing whether to stand in outside or to join "the Olive Tree," that is, the "route" of bourgeois reformism. This is proven in Italy.
To say incidentally, the Socialist Party = the Shamin Party of Japan has lost the whole support and trust of the workers now in exchange for the position of the government party. It can exactly be said to be the consequence of one's deeds. There is no party as foolish as this party posing as clever. Though they talked briskly as "The political party that does not take the regime is equal to the cat that does not take the rat," they actually stopped themselves to be the cat now and have fallen low even to a mere, trivial rat.
Well, we might have to report for this "true" Communist Party of Italy that there is following passage, they caused a "commotion" of the regime renunciation last October with repulsing to the policy of the government that they support around the pension reformation; However, they had no principle and easily admitted own "wrong," surrendered and stayed in the frame of the regime. Though they also dread going away from the regime and attached much more importance to the position of "government party" than principle; How much does this look like the Socialist Party = the Shamin party that has already occupied the place of "government party" for several years?
The conclusion derived from the experience of the Prodi regime in Italy (The bourgeois and the Communist Party are corresponding in the evaluation as typical "left-center" regime.) is that we cannot say it is not the left-center even if the Communist Party is joining partly, and moreover, we cannot say that the regime was essentially different from the democratic union government (the people's front government). That is, the regime of "left-center" is basically the same as the democratic union government that the Communist Party recommends at the class and political character.
This has already been plainly exposed in Italy, and it will not be so far that it is proven in Japan.
The bourgeois essence of Prodi "centrist-leftist" regime might be clear.
The objective role of this regime is to rebuild and make healthy the Italian economy, that is, the Italian capitalism in place of a plain, bourgeois regime.
Therefore, what this regime is doing and has been trying to do is the "restructuring" of nation and enterprise, that is, exactly the problem that Hashimoto regimes had hoisted, the "Financial rebuilding" and the "Economic reformation." (Whether it is possible to do is another question!)
For instance, though the Prodi regime reduced the fiscal deficit with 7% of total domestic production in 96 within 3% in 97; This was the standard for Italy to participate in the currency integration, too. The reason by which this regime could achieve this problem was the pressing the victim against the worker and the compulsion of "Austerity" and "Endurance." The excuse such as they could do nothing but it under capitalism, the Italian capitalism was not possible to recover and to live in the world except doing so was only a hollow one for the worker. Even if the surviving by pressing the victim against the worker is a nature of capitalism, is it the role of the Communist Party, the Shamin Party or the opposition party to do it?
The meaning of such bourgeois, reformistic regime is nothing but that if the plain class regime of capital, that is, the Liberal-Democratic Party's regime can do nothing named "reformation" no matter what kind it is, and, it is clarified more and more that the Liberal-Democratic Party cannot do it every day, they will do the "reformation" for the capital well in place of it.
Prodi himself is a typical "bourgeois," that is, he is an elite who had occupyed the position of even the president of the industrial revival public corporation; the secretary-general Massimo D'Alema, the "able man" of the Democratic Party of the Left (the old Communist Party) had put up such man.
It is said that just the secretary-general of this leftist Democratic Party is the beginning person or the wire-puller "Olive Tree." He thought it was necessary to put up neither the Democratic Party of the Left nor him who was still carrying the snuff of the Communist Party but the harmless bourgeois who had the look like "not soiled by the dirt of politics." However, such thing is only the ordinary and makeshift way that had often been done in the age of the people's front strategy. For instance, recollect the facts that the foolish "bourgeois" Daladier in France and Azana In Spain were put up in 1930's.
I wonder that D'Alema is after all Huwa or Shii in Japan, or another talent will appear who will be convenient for carrying out more plain, that is, more shameless, bourgeois policy in the Communist Party. Anyway, it seems to be the talent who lazes around hereafter there in the Japan Communist Party and to go out from this intraparty in succession.
The Japan Communist Party is criticizing the plan of the olive Tree in some measure, but they are trying to conceal having repeated the same thing all over the world after 1930's. (It completely corresponds to the Stalinistic and bourgeois degeneration of the communist movement.)
The worker emphasizes that we can not and should not have any fantasy to the "plan" like olive Tree, that is, such as the left-center regime. It is only the reactionary plot to confine the working class in the frame of system of capital by the fantasy of novel and stunted improvement and reformation.
Such a try is not new in any way, but the nonsense and the reactionary have been proven and exposed completely in the history. Crush decisively the fantasy of the Olive Tree!
