Japan's political ideology situation

The Japanese right wing is patriotic but has no concept of "FREEDOME". This is because Japan is still a dynasty (longer than the UK's royal family) and the right wing is a camp that pledges loyalty to being subjects of the emperor.

By the way, the majority of modern Japanese are leftists. Rather, they are non-political and non-religious (me? was also!). This can be said to be the result of "neutralization" after the defeat in WWII. As Elon Musk and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have said on Twitter Space 2 years ago, "Palestine should be rebuilt using Japan and Germany as models".

In terms of economic ideology, we are "all left" in the sense of big government.

Big government has worked well for the nation-state and as a piggy bank for the US. However, in recent years, the right wing, which supports small government, has gradually gained power. This is because big government is no longer functioning well today.

The new draft constitution that a new political party that is gradually gaining support has published would be typical toward things described above this.

The new draft constitution proclaims patriotism, tradition and pure blood principle, but the words "national sovereignty" and "human rights" have been removed, and the chapter on "national rights" follows the chapter on "public interest."

Oh yes! I think that, because Japan's far-right patriotism is linked to the monarchy, the design of its social system for subjects would be far-left from the perspective of Western values.

In this election, far right populism has made great strides. Japan has also been able to copycat global trends.
