  1. CIA failed hard. Good thing that Ikeda moderated his party.

  2. Very well-research. I learn a lot from this. My only criticism with this video is a flaw in its conclusion, 23:30. That is not the Left-Right political spectrum (the X-axis) of a political compass. That is the Up-Down political spectrum (the Y axis) to measure civil order. The Up half represents authority based politics, and the Down half represents individual based politics. The examples this video used were two political extremes: Authoritarianism ("far-up" lol) and Libertarianism ("far-down" lol). It's important not to confuse the two axes. Because the Left-Right spectrum is meant to measure priority: egalitarian values vs hierarchical values. The Japanese LDP under Kishi was authoritarian AND militaristic. The JSP under Asanuma was constitutionalist AND revolutionary socialists. Two complex extremes. So it is not possible to accurately lump them in basic spectrum. You have to use a political compass. +The LDP under Ikeda was transformed to constitutional liberalism, a moderate solution. At least, that's how I gauge it.

  3. LMAO. Nah bro. The Japanese go hard with their protests. The reason you don't see major demonstrations in Japan anymore is because the government makes it impossible to happen.

  6. I knew that before. But I didn't know much about Kishi until this video. That explains a lot about Abe.

  7. Soviet revolutionary socialism (aka Communism) was atrocious. But what anti-communism paranoia did to the "Free World" was equally devastating. That reactionary fear and panic caused a lot of corruption, oppression, and wars.
