Japan's Alarming Turn to the Right
Hasn't Japanese politics, or more broadly, hasn't Japanese society of late been steadily making a "shift rightward"? For some time now I have been asking people for their personal opinions about this point and have been paying special attention to interviews and other articles in magazines and newspapers relating to this question. My general impression from it all is that politicians and government officials in conservative circles are keenly aware of this shift rightward, and many of them, in fact, take it to mean that the world has been set a little straighter, that the political strength of the reformist [>u>kakushin]>/u> forces is receding, and that many things can now be more easily carried out than they once could. On the other hand, most Socialists and Communists also clearly recognize this trend to the right, and it appears that many of them are experiencing feelings of crisis that their political power is on the wane.
