Redit: Japanese political compass 2024

 

Japanese political compass found in https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalCompassMemes/comments/1c0a5ca/japanese_political_parties_on_the_compass/

This is still very rough and a wee bit inaccurate. Yet, it depicts the rough idea of the distribution of these political parties. According to it, I am the very centrist in Japan as I have a highest number of match with the manifesto of 国民民主党 (National Democratic party). Maybe NHK党 (The party for abolition of the national TV Broadcasting station) too, but found not practical enough to be a mainstream political party. I have to disagree with 公明党 (Komei party) as it is likely to be against the separation of religion and politics stated in the constitution although I have a compatibility with their moderately liberalist stance. .... I have to say that the position of 日本維新の会 (The party of Ishin) should be economically far right wing and socially more authoritarian; just slightly more liberal than the 自民党 (LDP).

 

The quote from Milton Friendman about how the market economy can serve for good in politics

 

This is why I still strongly support the market economy (some call Capitalism) for not only political economics but also ethical reasoning! This is a spontaneous order inducing individuals' interests even with their evil intension trading off to providing needs and wants of the others! This is why I strongly support individuals' property right as their reward of fulfilling their motivation to survive as well as serving good for the public!!

Even comparing the authoritarian countries, those with the proper market economy, i.e. freer economy, seem to have a higher degree of social freedom than the other counterparts. Those political and socially free countries which have introduced a more collective form, i.e. less freer economy, tend to lose their overall freedom. We also have to be warned of the corporatism, the new form of totalitarianism, where a market is monopolised by few hands of corporate elites.

Illustrated Sana-Myon: Sanae Kochiya & Myon (Youmu Konpaku). My favourite Touhou characters. I love them as much as wishing to have them as my daughters. Their weak and strange characteristics are quite similar to mine. lol Of course, I have already voted for the Touhou Project popularity poll https://toho-vote.info/ .
