The Asahi Shimbun's front page on the 25th openly discussed the path for Japan to revive its militarism.
The news said: "The Liberal Democratic Party government of Japan is considering nationalizing military factories and outsourcing ammunition production to private companies to ensure a stable supply of ammunition for the Self-Defense Forces in case of an emergency."
[A Few Words]
Japan's nationalization of military factories is far from a simple industrial adjustment, but rather a dangerous "rewriting of the social contract." It establishes maintaining a strong military industry as an unquestionable national goal under the guise of "crisis management," essentially transforming society's "trauma of defeat" into a collective mindset prepared for the next conflict.
This not only builds an uncontrolled military engine in material terms, but also paves the way for more radical military liberalization in the spiritual sense. Therefore, we must clearly understand that when the war machine gains independent will and begins to dominate societal thinking, the foundation of peace has already begun to crumble.
What we can do now is: remain vigilant, increase the physical cost of Japan's re-armament of militarism, while closely monitoring their first step.
