Possible Alliance Between “Right Wing” and “Left Wing” Against the US Occupation in Japan

Abstract

Abstract

In the election for the upper house on July 20,  2025, the Sanseito Party achieved a significant success in Japan. There is one more difficulty on the side of the Sanseito Party, as its populist purpose provides no reason to ally with the Communist Party. The same applies to other countries, such as Germany, France, England, and the Netherlands, among others. Exclusionism of the newly emerging “far-right parties” cannot be shared by the communists. If the communist parties want to form an alliance with them, they will lose many of their supporters. However, under the situation of Trump’s America First strategy, JCP has an objective role to strengthen its anti-US characteristics. In this case, JCP and the Sanseito Party will compete with each other to be more against the US. By identifying the similarities and differences with the political situation seen in Western countries, we must explore the direction we should take.
