Toyama Koichi's Tweet Collection 2010


July	31	I went to the screening of "The Cove". I hear that some right-wingers are fighting to prevent the screening of the film, but shouldn't they rather switch to a campaign to promote it? Most people would feel patriotic or sympathetic to the rural fishermen whose lives are being ruined by crazy people, which would have the opposite effect of the film's intention.
August	1	I don't know what to do when people who are about as intelligent as dolphins say that dolphins are as intelligent as humans.
	4	The modern states are "nation-states," but at the present time, many "right-leaning youth" are still unable to distinguish between the concepts of "nation" and "state," and often think about themselves as "nationalists", but end up serving the "state" system. Please study carefully and check your words and actions.
	5	The nails that are accustomed to being sticking out are tough to be hammered down. [There is a proverb in Japan that says "the nails that stick out get hammered down" (those who stand out will soon be suppressed).]
	5	Was this phrase that rang in my head when I woke up my original gag, or was it the joke of the Rahmens (a famous Japanese comedy duo) or someone else? Or was it the episode when Paul McCartney came up with the melody of Yesterday?
	8	The reason why Japan invaded China and Korea is that China abandoned its role of uniting the entire Chinese cultural sphere, including its vassal states Korea and Japan, to defeat the Western powers, and Japan was forced to take over this role, even though it lacked sufficient capabilities. Thus, China must apologize to Japan and Korea for Japan's invasion of China and Korea.
	9	Nationalism and ethnocentrism are different. It is outrageous that self-proclaimed nationalists are saying that "Koreans should leave Japan," and if they are true nationalists, they should say that "Koreans living in Japan should be given Japanese citizenship" and make them "nationals".
	9	Many "theories about the 80s" (written in Japan) sum up that the radical subculture movement of the late 70s and early 80s was recruited by capital in the mid-80s and transformed into something rather "regime-like". So, you should realize that the "blue movement" emerged as a revolt against that "new regime" in the late 80s, you idiot!!!!
	11	What post-modernized and animalized "critic" says should be regarded as synonymous with something like "bowwow" or "meow". [A dig at Azuma Hiroki, the most famous critic of the same generation and the author of a well-known book titled "Animalizing Postmodernity".]
		How can anyone believe such delusions as "the Constitution is a command from the people to the State" or "laws are commands from the State to the people"? Both the Constitution and laws are, in essence, "commands from the state to the state itself", or a kind of "company rule" for public servants. It should be obvious that we have neither the memory of having given order nor the reason for being ordered, don't you think?
		The fact that not only the Constitution but even laws are "commands from the state to the state itself" can be seen, for example, in the fact that the "crime of murder" clause of the Penal Code does not prohibit murder, but stipulates how to deal with murderers.
		The popular belief that "the Constitution is a command from the people to the state (and vice versa for laws)" is one of the tricks and fictions used to support the great deception of democracy, and in that sense it is the same as the "social contract" theory.
	12	The idiom, rebellious age version. "The boy glared at me as if I were a fellow of his parents". [In Japan, there is an idiom "with the eyes as if seeing one's parents' enemy".]
		I am not stubborn. Even if all the people in the world call me stubborn, I am definitely not stubborn!
		My TV speech for the Tokyo gubernatorial election was a normal anarchist (including fascist) view on elections, and my US presidential campaign speech was a normal anti-globalism in terms of content. I'm just saying it in a funny way. But most people don't understand even such level of things. It's disgusting.
	13	In response to this time of year, I am going to hold an event titled "Don't let the memory of that war fade away" and "Now is the time to tell the story of that war to the youth" with Mr. Chisaka Kyoji as a guest speaker to talk exhaustively about the Revolutionary War of 1968. We all need to think about the war.
	18	Today's quote from Chisaka Kyoji; "Leftists are all talk and no deed, while rightists are ruffians of poor words. We should aim to be the worst type, 'argumentative ruffians'".
		Today's second quote from Chisaka Kyoji; "Scholars are parasites on universities, critics are parasites on the publishing industry, and ideologues are parasites on political parties. The absence of ideologue-type intellectuals today is a problem of the 'absence of the Party'".
		Last night, an exchange meeting with several people. Mr. Ono, a leftist, and Mr. A, a rightist, had a heated argument. And Mr. Chisaka and I sorted out their controversy by saying, "Mr. Ono says, 'What is right is beautiful', and Mr. A says, 'What is beautiful is right". Then, they agreed with each other, saying, "Oh, we are the same!". No, no, no, those are not the same.
	20	Staff member Miss S. is wondering. "Which would be a bigger shock, Darth Vader's confession, 'I am your father', or my father's confession, 'I am Darth Vader'"?
	23	The role of the revolutionary party is to be perfectly prepared for the revolution to take place at any moment and then simply wait for it.
		I recalled another quote from Kyoji Chisaka of the other day. "The right-wingers easily become pawns of state power, and the left-wingers easily become pawns of foreign powers". This is absolutely true.
		A left-wing stance on domestic issues and a right-wing stance on foreign issues. This is important.
	24	For the new magazine, I recorded the "Left-Right Dialogue" between Ono Toshihiko and Fujimura Osamu. I don't know if it succeeded in being an interesting dialogue, but my aim is to show that this kind of dialogue between the left and right is taking place on a daily basis in Fukuoka, and it doesn't have to be interesting!
	24	After discussing with my subordinate, we decided not to call cockroaches "cockroaches" from now on. Because we are scared of by just the word. Alternatives might be "cultural crickets", "at-home crickets", "relatives crickets", "modern crickets", "house insects", "seniors of mankind", or simply "seniors". A senior is out! Hurry up, the insecticide!!!!!!!!
	25	Reading note: A commentary on Bakunin by the commander of the barricades in Paris, where Bakunin was frequented during the 1848 Revolution. He was "a true treasure on the first day of the revolution, but a man who must be shot on the second day". Ha ha. He must have been a very charming and mendacious character.
	27	The manuscript of Mr. Ono Toshihiko's thorough criticism of me for a article in the new magazine, a project to privatize the magazine by asking leftist critics to criticize me thoroughly, arrived, and I read it with tears in my eyes.
		Mr. Benjamin Fulford speaking. A number of very compelling conspiracy theories. The truth is... we will know when we come to power by establishing a revolutionary government. Therefore, those of you who are eager to find out if the conspiracy theories are true or false, should also throw yourselves into the revolutionary movement. [Benjamin Fulford is a conspiracy theorist who was active for a time in the Japanese media. born in 1961, a Canadian, and was said to have once been the Asia-Pacific bureau chief for the economic magazine Forbes. he was naturalized in Japan in 2007.]
		I don't go too deep into conspiracy theories because there is no way to ultimately confirm their truth. However, it would be a good idea to hear about various things in advance so that I will not be shocked when I am informed of any facts when I gain the power.
		There is only one conspiracy theory that I am convinced to be true and have even professed as such. The global warming theory is a conspiracy by pro-nuclear power advocates!
	28	" Following the recommendation of the Fuehrer (not me, but the Fuehrer of the Blue Wolf Association, Sato Satoshi), who is staying at our party headquarters, we had a series of screenings of "The Dark Knight" and "2012". The latter was indeed "unconvincing fun".
	28	Today's quote from Sato Satoshi : "Young people these days don't even read enough manga. What are their parents doing?"
	29	I came to the central streets of Fukuoka City to inspect the situation with Mr. Sato Satoshi, the Fuehrer of the East, because there might be a "left-right clash" here. However, a group of rightists suddenly started to accuse me for smoking on the street. They seemed to want to make the city "clean" like North Korea. This is exactly why I can't support "either" side.
		As I watched the leftists, the security police in turn blamed me for smoking on the street.
		I went through the struggle of smoking on the street, bypassing the watchful eyes of the rightists and the public security. The content of the speeches, both on the left and right, is of no concern.
		I don't remember whose quote it was of today; "There is no telling what my young guys will do, because they can't read the situation".
	30	Today's quote from Sato Satoshi; "Our Japan is no longer a defeated nation. We are a member of the victorious nations (the Western camp) in World War III, i.e., the Cold War".
	31	I have been reading "Revelations from the History" by Chisaka Kyoji, which was recently donated to our party by the author himself. I am troubled by the fact that what I have been saying and writing about for the past several years as if it were my new discovery was discussed more thoroughly and precisely nearly 40 years ago.
	31	"The 'revolutionary'… must must oppose the 'masses'. The 'revolutionary' must be betrayed by the 'masses' as his own will, and if the 'revolutionary' denies the fact, we can only see there the emergence of Stalinism" (Chisaka). I just said the same thing to Mr. Ono the other day, but with a more idiotic rhetoric.
September	1	The limestone caves are filled with disgusting objects. "I'm sure this is what Kant means by 'thing-in-itself,'" said staff member Miss S.
	1	Sakurajima, Kirishima, Aso, Unzen, Kuju, Yufudake...famous mountains in our Kyushu Island are all volcanoes. Moreover, they are ACTIVE volcanoes. ...It's so hot!
	3	I sometimes hear people say things like, "I want to be a writer," but I wonder if they have something that they have to write (even though no one asked them to) like I do. Almost all of my past works were written without any expectation of publication, and publication was only decided afterwards.
	4	Those who are intellectuals are not a class, but rather dropouts from the class, in other words, the superfluous who have no feet on the ground. Therefore, we should not self-identify as the working class. Class fraud is the beginning of Stalinism. ...I tried my best to explain to Mr. Ono the other day, but he didn't understand it.
		To self-justify being an intellectual who has no feet on the ground and start saying twisted things like "the dictatorship of the intellectual (non)class" is the beginning of fascism.
		I will work as a street musician also tonight. I will work very hard, but I am not a working class member.
		Wondering, "Aren't there any other people of superfluous who have dropped out of their original classes?", then remembering that "there are in the military (in peacetime)!", and thinking that "the revolution has as much as been accomplished if the intellectuals and the military join forces together as the same rootless people", if he begins to be on the spree, at that time, he is completely a fascist.
	7	I watched a very silly comedy film titled "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story". The film was just plain silly, but the bonus "audio commentary" was really amazing. It was even funnier than the main feature.
		Proofreading and layout of Mr. Suga Hidemi's manuscript for the new magazine. It is probably the most dangerous manuscript in terms of content this time, but very few people can understand how dangerous it is, and that is why it is even more dangerous.
		The new magazine is for "rightists who cannot follow the current "Zaitokukai" line, leftists who cannot follow the current "precariat" line, and fascists". I asked Mr. Nakagawa Fumito a manuscript "a defense of "Zaitokukai" by leftists who cannot follow the current "precariat" line".
	8	I casually picked up from the book shelf and eventually finished reading "The Inquiry" by Kawakami Toru in one sitting. It is a memoir of the so-called "New-opportunism incident," the hunt for heretics and the great purge that took place in the Japanese Communist Party in 1972, written by a person who was suspected as a heretic and subjected to an "inquisition. Hmmm, the incident is even more ridiculous than I had imagined.
	10	It has been a while since I read Shiba Ryotaro. It's no wonder he is called the "National Writer", his works are very interesting. Although Shiba's works do not have a good reputation among people who are really knowledgeable about history, being interesting is good for the time being.
		I had a preconceived notion about Shiba Ryotaro and somehow regarded his works as ridiculous, but while I was in prison, I decided to read whatever I could get my hands on at the place, and I became increasingly absorbed in his works. Furthermore, right after I was released from prison, I read 80% of Shiba's novels about the end of the Edo period. I think Shiba's works are the best for those who are not familiar with the history of the end of the Edo period as the introduction. Details can be corrected later by reading other books.
		I have not read most of Shiba's works about the Warring States period. Mr. Nakagawa Fumito has repeatedly insisted, "It is often said that the current situation is very similar to the end of the Shogunate. It is right. However, it is not the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, but the end of the Muromachi Shogunate. We are now entering the age of the Warring States Period, in which various powers, large and small, would struggle with each other!", I might as well read the books.
	13	Nihon Communist Party, Nihon Socialist Party, Nihon Red Army, Great Nippon Patriotic Party.... The Constitution of Nihon, the Great Nippon Imperial Constitution.... Prewar Nippon, postwar Nihon.... There is a mysterious law in the use between "Nihon" and "Nippon"!? After two hours of heated debate, we unanimously rejected this hypothesis.
		Let's change "Nihon" to "Great Nippon". The Great Japanese Communist Party, the Great Japanese Red Army, the Great Japanese Teachers Union, the Sinking of all but Great Japan [Japanese cult movie], the Great Japanese Macaque, the Great Japanese Crayfish, the Great Japanese Encephalitis.... "The Great Japanese Social Democratic Party" would definitely be a fascist party. "What are you good at?", "A little bit of Great Japanese Dance..."
		Anyway, let's add "Great" to everything. Great Aomori [a prefecture in rural Japan], Great Akabane [a minor place in Tokyo], Great Itabashi [same], Great NEET, Great Thermal Power Station, the Great Waltz of the Puppy, Tetsuko's Great Room [a long-running Japanese TV show], the Great Little Boy [a novel by Natsume Soseki], the Great Depression in the Great Rural Area [a novel by Tayama Katai], the Great Brothers Karamazov, the Communist Great Manifesto, the Great Interpretation of Dream, the Great Critique of Pure Reason.... Great petit bourgeois, Great petit bourgeois nature, Great petit bourgeois radicalism. "You Great petit bourgeois!"
	15	Makita Yoshiaki's "My Struggle" was indeed an unmistakable masterpiece. It is as interesting as Jerry Rubin's "DO IT!" The same is true of Hashimoto Katsuhiko's "The Wind That Blows Through the Barricade," and the fact that such "1968" books, which should really be read, are always "hard to access" is both the cause and the result of the stupidity of the Japanese intellectual scene.
	15	I inevitably tend to watch only major entertainment movies. I have always been a boring man who goes to the rental shop with the intention of watching some stylish and tedious European film in a mini-theater style, but after much hesitation, end up renting "Die Hard" or something similar.
	16	Last night, I spent the night at the party headquarters all by my lonesome, watching various movies. However, the combination of "The Life of Kiryuin Hanako" [Japanese yakuza movie, English titled "Onimasa"], "District 9", "Shimotsuma Story" [Japanese girlish taste comedy, English titled "Kamikaze Girls"], "Amelie", and "The Gambler: Big Time Gambling Boss" [Japanese yakuza movie] was crazy. Well, it's boring to watch five movies in a row with the same tendency.
	16	Now that Staff Member Miss S. is back, let's continue the movie binge. I watch movies alone that might make me cry (although last night's selections were not such movies). I don't watch scary movies alone!
	22	There are two kinds of "political nihilism". They correspond to what Nietzsche called "passive nihilism" and "active nihilism. The former is so-called "political apathy", and the latter is nihilism itself made into a political ideology and movement. I am a political nihilist in the latter meaning.
	22	In the past, there was a heavier penalty for parricide than for murder in general, but logically, the opposite should be true. It is the parents' responsibility that their child grew up to be such a person who kills his/her parents. In principle, I think that even acquittal is enough.
October	10	I don't usually check the TV news or newspapers for mental health reasons, as both the coverage and the media are doubly stupid. It is probably rare for a political activist to be as "politically apathetic" as I am.
	10	The day before yesterday I watched unusually a news program. The main topic was that Ms. Renho had taken a photo for some fashion magazine inside the Diet building, and Ms. Katayama Satsuki had pursued the matter at the Diet session. It seems that the stupidity of Japanese society has increased more than I had imagined. Discuss such things at a pub, or better yet, at a barber's shop!
	14	Although I had a lot of things I needed to do, I picked up Fukuda Kazuya's "Strange Ruins; A Genealogy of Anti-Modernism and collaborators in France", which I was about to read, and ended up reading it all.
		Brasillach, who was executed as a cultural collaborator with Germany, is described as to have regarded fascism as a movement for the movement of "glorification for adolescence" against "a terrible times that oppresses youth". Today is also such a "terrible times".
		Although there is strong hostility among my age and more younger generations on both the left and right against the babyboomers, since the late 80s, when I was a youth, it is rather the generation born around 1960, symbolized by terms such as "new age", "postmodern", and "subculture," which has "oppressed youth" and prevented the next generation from coming into the world.
		The situation of criticism in the "2000s", led by Azuma Hiroki, who could appeared and established "hegemony" because he was accepted as homogeneous by those born around 1960, who had prevented the appearance of younger generations with heterogeneous styles and sensibilities, is therefore nothing more than a "false map of thought". [At this time, the magazine "Map of Thought", published mainly by Azuma, was one of the centers of the Japanese criticism scene.]
		In the first place, the "hostility against baby boomers" itself was fueled by the "new age" generation born around 1960, and it is ridiculous that our generation born around 1970 and even younger generations have been made to share such hostility, or in short, it is nothing more than a capitulation to the "new age" generation.
		We are fascists, which in a sense means extreme anarchists. To our right is the ordinary left, including moderate anarchists, who are our enemies. Further to our right are the conservatives, the establishment, who are also our enemies. We are trying to join with the right-wing forces even further to the right, to strike a blow between the two in the middle. .... we could also say so.
		I'm watching unusually TV news again. They are reporting endlessly on the rescue of miners in South America. Is it really necessary to report the process in such detail? I guess they merely want to say, "Thank you for the emotional impact". Oh, gee, I hate it.
		Since the end of the Cold War, governments have been leaning to the left. Since young people are always roughly correct and rebellious, the recent "rightward shift of the youth" is superficially a natural phenomenon. The problem is that many leftists still subjectively identify themselves with the anti-establishment side, while many rightists still subjectively identify themselves with the establishment (conservative) side, a "cold war idiot".
		Sensing the leftward tilt of the government, some anarchists, who are thoroughly anti-establishment, will leave the leftist camp, join with right-wing forces, which will sooner or later be pushed into anti-establishment position, and eventually challenge the coalition of the left-leaning government and the left-wing forces to a decisive battle. This is my vision of the fascist movement.
	18	Exchange meeting is going on. Tonight, by chance, we are brainstorming about catchphrases for the upcoming election of Mr. Motoyama, a member of the Fukuoka branch of the Restoration Political Party "New Wind". However, we get carried away and come up with a lot of useless phrases. "Death to Fukuoka City Council!", "I'm more than you thought", and since he wants to focus on education, "Re-educate Fukuoka Citizens!", well, since he is a right-winger, "Military-First Politics".... This is not an election of Toyama Koichi!
	19	In the cace someone says "don't associate with a guy like XXX", I have always wished to be that "XXX," or at the very least, I have tried not to be the kind of person who utters such a line.
	30	Staff member Miss S. came up with something new. She suggested that... during the rap parts of a karaoke track of some hit song that includes such parts, how about rhythmically reciting some difficult philosophical text (Hegel, Heidegger, etc). Of course, the singing part (even the lyrics) should remain the same as the original. Nonsense, but it might be avant-garde.
	31	Last night, I learned a "trivia about traveling" from a member of the "Dokungo Theater". The Harimaya Bridge in Kochi Prefecture was famous as a "disappointing sightseeing spot" because it is actually a "bridge site" with only parapets and no river, but in recent years, the river has been deliberately poured in order to change its bad reputation, thus visitors expecting a "disappointing sightseeing spot" will be disappointed because of their failure to be disappointed.
November	5	These days, people who walk around smoking, or even litter, are treated like the worst offenders, but those who are on the scene where someone is arrested or jumps to his or her death, and snap away on their cell phones, I think, are much lesser human beings, aren't they?
	6	Around the "Amateur Revolt" area, there is a quite unusual (or rather, annoying) man who I am also vaguely acquainted with, but apparently there are many people in Koenji who think that he is me. Despite the only thing we have in common is our "hairstyle"! It really bothers me that I get a bad reputation because of a misunderstanding that is beyond my responsibility.
	8	I arrived in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, and have been circling around Sasebo Park since a while ago. I saw the backstage tent of the "Dokungo Theater". But I couldn't find the way to approach it by car. Thinking that "Is this the entrance to the park?", I almost entered the U.S. military base. I decided to leave such a dangerous zone. Let's find a place where I can park my car and relax.
	8	I actually like ancient history quite a bit, and recently I've been reading a book by Okada Hidehiro. Its content may be difficult for right-wingers to accept, but I am a fascist, not a right-winger, so I don't mind. It is nice that his view of history is different from the left-wing "self-flagellation" view, and that it would be probably disliked not only by the Japanese, but also by the Koreans and Chinese.
	11	A thought occurred to me. The grandfather of Matsumoto Ryu, a Lower House representative elected from Fukuoka, was Matsumoto Jiichiro, the "father of Buraku Liberation Movement," and Ryu is a third-generation congressman from this Jiichiro. Although Ryu's father was originally Ryu's grandfather's nephew who later became his adopted son, it is hard to understand why a member of the Diet based on an anti-discrimination movement should be a hereditary descendant. Is it OK such as "the Matsumoto family has a 'lineage' of politicians from generation to generation"?
	11	When I talk about "anarchism in solidarity with the right wing", I am often accused by self-proclaimed anarchists of saying that such a thing is impossible. Such self-proclaimed anarchists who blindly believe in the common sense or textbook interpretation that "anarchism is a left-wing ideology", do not think with their own brains, and do not consult the actual history of the movement, are no longer worthy of the name of anarchists.
	12	Every generation has a kind of generational privilege. But there is no such thing as a privileged generation. There are many people in the Zenkyoto generation who misunderstand this point, and even though I am basically a supporter of the Zenkyoto movement, I sometimes feel frustrated by them.
	12	There is no justice in majority rule, and therefore it is a great mistake to expect justice from democratic state power. If you expect the state power to have justice, you must first allow dictatorship by a single faction that shares some kind of justice (communism, fascism, Buddhism, Islamic fundamentalism, or whatever, depending on your preference).
	14	It is a misperception to say that I became famous thanks to the Internet. I would have become more famous earlier and in a more appropriate way than I am now if the Japanese people had not become totally moronized by the Internet. I have been saying and doing such "great things" since long before the Tokyo gubernatorial election.
	17	If you want revolution or restoration not reformation, you must have a vision of social change by means other than elections. For revolutionaries and restorationists, elections are meaningless unless they are at least clearly positioned as an auxiliary means to the "main path".
	17	There are often candidates who compare themselves to the "samurai of the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate" and call for "reform" in elections, but they miss the most important point: the Meiji Restoration was never achieved through elections.
	22	Being forced to buy extraordinarily expensive cigarettes. This is a punishment for the anti-government elements who are not obedient to the PC policies of the left-leaning government, and while it is infuriating, it is also an honor to be a revolutionary. Left leaning governments must be overthrown.
		I can promote the performance of "Dokungo" indiscriminately without any worries, because it can be seen by almost any audience to their great satisfaction. However, what I found out after showing it to many people last and this year is that, there is only an exception: it is not popular among those who are focused on the literal political meaning of the play.
		Yesterday or the day before, the director of "Dokungo" said, "I like to see some people in tears and some people laughing out loud when they see the same scene. Ordinary theater people tend to think it better that the audience are unified in order to convey the creator's intention correctly". I believe that the "politics" of "Dokungo," which does not appear on the surface, lies in this attitude.
	25	I prefer driving on ordinary roads to using highways. I can feel that distant places are really connected! This feeling diminishes with using highways. Although it takes much more time, I can reach the destination sooner or later as long as I drive, because the earth is round (it is not related at all).
	26	I am sometimes annoyed when someone expresses easy sympathy for my conversion from the far left to the far right. "You were just blustery when young, then you got old and rounded out and became a conservative. I was very earnest when young, and as a result of the earnestness I leaned to the left, and since then I became more and more radical, and now I am on the far-right. Don't put me in the same class with you!", I want to say, but it's useless, so I'm just pissed off in silence.
		Typical people often boast that "I used to be bad, too", but the revolutionary scene is full of former honor students, so it's rather the opposite. "This old guy, I am now a villain as a national pirate, but I used to be a pretty good person. They always praised me, saying that 'You are a good kid who obeys parents and teachers properly'".
		Of course, I liked the "Band Paradise" TV show very much, but I was already a street musician at the time, and I didn't have a video recorder, so I could watch the late-night weekend program only on rainy days. This is the first time I've seen "Tama" performing on the show. It was both hilarious and deeply moving. It's just too great.
		I went to bed and woke up, still reeling from the impact of "Tama". It was my fault. That was completely a "revolution". I learned keenly the importance of "accessing the original source" (in this case, watching the video recording of the moment when "Tama" first appeared in the world). How could I have missed this as much as 20 years?
		It's fun to be excited about the "Tama" video now after all this time, as if I were someone who is excited about watching my TV speech on the Tokyo gubernatorial election for the first time now after all this time. I met several people who said they cried (while laughing out loud) when watching my speech, and I now know how they feel as well.
		However, "Tama" would not be able to appear into the world if it were now. I "appeared into the world" forcefully by using a method of "circumventing the law," but it was nothing more than a forceful act, therefore, I only ended up raising my name recognition. I am reminded once again of the revolutionary situation "around 1990," and I deeply feel that the "present" is a bad time.
		If Terayama Shuji had been of my generation, he would not have appeared into the world. Tamori and others would not, either. The present is the worst of times also in that sense. It is hard to believe that "Dokugo Theater" is currently still in financial loss. For those of us on this side (that is, the minority), there has never been an era in which it has been so difficult to live.
		Because we are in the midst of such the worst era, we have no other choice but to proceed with our " horrible conspiracy" in even more shameless and vicious manners. It is natural to despair and become insane, but I believe again that we need a "party" of Nietzscheian "supermen," not a movement of mentally ill people who gather to lick each other's wounds. I am a fascist, after all.
		It is a terrible time when it is rather natural for decent people to go mad with despair, commit suicide, or kill others. But those are just what "they" want, so "you" should live (or pretend to live) as I do, baselessly, senselessly, and ridiculously optimistic. Long live the revolution.
	27	There are two types of conversion to the right. One is the stereotypical case in which people who leaned thinly left in their youth with anti-establishment pretensions round out into conservatives when they get older. In the other maze-like case, people who were earnest liberals in their youth gradually became aware of the deceptiveness of their positions and turned radical, and by extension, turned to fascism. Are there the "inner course" and the "outer course" of conversion to the right?
	29	Justice is on the side of the enemy. They are more correct. This acrobatics is the key to Toyama-style fascism.
December	5	While I was away from my eyes for a moment(?), it was a day that I was amazed at how interesting the theater scene in Kumamoto has become.
	5	The "Strange Boys" I saw in the afternoon was a classic, serious avant-garde play, but the evening performance of the "7th Interchange" was an avant-garde play that had gone completely off the rails. That's indeed what they call themselves "avant-garde" (not only correctly, but also shyly) in these days.
	6	What!? I'm so politically apathetic that on the rare occasion I see something on the news, I'm absolutely shocked. The "Health Promotion Law" was one such example, but the "fascismization" (actually, the "Stalinization") has become so readily going on without hesitation as if it were "science fiction!" The "common number system"....
		Even 10 years ago, when things were already going very wrong, there was a certain modesty and skill in avoiding the blatant use of such a term "common number system" and instead using the term "basic resident register" or other terms that made the intention of the system ambiguous. Japanese people have become so moronized that there is no longer any need for the rulers even to plot "terrible conspiracies".
		In the Showa period, Japanese people had the decency enough to recognize that if they had seen "a town without even a single cigarette butt", it must have been a scene from a horribly controlled society such as Malaysia, Singapore, or North Korea.
		Leftists cannot stop this fascistization. Because it is not fascism but Stalinism that is underway. Leftists are rather cooperating with the progress of Stalinization by organizing the few critical forces into the wrong movement. Only the fascist movement can stop Stalinization.
		To say something like, "If I were the prime minister," while aspiring to social change, reveals a poverty of thought that can only think within the framework of the existing system. At the very least, he should say something as much as, "If I were to become the leader of the Shogunate system".
		Working at Revolution, I get to know new people one after another at a fairly rapid pace. However, I can hardly remember their faces and names. Here, I might as well take a picture of every new person I meet, attach their name and other personal information to it, create a database, and look at it occasionally. Promote the "total numbering of acquaintances system"!
		Since my days as a "heretical far-left activist," my position has consistently been "attack social democrats first and foremost!" However, the Leftists have generally become social democrats, so I have merely "converted" to the fascist position of "attack the Leftists first and foremost!"
		I remember that Dr. Nishibe Susumu was once also called a "turncoat!" on a TV program, and he replied, "I have been consistently fighting against the Japanese Communist Party".
	9	Maybe it is because the news related to next year's Tokyo gubernatorial election is increasing, I often hear and read things like, "Please run for governor again. There's no way I will run. Or rather, even if I don't run, why don't I just write "Toyama Koichi" and vote for me? In the first place, you don't have to go to the polls.
		In principle, it is correct not to go to the polls; it is also just barely correct to write "Toyama Koichi" and vote no matter what election is held after 2007.
		"Democracy, and thus the bourgeois system, must be brought to its knees, trampled on, and laughed off. To elect the representatives, to mediate power, to form a majority, to make compromises, to make deals, to persuade. Fascism exists as an evasion of all such bothersome things". (by Fukuda Kazuya)
		In retrospect, the smokers' defeat began when we compromised and accepted the "separate smoking and non-smoking" because it sounded like a reasonable demand, and we thought it was unavoidable. Knowing what the world has become, we should have refused to listen to them at that point and rejected unreasonably their demands.
	15	I saw a performance by Mr. Hanaue Naoto. As is the case with "Dokungo Theater", the real pleasure of avant-garde art is to do something very trivial with all their energy while getting very sweaty.
	15	At the present stage, people on the right in particular seem to lack sensitivity to avant-garde art. As Mishima Yukio had a very close relationship with the avant-garde art of his time, I hope that those on the anti-establishment right who respect Mishima will also inherit the sensibility to the avant-garde art from him.
	22	To describe in a few words the essence of Japanese "new music" of the 80s, which the radical subcultural movement considered one of their virtual enemies at the time, would be "narcissistic self-dramatization".
	22	Everything has exceptions, and "narcissistic self-dramatization" is almost always ugly, but there are rare cases, such as Nakajima Miyuki's, when it is done thoroughly and plunges into another dimension and becomes something amazing.
	24	The emergency exchange meeting with Mr. Matsumoto Hajime, the leader of the "Amateur Revolt" in Tokyo, who showed up unexpectedly last night, was a success with several students and former students of my "revolutionary training-school". The "two big guns" in our area, both writers of the new magazine "Derukui" I am currently editing, Mr. Fujimura Osamu (a fanatic Emperorist who even says he does not care what happens to Japan as long as the Emperor's family is in peace) and Mr. Ono Toshihiko (the former leader of the permanent part-timer union Fukuoka) also attended it.
	28	I don't usually watch the news and am out of touch with what's going on in the world, so I decided to at least record and watch NHK's "News Highlights" at the end of the year. And I watched it. It was more impressive than the news content, the way production put mediocre and unimportant "viewers' voices" in front of the program. Even 10 years ago, it was not as bad as this.
	28	I usually don't watch the news much because I am fed up with the over-emotional reporting and find it hard to watch. As a result, I lose all sense of what is happening in the world today, which is very annoying.
