It’s sad that Japanese left-wing forces are dying. JCP is a respectable left-wing party with glorious history but young people just ignore them. Even liberal CDP are lagging behind among young people. Japanese youth are more interested in bashing foreigners and voting in crazies from Sanseito. I guess side effects of social media.

I think left wing is more of a boomer thing in Japan.
I think the Anpo movement was sort of the peak before the long ignominious decline.
That generation and the one near it is dying off.
