    最近は忙しくて時間があまりなかったので、先日の続きを書く時間はなかなか確保できないでいましたが、今日は時間が少し余っているので書いてみたいと思います。 今回の話題は極左団体を取り上げたアベマプライムの放送です。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKdIAtlHuak 番組を見てから時間が経っていますが思い出せる範囲で感想を書いてみたいと思います。 [b]「矢嶋派」について[/b] まずこの令和の日本に存在する極左団体は聞いたことがなかったので、その話を聞くのはとても面白かったです。 まずその団体名、「全学連(矢嶋派)」から色々お察しできます。 左翼の悪いところの一つは、より「純粋」な思想を求め、内紛を起こしてどんどん派閥化してしまうところだと思います。 とても興味深い現象です。なぜそうなるのでしょうね… あと、前の投稿にも書きましたが、この団体に一番賛同できないのは言うまでもなく、暴力の支持です。 平和や労働者を大義名分にしているなら、民意で選ばれたリーダーを暴力で転覆しようとするのは論外のはずです…😅 その方法では平和が訪れるわけがないし、労働者の皆さんにとっても良い迷惑です。 理屈を付けてあらゆる悪行を正当化しようとする姿勢は反社会的ですし、過激的な政治団体の怖いところだなと改めて思いました。 とはいえ、この矢嶋派はスターリンなどを否定しているようなので海外の極左よりはまともかもしれません。 [b]左派運動の激化について[/b] ここまで読むとこんな変な団体を取り上げる意義は一体どこにあるのかと思われるでしょう。 確かに矢嶋派というような団体への支持は皆無ですし、過激なことを掲げているといっても、実現する能力と意思がないように見受けられます。 一方全世界を見ると近年、似たような思想がますます流行しているように感じます。 例えばアメリカでは少数ではありますが、一部のいわゆる「意識高い系」左派の間では、暴動行為や政敵への暴力など、犯罪を容認するような発言が目立ちます。 最近見た例では、ある人気左翼インフルエンサーが「大金持ちは金融犯罪を犯しても捕まらないから、お金がない人は万引きをしても問題ない」という趣旨の発言をして多くの共鳴を呼びました… しかし、今のアメリカでは権力を握って問題を起こしているのは左翼ではなく、右翼の方であるのは間違いないです。 ただ、野党の民主党がトランプ大統領任期終了後にトランプ主義に対抗できる候補を出したいと考えているのであれば、この極左主義の流行に直面する必要があります。 無視していては決してなくならない問題だと思います。そして他の国では似ているような状況を抱えているのでしょう。 だから私は個人的に左翼の動向に大きな関心があります。 日本は極左思想が全く流行りそうにないのですが、過去にはあさま山荘事件、爆弾テロなどの痛ましい出来事がありました。 極左運動あれからどう変わったかを報道するのは大いに意味があると思うし、二度と同じような悲劇が繰り返されないためにも必要かもしれません。 [b]過激なゲストを招く番組のあるべき姿とは?[/b] 一視聴者として、アベマの番組構成について書いてみたいと思います。 過激な運動家をゲストとして迎えるのはとても難しいことだと思います。 好きなだけ喋らせるとその人の宣伝になりかねないとはいえ、番組側が一方的に批判しても視聴者の理解が深まらないと思います。 私は番組側に対しては、過激な相手に対立姿勢を取らず、鋭い質問を聞くことによってその人の考えの欠点などを明らかにしてほしいと思います。 今回のアベマプライムの番組はそういう意味でよくできたところもありますが、少し物足りないように感じたところもありました。 例えば、たくさんの出演者がいる中で、番組側が団体代表者をただ叱り付けているように見えた場面もありました。とはいえ、パックンや岩澤さんなどからは建設的な質問やコメントがありました。 多分アベマプライムのエースである平石直之アナウンサーがいたなら、もっとうまく議論を取り仕切っていたと思います。 [b]「矢嶋派」とデモの関係は?[/b] [b] [/b]もう一つ気になったのは「矢嶋派」と国会前で行われた高市反対デモとの関係です。 おそらくですが、多くのデモの参加者は暴力を支持しないし、「矢嶋派」という団体を知らないと思います。 ですから彼らがデモの代表であるかのように見せるのは疑問に思いました。 まあとにかく色々と考えさせられた回だったので、このように考えを巡らせ、その記録をNyan-8で残すことができてよかったです。😆 ちょっと中途半端でしたが、今日の投稿はここまでにしたいと思います。 いつもお読みいだだきありがとうございます。

    Recently, I’ve been busy and haven’t had much free time, so I wasn’t really able to set aside time to continue writing after my previous post. But today I have a little extra time, so I’d like to write some more. This time, I want to talk about an episode of Abema Prime that featured a far-left organization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKdIAtlHuak It’s been a while since I watched the program, but I’d like to write down my thoughts as best as I can remember them. [b]About the “Yajima Faction”[/b] First of all, I had never even heard of far-left organizations still existing in Reiwa-era Japan, so just hearing about them was very interesting. You can already infer quite a lot just from the organization’s name: “Zengakuren (Yajima Faction).” I think one of the bad tendencies of the political left is that they pursue ever more “pure” ideology, end up fighting internally, and gradually split into more and more factions. It’s a very interesting phenomenon. I wonder why that happens… Also, as I wrote in my previous post, the thing I absolutely cannot agree with about this group is, needless to say, its support for violence. If they claim peace and workers’ rights as their noble cause, then trying to overthrow democratically elected leaders through violence should obviously be out of the question… 😅 That approach is never going to bring peace, and it’s also a huge nuisance to ordinary workers. Their attitude of trying to justify every wrongdoing with ideological reasoning feels antisocial, and it once again reminded me how frightening extremist political organizations can be. That said, this Yajima faction apparently rejects figures like Stalin, so perhaps they are more reasonable than some far-left groups overseas. [b]The Radicalization of Left-Wing Movements [/b] At this point, some people might wonder what the point is in even covering such a strange organization. Certainly, groups like the Yajima faction have virtually no public support, and although they advocate extreme ideas, they don’t appear to have either the ability or the will to actually carry them out. However, looking at the world as a whole, I feel that similar kinds of ideology have been becoming increasingly popular in recent years. For example, in the United States, although still a minority, some members of the so-called “woke” left have made increasingly visible statements that appear to tolerate criminal acts, such as riots or violence against political opponents. One example I saw recently was a popular left-wing influencer who said something along the lines of: “Rich people commit financial crimes and never get punished, so there’s nothing wrong with poor people shoplifting.” The statement received a great deal of sympathy and support… Still, in today’s America, it is not the left but rather the right that currently holds power and is causing political turmoil. However, if the opposition Democratic Party hopes to produce a candidate capable of countering Trumpism after President Trump’s term ends, then it will eventually have to confront the growing popularity of this far-left ideology. I don’t think it’s a problem that will simply disappear if ignored. And many other countries are probably dealing with similar situations as well. That is why I personally take a strong interest in the direction of left-wing movements. Japan does not seem like a country where far-left ideology is likely to become popular at all, but in the past there were tragic incidents such as the Asama-Sanso incident and bombing attacks. I think there is great value in reporting on how far-left movements have changed since then, and it may even be necessary in order to prevent similar tragedies from ever happening again. [b]What Should Programs Featuring Extremist Guests Be Like?[/b] As an ordinary viewer, I’d also like to share my thoughts on how Abema structured the program. I think inviting radical activists onto a show is an extremely difficult thing to do. If you simply let them speak freely, the program risks becoming a platform for their propaganda. On the other hand, if the hosts only criticize them one-sidedly, viewers probably won’t gain much deeper understanding either. Personally, I would like programs to avoid simply taking an openly hostile stance toward extreme guests, and instead expose the flaws in their thinking by asking sharp and probing questions. In that sense, I think this episode of Abema Prime did some things very well, though there were also moments where it felt a little lacking. For example, with so many commentators on the panel, there were times when it looked as though the hosts were simply scolding the organization’s representative. That said, Pakkun and Ms. Iwasawa did make some constructive comments and asked meaningful questions. I also think that if Abema Prime’s ace announcer, Naoyuki Hiraishi, had been there, he probably would have moderated the discussion more skillfully. [b]What Is the Relationship Between the “Yajima Faction” and Demonstrations?[/b] Another thing that caught my attention was the relationship between the “Yajima faction” and the anti-Takaichi demonstrations held in front of the National Diet. My assumption is that most people participating in those protests do not support violence and probably have never even heard of the “Yajima faction.” That’s why I felt somewhat uneasy about portraying them as though they represented the demonstrations as a whole. Anyway, the episode gave me a lot to think about, so I’m glad I was able to reflect on these ideas and leave a record of them on Nyan-8. 😆 This post ended up being a little incomplete, but I think I’ll stop here for today. Thank you, as always, for reading.
