Bring peace to the Middle East! 31: chain of retaliation 1 : in the end




*1

We looked at some assassinations, terrorism and the background till now.
From now on, we examine a chain of retaliation taking place in the Middle East, such as massacre repeated.
This time, I explain the final stage that a society arrives at when assassinations and terrorism rage, through the history. 


What there is in the end of assassinations and terrorism?
Looking around the world, the assassinations and terrorism were a desperate resistance of weak group, or an initial state of revolution.
Even the American constitution predicates a citizen fights with a weapon.

The situation starts with assassinating a influential person or a leader of an opposition group, but will invite a chain of genocide and the retaliation adversely.
Thus, massacre and violence spread, and more terrible tragedy will attack the society.

I explain the examples.

In the case of Japan
Rightly, the situation were same as 1920s and 1930s in Japan. (annotation 2)

In those days, the extensive people's movement had happened, so the government ruled by local military groups by central figures of the Meiji Restoration was finished, and party politics began to move for the first time.

However, the unripe government was attacked by the growing disparity caused by a military-first policy, several depressions, and an aftermath of the Communist Party revolution.
The domestic situation became turbulent, the protest movement became harsh, and the government began to oppress it by the military and police.
At last, the assassination of a leading figure continued by young officers or right wing and the society was unified.
Thus, Japan became a complete military affairs autocracy again.

In the background, there was an important change that the Japanese society became affirmative for war and violence, while the Japanese military had steadily advanced an invasion in the continent for preparing for a potential threat from imperialism Great Powers, Europe and America, or Russia.

In the case of Germany
The situation were same as 1920s and 1930s at the birth of Nazi government. (annotation 3)

The society and the economy got into the worst situation by suffering the aftereffects of the World War I.
The people lost sight of the future of own country, and various policy opinions (including socialism and communism) were in conflict.
At first, they were aimed at a socialist state, but the military authorities having taken a place in the World War I came to rule the politics before long.

The unemployment rate became 30%, so the young men who lost a job formed radicals group and repeated fighting in city and each place.
Nearly 100 people died only for one month in Prussia, and the injured person surpassed 1,000 people.
Under such circumstances, an violence revolution attempt that Hitler participated in in Munich occurred.
They attacked the capital of Prussia by weapon of the military authorities and aimed at to usurp political power.
The people felt hopeful about the proposal of Hitler, the revival of empire,  the nationalism (anti-emigrant and anti-Semitism), and the totalitarianism (fascism).

After this, the Nazi that Hitler led was received enthusiastically by people, and a dictatorial regime was born.

What was taking place there?
These two examples have a certain thing in common.
Firstly these societies deepened confusion and stagnation, and the demonstration for reform and dissatisfaction escalated into violence cases.
As a result, the people wanted to quiet the confusion and clung to a stronger power to step forward powerfully.
And two fascism shook the world.
But it doesn’t always occur on the end of the confusion of the assassination and terrorism.

An important thing is to create more powerful military power finally, even if the violence was a small blow at first.
One of these may be Islamic nation (ISIL).

Unfortunately the power having the powerful armaments often becomes tyrannous, and it becomes the thing unlike the hope of the people.
I can say the reason is "It takes a thief to catch a thief."






*5

Thing we must not overlook
In either case, a violence produces many violence, and people will be trained to accept abnormal circumstance before long.

In the Middle East, the family is subjected to violence and killed, the town is destroyed, people suffer a difficult life even to live, and such a state continues for half a century.
Will the children grow up in a normal way?
The dilapidation of people's mind is imperative.
Where does the future of this society go toward?

This continues the next time.

日本とドイツは、社会の混乱時に独裁者を求める傾向が世界で最も強い。
これはエマニエル・トッドが指摘するように、両国が直系家族の文化だからです。
この文化は、遺産分配や兄弟関係の有り様から、「権威と不平等」を受け入れます。
したがって、中国、ロシア、中東またはフランス、米国では異なった反応が起こるでしょう。
