Chapter 11: Cai Cai Zi's Coffee Shop (1) Repair

  "Why should we abandon capitalism? Are you afraid that the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism will corrupt your faith? You are wrong, what can corrupt faith is only your own heart! Moreover, you should know that capitalist society has a history of nearly 400 years, and in all fields, whether politics, economy, culture or others, the development of capitalist society has reached the peak of human development history! So why develop socialism? This question doesn't need me to explain it, does it? Capitalist society has its inherent, irreconcilable contradictions, and when it reaches the peak in all fields, human society needs another large container to hold the new society that surpasses the peak, and this container is what you are pursuing - socialism! However, you should note that this container is built on the foundation of capitalism, and is more advanced than capitalism. This requires the new container to absorb the essence of capitalism while rejecting its dross. What is the essence? All valuable capitalist civilization achievements that are beneficial to the growth of socialism are the essence!"

  ……

  "Does representing the interests of the working class mean only representing the working class? In 1987, the proportion of workers in Japan exceeded 77%, which is true. However, this also means that the Japanese Communist Party must still adhere to taking the working class as its foundation, but what about the remaining nearly 23% of business owners, petty bourgeoisie, and peasants? Under the capitalist system, it is not only the working class that suffers from the harm of profit-firstism, but the entire society. To transcend capitalism and move forward to a new society means to liberate humanity, first those who are deeply exploited by capitalism, and then those who are exploited in various forms, with the goal of creating a truly valuable and free human society. This is consistent with the interests of all Japanese citizens, at least the majority, so it is necessary to unite all forces that can be united!"

  ……

  "Abolish the Emperor? The existence of the imperial system is determined by the Constitution, and the Japanese Communist Party is a party that firmly upholds the Constitution! This in itself is unreasonable! You are all Japanese, older than me, and should be clear about the history and status of the Emperor in Japan! Have you read "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki"? Do you know the records of the Emperor in these two historical books? These are clearly not historical books, but myths. How high do you think the reverence for the Emperor will reach among Japanese citizens after decades or even hundreds of years of indoctrination with such myths? Therefore, under current circumstances, the Japanese Communist Party should not take a hardline stance on whether to abolish the imperial system. If you really want to abolish the Emperor, first, you must seek the consent of the Japanese people, and second, uncover the mysterious halo surrounding the Emperor!"

  ……

  "At the current stage, first, we must continue to strengthen party theoretical construction, which is a fundamental aspect of a political party and cannot be relaxed; second, implement soft-line and smiling-line policies, strengthening connections with all aspects, only with a strong mass foundation can the party's development be smooth sailing; third, increase flexible participation and work intensity on social issues that are widely concerning Japanese citizens, such as consumption tax issues, medical insurance system reform issues, labor employment issues, Japan-US security issues, Self-Defense Force issues, etc.; fourth, oppose all forms of terrorist activities, especially the new hegemonism led by the United States, the Gulf crisis is brewing, and in this new era, Japan cannot become a lapdog of the US, and the Far East war flames cannot be used as an excuse for Japan to send troops!"

  ……

  "Japan has its own national conditions, and the Japanese Communist Party needs to start from Japan's national conditions and follow a socialist path with Japanese characteristics, rather than blindly copying the Soviet Union and China. On this point, Notaro can learn from China, whose leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping have great foresight.

  The construction of a political party must always revolve around the people, maintain contact with the people, listen to their opinions, and strengthen ties with other parties, whether in opposition or in power. A Chinese leader once said that no matter if it's a black cat or white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat.

  The Social Democratic Party, Komeito, and even the Democratic Party within the Liberal Democratic Party - at this stage, these parties that implement democratic principles and adhere to the middle road will all be helpful to the Japanese Communist Party. While strengthening ties with these parties, the Japanese Communist Party must keep its head clear, uphold its own principles, viewpoints, and stance.

  For our allies, we should provide warmth like spring; for our enemies, while resolutely striking them, we should also use divisive tactics. Only in this way can the Japanese Communist Party ultimately achieve victory in future party struggles!"

  ……

  Jerry himself did not know the shocking power of his words! In 1976, at the 13th National Congress of the Japanese Communist Party, Miyamoto Kenji abandoned the stereotypical communist doctrine and made a flexible reform for the first time, deleting the phrase "dictatorship of the proletariat" from the party constitution and passing the "Declaration of Freedom and Democracy". While advocating "scientific socialism", it excluded the interference of ultra-leftist thoughts and sought to achieve a peaceful revolutionary line centered on parliamentary struggle. In 1987, the Japanese Communist Party was still in the era of crossing the river by feeling the stones, Jerry's words were like a heavy bomb, exploding among the high-level leaders of the Japanese Communist Party!

  ……

  "Excuse me, Comrade Jerry, does your statement mean a complete abandonment of class struggle?"

  "No, it is both unity and struggle!"

  "Unite and struggle?"

  "Yes! Whether it's the Socialist Party, Komeito or the Democratic Party, they have their own development paths that conform to Japan's national conditions, but at the same time, there are also many drawbacks. While adhering to the five progressive principles of national sovereignty and democracy, permanent peace, basic human rights, parliamentary democracy, and local autonomy, the Japanese Communist Party must be vigilant against the counterattack forces from conservative factions, especially the right-wing, who have plunged the Japanese people into a predicament, destroyed domestic and international peace, and undermined international social unity. We must resolutely fight to the end against these militarist elements, including their foolish acts of visiting Yasukuni Shrine and revising history!"

  ……

  "What's your take on the Japan-US Security Treaty and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, Jerry?"

  "The 1951 US-Japan Security Treaty had its historical inevitability, post-war Japan needed to revitalize the Japanese economy and required US assistance. However, this cannot be at the expense of Japan's independence and sovereignty.

  The revised US-Japan Security Treaty in 1960, although nominally placing both countries on an equal footing, you all know that the new treaty is hostile towards the Soviet Union, China, and other Asian nations, putting Japan at risk of being drawn into US military actions. The wounds of World War II have not yet fully healed in Asia, and the US has placed Japan on the firing line.

  From 1959 to 1960, Japanese citizens conducted 23 nationwide unified actions against the revision of the US-Japan Security Treaty, an unprecedented event in Japanese history. The Japanese Communist Party must recognize that when it comes to the people's vital interests, their eyes are always bright!

  Another point is that Okinawa and the Diaoyu Islands will forever belong to China, this is a sacred and inviolable principle. This is one of the most serious mistakes committed by Japan and the US under the new treaty.

  As for the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, you know that they are unconstitutional. However, there is one point that needs to be explained: national sovereignty requires military machinery to maintain its dignity, on the condition that it does not infringe upon other countries' legitimate rights!"

  ……

  "So, Jerry, are you interested in joining the party?"

  "Join the party? Japanese Communist Party? Sorry, I'm only seven years old!"

  "It doesn't matter at all! The development path can be flexibly changed, and party policies can also be flexibly applied, right?"

  "Sorry, I'm not interested in this. Besides, you should know that actually, I don't understand politics!"

  ……

  Oh, shit! I didn't expect the old guys from the Japanese Communist Party to be so passionate! Luckily, I read Mao's and Deng's works on the Three Represents and Scientific Development Concept back in the day, or else I wouldn't have known how to deal with these guys' crazy bombardment! Jerry wiped his forehead with a bit of fear and shook off a cold sweat.

  "Jerry-kun~!" Koshi Bitou called out from behind, "Wait up, Jerry-kun!"

  No choice, can't just see him chasing over and turn around to run away with your tail between your legs, after all San Sheng Tang and Youth IC have a very friendly cooperative relationship!

  "Is there anything else, Your Excellency?"

  "After the old secretary's instructions and a brief discussion by the Party Central Committee, we would like to invite you to serve as an honorary advisor to the Japanese Communist Party. Please don't decline!"

  Unbelievable!

  "Is this, Zhiwei Jun, isn't it too much for someone?"

  "No, Comrade Jerry, we are all clear that your theoretical research has nothing to do with your age, you are fully capable of taking on this role, and we will guarantee the confidentiality of your identity! The Japanese Communist Party needs progress, it needs development, and it cannot be separated from the guidance of advanced theory. Your explanation today has made both me and Comrade Tetsu see the hope for the revival of the Japanese Communist Party, please!"

  It's utterly unbelievable that a political party with nearly 100,000 members would need to appoint a kid under the age of eight as an advisor, has this party really sunk so low?

  If it were in the past, Zhiwei and Fu would have thrown away their party badges without hesitation, but today, he believed in something called a miracle!

  "I still think it's too hasty, Cai Cai Zi, what do you think?"

  "I think... maybe, Jerry can try! I always thought the Japanese Communist Party was a violent and bloody party, but today I found out that the Japanese Communist Party might be a good political party after all! The people of Japan need a party with advanced ideas to guide them forward, not those who refuse to face history and only deceive themselves. My father is still feeling guilty about my uncle's death! If it wasn't for sending troops to the Pacific, if my uncle hadn't taken my father's place, maybe everything would be different now! He has been feeling guilty all these years!"

  "Alright alright, I'll try my best then! But let me declare one thing first, Zhìwèi, I really don't understand politics!"

  "No, Jerry, you understand!"

  "Alright, alright!" Jerry turned around just as he was about to leave, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh yeah, Zhīwèi Jun, have the party members keep an eye on a guy named Má Yuánzhāng Huǎng."

  "Is it Asaoka Akira?"

  "Yes. This guy two years ago published a 'Floating Divine Power Diagram' in a magazine, last year he published 'The Secret Development Method of Superhuman Abilities', and this year he went to the Himalayas and created a sect called Aum Shinrikyo! I can tell you clearly that the so-called Floating Divine Power Diagram and The Secret Development Method of Superhuman Abilities are all fake, his so-called precognitive abilities and mysterious powers obtained through cultivation are all deceitful tricks! Believe me, this is an evil cult! Let party members investigate this guy's past! The Japanese Communist Party can take the opportunity to eliminate Aum Shinrikyo and re-establish its image in the hearts of the Japanese people!"

  "I'll get someone on it right away. And Jerry, you really know your politics!"

  Until today, Shi Wei and Fu discovered that other organizations including Mitsui and the Yamaguchi-gumi were all wrong, and they were wrong to a ridiculous degree. If it weren't for today, even the Japanese Communist Party would have been deceived.

  That thing that's always shining is actually the little guy next to Tanaka Nana-chan!
