Politics of Manchukuo - Political Parties and Movements

Political Parties and Movements

During his administration, the Kangde Emperor, in an interview with foreign journalists, mentioned his interest in forming a political party with Confucian doctrines. The Japanese "native" establishment, however, organized some right-wing and nationalist parties, in the Militarism-Socialism mould. Such movements, which had official status, were:

  • Concordia Association (State-sponsored political party)
  • Northeast Administrative Committee (Manchukuo nationalist local party)
  • Russian Fascist Organization (the White Russian fascist association in Manchukuo)
  • White Russian Fascist Party (later the Russian Fascist Party; White Russian anticommunist party in Manchukuo, used the swastika as symbol, guided by a Russian fascist "Duce")
  • Bureau for Russian Emigrants in Manchuria (BREM) led by General Vladimir Kislitsin
  • Monarquic Party (White Russian Tzarist Monarchic party with Japanese approval)
  • Betarim Jew Zionist Movement (Jewish rights movement in Manchukuo)
  • Far Eastern Jewish Council (Jewish Zionist council in Harbin, Manchukuo led by Dr. Abraham Kaufman, with Japanese Army support)

Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or movements:

    My father was a statesman, I’m a political woman. My father was a saint. I’m not.
    Indira Gandhi (1917–1984)

    A true Friendship is as wise as it is tender. The parties to it yield implicitly to the guidance of their love, and know no other law nor kindness.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connexion with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.
    Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
