Nemawashi - a guide to the Nifonese political ideology!

[Zhouran]

Nemawashi is not really any sort of guiding abstract orthodoxy in Nifonese society, but rather a set of guidelines of how social relations should be conducted, how the government should be ran, etc. etc. It is never to be taken absolutely and is virtually always open to individual interpretation.

Would it be accurate to say that Nemawashi is a socio-political doctrine than an ideology?

What is the Nemawashist view on utopian communities such as Phalanstéres etc.?

Hated, in general; viewed as Utopian.

Fully; Nifonese in general tend to be more pragmatic than ideological.

Through the eyes of a Nemawashist, how does one view Dušekism, which, compressed in a TL;DR would be described as a third positionist ecofascist ultranationalist ideology?

Ecofascism and socialism lack virtue.

Ecofascism and socialism lack virtue.

What would the Nemawashi definition of "virtue" be then if fascism and third-position ideologies lacks such?

While Nemawashi itself is anti-socialist and strongly free-market (kinda reminds me of Pinochetism), wouldn't it be more helpful to side with the third-positionists since technically both would have a common foe (Marxists). Sure, in terms of economics there is a massive difference, but socially and politically both have similar ideas.

Except of course Nemawashi itself strongly believes in "exporting democracy worldwide", which would definitely expand the already-massive divide between Nemawashi and Third Position.

You are actually wrong considering that Nemawashi itself is actually anti-democratic. It rather tries to reach "virtuous government" that is based on harmony of all three sovereignty. In NIfon it reached the state of a neofeudal system in which Kojiro's Confucian-like meritocratic government appointed on basis of exams including both Nifonese cultural classics (such as the Bible, Jinshin Monogatari or The Analects of Emperor Kogyoku) and practical efficiency in governance cooperates with provincial direct democratic parliaments. Imperial Diet has been reduced to voicing either approval or disapproval on Kojiro's projects, but has virtually no political power on it's own. At the same time, the central government rarely intervenes in provincial affairs; the lower administrative unit, the more direct democracy is. That way the people always have their voice heard, and government's power is always limited - while Kojiro retains a chance to run his government as he sees fit.

Liberal democracy is to Kojirist as big blasphemy as communism or nazism but due to being less invasive, can be tolerated abroad.

Kojiro views fascism as too focused on worship of man and the state rather than treating the state as organic whole (he was kind of inspired by Mozi here).

Here you are actually right . Third positioning are far less evil in the eyes of Kojirists. Not to mention that Kojiro has certain dose of Park Chung Hee in him .

I can kinda understand, although I strongly prefer worship of man (heroic realism), the state (national cohesion) and also the environment (conservation of natural beauty over artificial materialism) for the sake of instilling national pride and promoting cultural and national identity, social cohesion & stability, and preserving the environment of one's homeland. However, I do strongly oppose totalitarian autocratic dictatorships and expansionist aggression since it not only harms the people of the nation, but also those of other nations and their sovereign rights. It's why I prefer semi-isolationist national-syndicalism.

Anyway, what is the Nemawashi view on consumerism, materialism, and crony capitalism?
