A new foreign policy doctrine was recently announced in the Empire of Greater Nifon. How will the international community react?
Tokugawa's Official Foreign Policy Directive #114:
This directive has been created by his excellency Kojiro-sama, Shogun of the Empire of Greater Nifon, the minister of External affairs, Tokugawa Asuka and Marshall Fujita Kenji of the Imperial Nifonese army, to be freely published in the media. It will be from now on a direct code of following for the foreign policy of the Empire of Greater Nifon.
In general, this doctrine has been formed as an answer to an ever growing problem of globalist demoliberalism, which has been a dominant ideology in multiple states, especially those coming from Latin cultural sphere, for the time period of last several decades. It is a gaijin ideology completely alien to the Empire of Greater Nifon, it's people and culture. The fact, however, that something is different from us is not a sufficient reason for condemnation no matter how big those differences are. At the same time, however, the course of human history shown countless and unending period of warfare unleashed by the minpon; their complete lack of tolerance for any creed or belief not in league with theirs; their hatred for any difference; their desire to push us all into one gray morass with no identity other than the self and unending willigness to use violence to achieve that goal. In order thus to counteract that violent ideology, the Empire of Greater Nifon announces that the "Tokugawa Doctrine" shall become an official foreign policy directive.
Part 1: Definition of the demoliberal ideology
- Demoliberalism (alternatively called "liberal democracy" or sometimes "political correctness") is therefore, for purpose of this document, defined as the ideology which, unlike fascism (which puts emphasis on the state) or communism (emphasis on class) or nazism (emphasis on race) puts emphasis on one's self, which in such ideology becomes the ultimate level of measurement.
- A demoliberal, unlike classical liberal, believes that the state has a duty to provide freedom for the individual "from poverty", which results usually in, contrary to classical liberals, excessive state intervention in the market structure. On economic area, demoliberalism often couples with various forms of socialism.
- Demoliberal view of history is of special concern. Like Marx, this worldview is despondent from Hegel. It is a belief that the human history is a constant march towards perfection, and that at one point a perfect system where prosperity will be abundant will be created. This progress is unilateral - every force that is contrary to the demoliberal thought will be in near future inventively destroyed.
- The change to the "End of History" that has been defined by Francis Fukuyama does not, however, come on it's own. This change will come through a series of activists and enlightened rulers whose task will be to prepare the humanity, until now backwards, regressive, apathic and ignorant, for the glorious new liberal world that will come after the end of history.
- The demoliberal ideology accepted the belief that people's believes and actions are determined by their socio-economic conditions. Thus, according to Marxist thinkers such as Gramsci, Marcuse, Luckacs or Adorno, it has divided people on basis of their gender identity, skin color, etc. into oppressors and the oppressed. Thus in thought of a modern day demoliberal, a woman, a black skinned person or a hentai deviant will always be "oppressed" by the evil patriarchal male. No matter of their virtue or personal traits, depending on socio economic conditions of man, he will always be good or evil just because of what he is.
- Just like other two great totalitarianisms, the minpon aims directly at creation of a "new man" free from any moral, religious, and philosophical convictions. It hates memory and tradition which it designates as "superstition" to be carefully destroyed through institutionalized action and oppression in form of "hate speech" laws and other measures to discriminate against the people it does not accept.
Part 2: Threats to Nifonese national interests
- The Empire of Greater Nifon wishes for existence of international harmony between nations based on principles of virtuous conduct. However, it can not tolerate threats to it's existence posed by aggressive internationalist ideologies of fascism, communism or demoliberalism.
- Because of belief in inevitability of liberal victory, the Nifonese believes, tradition and culture founded on teachings of the sages or the Lord of Heaven are considered "backwards" or "feudal". The Nifonese are therefore seen as barbaric people inferior culturally to the liberal cultures, who are in dire need of "civilization" in order to become part of the "world community" - which can not be built until the Nifonese culture has been erased.
- Use of force by demoliberal organizations and governments in order to propagate their ideology is especially reckless, as was evidenced by experiences of the New Edomite governments and the constant pressures through use of multiple measures, including sanctions, violence, invasions and terrorism, to accept the demands of the minpon.
- Very often special interest groups tend to be employed by those having this ideology employ sophisticated tactics, techniques and procedures of hybrid, information and cyberwarfare aiming at erosion of social cohesion, government's ability to function and taking power disguised as peaceful protests.
- In such case, the risk of military aggression against the Empire of Greater Nifon or it's allies and interests is extremely high.
- Demoliberal values and believes actively undermine the basis of Nifonese society: virtue, family, the five relationships, wisdom, loyalty, filial piety, social harmony and hierarchy. Should those teachings be allowed to spread, not only the Bakufu will be threatened, but also the Nifonese society will take heavy toll and loose it's greatness. Our culture shall be trampled underfoot, churches destroyed, and wisdom of the sages spat upon.
Part 3: Recommendations
- Because of the demoliberal threat against the Nifonese interests, an action is to be taken.
- The Empire of Greater Nifon will provide aid including financial and military support, to the nations and organizations that in virtuous manner benefiting a true samurai wage war against the demoliberal threat. Any nation adhering to virtue that requests such an aid shall not be denied.
- The Empire of Greater Nifon will take all steps it deems necessary to ensure that allied conservative, nationalist, tenrigakist, tanzist, Kirishitan, reactionary, etc. governments will remain in power as long as their conduct is necessary or their fall is too threatening to the Nifonese interests by all means Kojiro-sama deems necessary, including use of lethal force.
- An act of color revolution against an allied anti-demoliberal government will be treated as an act of aggression and responded appropriately to the situation, including use of force to keep the government in power.
- International demo-liberal NGOs that are known for promoting a destructive agenda that destroys social harmony in the Empire of Greater Nifon are to be expelled, their properties seized without confiscation and leadership expelled without right to return. Gunpeitai shall monitor all their operations and take all steps necessary for preservation of security of the Nifonese state.
Part 4: Considerations
- This doctrine DOES NOT apply to liberal governments who reject all forms of violence and wish to spread their message by peaceful means OR to liberal governments that do not wish to spread their government's ideology. The shogunate understands that while there are many elements differing the Nifonese from them, a violence in the name of those ideas is despicable and shall not be practiced by the Nifonese.
- Nations which practice unvirtous conduct, harm the innocents or engage in other immoral actions shall not receive support from the Empire of Greater Nifon.
