The New Socialist Party of Japan (新社会党, Shin Shakai-tō) is a left-wing political party in Japan founded on 3 March 1996 by a group of left-wingers who left the Social Democratic Party.[1][2]
The party's ideology is similar to that of the Japanese Communist Party, advocating socialism (including scientific socialism and Marxism), direct democracy, non-interventionism and pacifism.[3] The party hopes to start a "peaceful democratic revolution", and wants to enshrine pacifism and human rights in the Constitution of Japan. The party also opposes nuclear power, saying it could be used for nuclear weaponry in the future.[4]
