Motoyuki Takabatake
Edit Profile高畠素之
Politics
During the Russian Revolution, however, he began to reconsider his support of socialism. While Japanese Marxists saw the state in Soviet-Russia as a temporary and necessary evil needed to construct socialism, Takabatake welcomed the revolution precisely because it would lead to a strong centralized state. This led to a break between him and other Japanese Marxists, with Takabatake becoming one of the first theoreticians of national socialism in Japan.
