Rodong Sinmun Warns against Japanese Society's Lurch to Right
Pyongyang, May 12 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries should awaken from the nightmare of realizing their ambition for overseas expansion, clearly mindful that their society's lurch to the Right would lead Japan to ruin, warns Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a bylined article.

The Japanese ruling quarters are putting a group visit to Yasukuni Shrine on an official and regular basis and justifying it, the article says, and goes on:

Nearly 70 years have passed since Japan sustained a defeat in the war. Politicians of Japan are, however, thronging to the shrine to console the departed soul of the top-class war criminals and pray for "the soul of Yamato". This is nothing but a wriggling of a venomous serpent of militarism keen to militarize Japan and avenge its defeat in the war.

It is not without reason that Japanese society is rapidly veering to the Right. Steeped in the idea of denying history to the marrow of their bones, Japanese politicians are making confusion of people's thinking in a sly method to attain their sinister political aim.

That is why the Japanese government is working hard to set about the reexamination of the system of screening textbooks in real earnest.

The trend of the Japanese society's lurch to the Right strongly suggests that it is designed to implant the militarist idea into the minds of the younger generation and effectively use them for realizing the ambition for overseas aggression in the future.

It is the scenario of Japan to generalize the process of lurch to the Right in society, step up militarization and revive militarism in a bid to launch overseas expansion.
