Doesn’t seem that keen on unity to me.

> Arrested on 16 February 1972, Nagata was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for her participation in the killings. While awaiting execution, Nagata died from brain cancer on 5 February 2011 at the Tokyo Detention House.

You know when there's something at the bottom of your to-do list, and you just keep putting it off? Like, are really really long time? It's kind of like that, but with executing a murderous terrorist.

Jesus, beatings and exposure to winter temperatures. That's not a good way to go.

Is this the anti-japanese-ists?

To be fair on that last one, Hiroko Nagata, the group's leader had a son named "Myn-ose," and became incensed when one of her soldiers asked for a tissue and said "I need to blow my nose."

“We sentence you to death… by old age”

Imagine getting so invested into your after-school commie LARP club, that you end up thinking that you need to murder 12 other members because they're not dedicated enough

That's the issue with death sentences, there's so much bureaucracy from appeal hearings and making damn well sure that you're not about to kill someone innocent (and thus incur millions in damages from justifiably getting sued by the grieving family), that it's just so much cheaper to just feed, clothe, and house them in a prison until they die.

Actually cackled

To be fair the Japanese aren't really big on punishing their own war criminals.

Which is funny because here in the US there’s still a massive bureaucracy that takes decades and we somehow constantly execute innocent people

> The United Red Army had 29 members and lost 14 due to killings in less than a year.

Always the commies first move is purge.

Communists are always the worst because they don't believe individuals have any rights. The greater "good" matters but individuals are to be used in anyway that is convenient, often ground up in the machine.

Less than 30 people in your group, and you decide to purge half…

Not a great long term strategy imo.

It's normally easiest to just disappear them into the prisons, executing them causes headlines.

Usually they get to the takeover part BEFORE the killing everyone part.

Thought this was good

Isn’t this the backstory to some manga - train a group together than test them by having one half kill the other half? Wonder if this was the inspiration.

>constantly execute innocent people

Almost always because of racial prejudice speeding up the process.

Capitalists are always the worst because they don't believe workers have any rights. The greater "profit" matters but individuals are to be used in anyway that is convenient, often ground up in the machine.

That sounds like it would make a good manga / anime / movie! Similar vein to Battle Royale
