Labor-Farmer Party - Rounoutou

Japanese: 労農党 - ろうのうとう

(1) Abbreviation for Labor and Farmer Party. Founded in 1926 after the ban on Farmer-Labor Party associations. At first, the right wing of the Japan Labor Federation took the lead. Later, the left wing made a comeback, and thereafter Oyama Ikuo was chosen as chairman. The party effectively fought under the leadership of the Japanese Communist Party, with two members elected in the 1928 general election. It was dealt a blow by the March 15 Incident and dissolved. (2) Abbreviation for the Labor and Farmer Party, a left-wing proletarian party that held only its founding convention in 1928. After the dissolution of the Labor and Farmer Party, Oyama Ikuo and others started preparations for a new party, but the labor-farmer faction withdrew, and the Japanese Communist Party, which initially supported the preparations, suddenly changed its stance and led to the dissolution of the founding convention. It was later renamed the Labor-Farmer Alliance for Political Freedom. (3) Founded in 1929 after the April 16 Incident, Oyama Ikuo and others overcame the opposition of the Japanese Communist Party. The party's influence declined due to conflicts with the Communist Party, and it merged with the National Labor-Farmer Masses Party in 1931. (4) A small political party formed by leftists including Kuroda Hisao and Kimura Kihachiro who left the Japan Socialist Party in 1948. It advocated the establishment of a revolutionary democratic government through peaceful means. It was dissolved in 1957 and rejoined the Socialist Party.
