Extreme autism:

Yes killing commies is based and ebin but the assassination of Asanuma by Yamaguchi was the Japanese nationalists playing themselves.

Asanuma was not a member of the communist party, but the socialist one. Many of these parties dreamed of being free from the US and it’s black marine rapists. The Japanese Socialist Party was an uneasy alliance between the left (Maoists) and right wing socialists (Nationalists), barely held together by Asanuma’s charisma. When Yamaguchi assassinated him the JSP lost all their momentum from the riots that were ongoing at the time.

As awesome as that photo is, it also sentenced Japan to forever being the US’s bitch. I think many see that photo and project their own hopes onto it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Nigga duck.
