Suzuki Mosaburō was a Japanese socialist politician. He was born into a family descended from a line of hatamoto (samurai retainers), but his family had long since fallen into poverty and obscurity when he was born. He became a journalist, and in 1918 when Japan invaded Soviet Russia he was sent there as a war correspondent. What he witnessed in Russia caused him to become sympathetic to socialism and an opponent of Japanese militarism and war in general. After the war he visited the Soviet Union several times and became inspired by the achievements of Soviet socialism. In the late 1920s he quit journalism to devote himself full-time to politics. He was active in several left-wing working-class parties in the late 1920s/early 1930s (the Japanese left was very unstable in that time), but was finally banned from politics in 1937 when Japan’s fascist government cracked down on all left-wing political activity in the “Popular Front Incident”. He spent the war years quietly working as manager of a bookstore. After WWII ended and Japan’s fascist regime fell, Suzuki returned to politics and joined the newly formed Japan Socialist Party. He soon became leader of the party. Through the 1950s he was a tireless opponent of militarism and a leader of the anti-rearmament movement which opposed the US-backed right-wing Yoshida government’s attempts to rebuild the Japanese military. Suzuki famously declared “青年よ再び銃をとるな！” (“Young men, do not take up arms again!”), which became a popular slogan of the anti-rearmament movement throughout the 1950s. He advocated a robust social welfare system, was a strong supporter of organized labor and workers’ rights, promoted women’s rights, staunchly opposed the US military presence in Japan and Japan’s role as a puppet of the US in the Cold War, and advocated friendship with the socialist countries of the world. He stepped down as party chairman in 1960, but continued to be active in the party until retiring from politics in 1967. He died in 1970.
