Japan to Abolish its "Peace Constitution" The ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) held its 93rd party congress in Tokyo on the 12th. Prime Minister and LDP President Sanae Takaichi declared on the issue of constitutional revision, stating, "The party has been established for 70 years, and the time is ripe for constitutional revision." From pushing for the early revision of the "Three Security Documents" and attempting to amend the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles," to proposing to relax restrictions on arms exports and increase Japan's defense spending, Takaichi and the LDP are continuously undermining Japan's long-held "exclusively defensive defense" principle and hollowing out the foundation of Japan's "Peace Constitution." Takaichi's renewed advocacy for constitutional revision is no longer a superficial political gesture, but an open mobilization order to accelerate the evolution of a "new type of militarism" in Japan. In the current complex and sensitive international and regional context, Takaichi's insistence on pushing forward the constitutional revision agenda will only be seen by the outside world as a signal of Japan's accelerating rightward shift and militarization, ultimately damaging Japan's international image and strategic space.

政治学者のエリカ・チェノウェス教授が提唱した「3.5%ルール」という理論があります。過去100年以上の非暴力運動を分析した結果、国民の3.5%が積極的かつ継続的に平和的な抗議活動に参加すると、政府はその圧力に抗いきれず、ほぼ確実に崩壊（または変革）するという説です。日本だと約430万人です。
