The summit meeting of the US-North
Korea in Singapore on June 12 is near
imminent. Holding a meeting is a great
pleasure for people of all over the
world wishing for peace. From the
North Korea situation one year ago,
it is a remarkable progress.
Last year at the end of 2017, when
North Korea repeatedly launched a
ballistic missile launch experiment
and carried out the largest nuclear
test ever in history (September 3),
At this time, I think that Many
Westerners thought that “This
situation is similar to the Nazi
Germany on the eve of the Second
World War.”
However, the past Nazi Germany
and today’s North Korea have
a fundamental difference in their
underlying thought and purpose.
Nazi Germany’s purpose of
manufacturing weapons was
“To invade other countries to
achieve world domination.”.
On the other hand, the fundamental
purpose of North Korea’s nuclear
development is “Security of the
Korean Peninsula.”
Now, in order to clarify the
circumstances of Nazi Germany,
I will look back to the era just before
the Second World War.
In this era of the west, if a country
started manufacturing weapons,
it was directly connected to the
meaning of “Doing war in order to
invade other countries.”
Because weapons are different
from products produced by
businesses, no matter how much they
are manufactured, they can not be
sold on the market.
When ordinary enterprises produce In fact, when Hitler finishes manufacturing Under the above circumstances, For that purpose, when a country has Current German situation In addition, I will clarify about the After the Great War, the process of
products, they put the products on
the market, sell them, and can earn
profits. But weapons can not do that.
Then why do they manufacture weapons ?
what is “profit” that weapons earn?The “profit” that weapons produce is
looting goods such as goods, resources
or land, robbed from the neighboring
countries by invading them. Therefore,
“Manufacturing of weapons” was
directly linked to the meanings of
“Performing the war and acts of
invasion”.
Under these ideas, the Westerners on
the eve of the Second World War felt
frighteningly the “Dangers of life”,
by seeing at the fact that the Nazi
Germany began manufacturing large
amounts of weapons. People of
neighboring countries seriously
worried that “They will invade our
country certainly soon.”
This situation is, for example, the
same situation as that hundreds of
hungry carnivores wandering around
your house. Moreover, the wall of the
house is old and the hole opens, it is
almost collapsing now. The eyes of
many carnivores are peeking through
the house from the hole. Such fears
were simultaneously felt by tens of
millions of people in German neighbor
at the time.
a certain amount of weapon, he unilaterally
destroys the peace treaty tied with
neighboring countries until then and
invades Poland. And the Second World
War broke out (1939).
The Polish 1.75 million armies were
destroyed in 4 weeks and surrendered.
After that, Nazi Germany ‘s fierce battle
never stopped. In May 1940, German
army breached the border between
Belgium and the Netherlands, and break
through the Fortress of the West Front
of French “Maginot Line”. And the same
year June 14, Paris was occupied
bloodless by Germany.
France finally surrendered.
In contrast, France ‘s General
De Gaulle exiled to London, fought
with the German army with the
support of the British, forming a
“Free French government.”
In France, the French warriors
organized “Resistance” and fought
with a German army in a thorough
anti-warfare.
In addition, since the summer of
1940, Germany carried out the
“Large air raids to London” aiming
at the landing operations of the
UK mainland. But they in the UK,
encountered resistance of the British
troops centering on Churchill, and
could not achieve their purpose.
In 1941 Nazi Germany unilaterally
destroyed the “Non-Aggression Treaty”
which was concluded with the Soviets,
and advanced to the Soviet Union. It is
a “Battle against Lenin Grad” that is
called to have issued 1 million victims.
Finally, World War II ends with a victory
of the Allies side by participating in the
United States. However, the total number
of victims by this unprecedented scale war,
including soldiers and civilians, reached
an estimated 50 million to 80 million
people.
it is truly disappointing that this many
innocent people ‘s precious lives were
robbed and the lives of many people
were destroyed.
I feel painfully that “War should never
repeat again”. In the future we must
absolutely realize
“international peace and international
cooperation” in a true sense.
made military expansion and
manufacturing weapons, it is extremely
important to know where that
“underlying Thought and Intention”
lies.
In the case of North Korea, unlike
Nazi Germany, its purpose was
“Security of the Korean Peninsula”.
Because of this, Kim Jong-un, the
Labor Party chairman, said at the
inter-Korean summit of Panmunjom
on 27th April,
“If the security of the Korean
peninsula is guaranteed, we do
not need to have nuclear weapons”.
Now, at the US-North Korean
summit talks in history,
“Security and complete
denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula” is about to be seriously
discussed about it. The significance
of that realization can be said to be
quite large even in light of the past
miserable history.
current German, but the present
German is a core of a democratic
country that is largely different from
the pre-war Nazi Germany and is
mainly responsible for the democratic
system of Europe and the EU countries.
The current German democratic
feature is called “Fighting Democracy”
and this idea was created by the
constitutional scholar Carl Lowenstein
who was oppressed as a non-Aryan
in the Nazi era and exiled to the United
States.
“Fighting Democracy” is the meaning
of democracy that fights against the
“power to overturn the democratic
system by abusing democratic
freedom” by democratic process.
That is, the act (the abuse of democracy)
was what the Nazi Germany had done
in the past.
The prewar Nazi Party (National
Socialist German Workers Party)
invalidated the basic human rights
protection provisions of the Constitution
by using the “Presidential Decree for
the Protection of Ethnic People and
the State” of Article 48 of the Weimar
Constitution, which was the German
Constitution at that time. And as a
result of various works, they established
the “Absolute dictatorship” by enacting
the “full power delegation law” which
stands on the top of the Constitution.
This was the collapse of the de facto
democratic regime.
this act performed by Nazi Germany
was judged to be a “misuse of the
Democratic Constitution.” And in
West Germany (Federal Republic of
Germany) founded in 1948, the notion
of “Fighting Democracy” above was
born in order not to repeat such past
mistakes again.
It has been handed down in today’s
German democracy system.
