The reason why the nominator of the popular word nominee “Rice Theory” decided to go to court with the Communist Party.

‘Lacks a sense of human rights’

Both Chairperson Tomoko Tamura (59) and Secretary General Akira Koike (64) initially said, ‘It is necessary to comply with labor laws and regulations.’ However, when questioned by the media, they began to say that the full-time employment was a “voluntary activity” and “not a labor-management relationship,” that “compliance with labor laws” was only voluntary, and that they “thought labor laws and regulations did not apply to them.

This is the very essence of the “rice noodle theory,” in which the company tries to deceive the public by making a sound defense while actually preparing an evasive answer. I was astonished that he would make such malicious evasions, just like the former Abe administration.

Takayuki Kamiya, 54, a former member of the Communist Party, manga critic, and the creator of the “rice argument,” which was nominated for the 2006 Ryukugo Award, lamented. Kamiya graduated from Kyoto University’s Faculty of Law and has worked as a Communist Party official for nearly 30 years.

The genesis of Kamiya’s decision to sue the Communist Party goes back about two years. In February 2011, Kamiya argued on his blog that the party should review its punishment of journalist Nobuyuki Matsutake, 70, who was expelled from the party in February 2011 for calling for a public election of party leaders. His actions were charged with violating the party’s constitution.

Kamiya claims that he was repeatedly pressured to “deeply self-criticize” and “delete his blog,” and that he was subjected to power harassment, including being questioned in large groups of “five to one” and “eleven to one. After rejecting the party’s demands, Kamiya was expelled and dismissed last August. Aggrieved by this punishment, Mr. Kamiya filed a lawsuit against the Communist Party on November 12, 2012, seeking confirmation of his position and damages of approximately 9.83 million yen for the power harassment.

Mr. Kamiya is outraged.

In the first place, I did not act in violation of the code,” he said. The process leading up to my expulsion and dismissal was also unlawful. I felt that this process was unfair and that the party should be held accountable, so I decided to file the lawsuit.

At the Fukuoka Prefectural Party Committee, to which Mr. Kamiya belonged, party members staged a protest against the committee, demanding the withdrawal of his expulsion. At the root of the situation is the party’s lack of a sense of human rights,” Kamiya continued.

Just like in a company organization, there are many party members who quit because of the difficulties they experience in their personal relationships. Last summer, young party members in Fukuoka Last summer, young party members in Fukuoka demanded that the committee pay them overtime, and the Labor Standards Inspection Office investigated, but the committee brushed it off, saying, ‘There is no such thing as overtime work.

In the Diet and local assemblies, the Communist Party has a history of very sharp and pioneering pursuit of labor issues. But when it comes to their own affairs, they do the exact opposite. This is not limited to labor issues. In the end, we have become an organization that overly pays attention to the party center and its superiors.”
