Ive seen it called fascist before but Ive also heard that it had its own unique but similarly authoritarian right wing ideology. So I was curious if fascist is the best description. I know fascism is a kinda nebulous idea so I don’t know if it fits here or not. From my understanding the ideology of that era of japan developed mostly independent of the European fascist movement. Plenty of their actions seem similar to the fascist of Europe such as their treatment of the Chinese as often subhuman. But I’m not familiar enough with Japanese history and ideology to say if it was fascist or not. Any books/sites/videos on this would be cool if you know any. Thanks
