more than half of the seats!

Mayor of the village
Farmers' sons
almost all become
salaried workers.
They abandon agriculture.
This is the situation we are in.
Inevitably,
the village of Ono, within 10 years,
finally, in about ten years,
will become one with Kashima.
He will have to survive with Kashima
in this new form.
In these conditions,
these are high standing residences
that will grow,
not the agricultural village.
Despite this, agriculture
could continue in his corner.
That's what I'd like to think.
You can't build
if you don't have the money.
There is money here.
But the real problem is land.
Without land,
you cannot build a house.
Today,
celebrations are based on exchange.
Before, when we celebrated a party,
what was offered there was not given back.
Now if.
Well, that has changed a lot.
As
more and more money is given these days,
we return it as a gift.
And we'll give money
for other people's houses.
The sense of obligation
is still very strong around here.
It allows you to serve.
May
that we can make a living in Kashima.
Few people have money here.
It does not prevent them
from living comfortably.
But deep down, they suck.
We don't know how
agriculture will evolve in the future.
Me, my desire is to see
my farm grow.
I will do anything for that.
But we lack resources.
If that doesn't happen,
we can eat our crops.
But I don't know what will happen
under these conditions.
That...
it was the sum brought by a man.
Everything came from the neighborhood.
And that was family.
It was family.
This money went to the deceased.
There was also rice.
Those who helped
shared the rest.
But the value of things has increased,
so today is different.
Look,
it 's my grandfather's funeral .
And that, those of my father.
Everything is recorded at the funeral.
The amount offered for my grandfather
and the one offered for my father
are not the same.
The sum offered to the deceased
is completely different.
The value of things
kept increasing.
Village firefighters
Go on!
Attention!
Hail command!
Everyone in rows!
Everyone listen!
Our exercise can be performed
in 1 hour.
I planned to finish it today.
But if it doesn't go well,
we'll still be there at 10:00.
Dad wants a TV this year.
One color station: 150,000 yen.
Next year or the year after
it will be a car
to replace the old one.
And maybe the next year
or even later,
he will also want air conditioning.

''If we are a man!''
I defer to you
and, with all my heart,
I ask for your support.
People of Ono, vote for Arai Manabu.
Arai Manabu! Arai Manabu!
I count on you!
My name is Arai Manabu.
My name is Arai Manabu.
Arai Manabu is counting on you!
Thanks! Thank you from the heart!
I count on you!
We count on your advice,
your support
and your cooperation.
We are counting on you!
His name is Ogawa Genichi
and he's counting on you!
This Kashima election campaign
will be broadcast
tonight at 9:30 p.m.
on the general channel of NHK.
Don't miss this program!
He will be the politician
dedicated to the prosperity of Ono.
With you he will build
a new Kashima where it will be good to live.
To all,
we ask for your support.
In Japan,
parties are worth nothing in politics.
Our elections are changing
in donations of alcohol or money.
Especially if you appeal
to a sense of obligation.
You don't win elections without it
in Japan.
Especially in regional elections,
in small groups, everything is settled
by a sense of obligation.
This is what regulates elections
and work.
The sense of obligation
is a tradition in Japan.
But it would disappear
in the event of a citizen revolution.
The obligation is not a system
in itself.
In today's Japan,
we have capitalism,
appearances of a democracy,
so that the political parties
do not have recourse
to the sense of obligation.
But for the regional elections,
the obligation takes precedence
over the feeling of entitlement.
It's the perfect example.
They take advantage of it, that's all.
Said like that,
it's closer to reality.
The obligation disappears
from government business.
The politics of the PS
and that of the PLD are vague,
but we almost understand.
So we vote PLD, PS or PC.
For that, it works.
But it does not work
at the scale of villages
and small towns.
Today, at the level of the prefectures,
it's a big problem.
We need citizens
who wake up
to destroy such a system.
People change little by little.
We still need
50 or 100 years of history.
The PC makes between 200 and 300 voices.
PS,
between 2,300 and 2,500 votes.
Always the same result.
Whoever the candidate is, it's the same.
In Kashima, political consciousness
is very weak.
We wonder
on what criteria to choose.
Myself, I don't really know.
Bonjour.
Hello. Number 436.
Bonjour!

Listen,
if we wait to be polluted
as is the port of Tokyo,
it will be too late.
In the words of Prefect Iwakami,
Kashima mining
has been accepted.
To these words,
I reply that it is not so.
Kashima exploitation
is not accepted!
Look at the situation of the fishermen.
The sea is dirty
by waste and oil.
Fish are inedible.
That's where we are in Kashima.
No to pollution!
Prefect Iwakami promises us
that there will never be pollution.
But you all know it,
the sea is already polluted
with oil and waste
and the inhabitants of the Kamizu district
live as neighbors
of this oil dump.
The noise it generates
was measured at 75 phons.
All I want
is pure water.
If I had pure water, it would be fine.
Did you tell them what's going to happen?
Did you tell them?
They understand nothing.
What did you tell them?
You are not deaf!
Do you only talk to your wife?
I'm a woman,
me too, I don't have a penis!
Let's take off our panties. We are going to fight.
Take off your panties and I take off mine.
Are you ready?
Two against one,
sure I can win!
What are you going to do
if the water is polluted?
What will you do?
Are you responsible?
Yes or no?
Hey! You!
What are you going to do?
Are you not responsible?
Are you not responsible?
Poor jerk!
Go home!
Farmers and students
in front of the agents
of the public works company
The Elderly Action Group,
they are wealthy grandfathers
and grandmothers.
They could stay quietly
at home.
That's what they want to do,
after all.
But now is not the time
to stand there
blowing their grandchildren's nose.
Among them, there are some who have already
one foot in the grave.
But they decided to be young.
As young
as student activists.
Kurosawa is the leader of this action.
He's young.
I call him ''the young Kurosawa''.
Kurosawa came to join us.
We had to meet.
As
he approached the guards,
Kurosawa took a 20-liter barrel
filled with that familiar yellowish shit
and threw some at them with a ladle.
Voilà!
What do mobile guards do?
They went to find Kurosawa.
They took their truncheons
and hit him.
They knocked him down
and strangled him.
Kurosawa has energy,
he got up.
They put a rope
around his waist.
They took him away
in handcuffs.
He said
that he wouldn't speak without a lawyer.
The brigade leader was annoyed.
What to do with an old caker?
Well, old Kurosawa
came back with dignity at 9:30 a.m.
on the places where we are.
With a leader
like him for our action,
no more petty peasant conflicts.
The revolution will take place in Japan!
imperialism and capitalism
will be overturned
to their very foundations.
We need to.
We have to fight!
The peasants will fight.
They will, trust me.
This is neither drivel
nor a sermon for kids.
I'm not talking to you to talk
nonsense.
Some groups of students
see the workers
like enemies
because they are building the airport.
This way of looking at the situation
is widespread.
But reasoning like this
it is playing the game
of monopoly capitalism.
And they fall into the trap.
Construction workers
are different from each other.
Some struggle
while driving
the machines and bulldozers.
Yes, there are some like that.
There are also
seasonal workers.
Those of subcontracting companies
who, in case of conflict,
stand on our side.
Today,
society and capitalism
are full of contradictions.
Seasonal workers
have no means of action
and they are not unionized.
They are however very numerous.
How to be heard?
What form of action is possible?
We must seek
our own means of action.
''Reason thunders in its crater
''It's the eruption of the end!
''From the past, let's make a clean sweep,
''Slave crowd, stand up, stand up!''
All of you workers!
We have
no resentment towards you.
We ask you today
to refuse to work
even if ordered to do so.
We are counting on you.
Stop contributing
to the killing of peasants.
We are innocent peasants,
we don't ask
only to continue to live in safety.
We're about to
to be forcibly removed from our lands.
Now,
we are determined until death,
until they are buried.
You all!
Face reality
and look at us.
Our bodies are attached,
tied to our fortress.
We will protect her until the end!
We will go to the end
of our action.
If you leave,
our action cannot...
Do not prevent our action
from taking place.
The mobile brigades
no more!
Be all our allies!
Thanks a lot.
far-right party.
It's completely ridiculous!
In time of war, we do not send
women and children
on the battlefield.
Yet that is what
these fools do!
Send women and children
is a good tactic.
The police men
would not touch
women and children.
With a strong government,
the dispersal would be orderly
and these guys would go to jail for
2 or 3 years.
In China or in the USSR,
which they admire so much,
we wouldn't let them.
They would be killed
as counter-revolutionaries!
This way! Quick!
Let's prevent the raid!
Let's prevent it!
We will fight until victory!
Mobile guards, go home!
Mobile guards, get out!
We will fight until the end!
We will fight until victory!
We will fight!
''Our world stands
on a fortress
''Let's build it with perseverance
''Violent clouds
cover the light
''A storm of enemies is coming
''Come, comrades, without retreating
''Let's break the chains of the enemy
''Freedom in pillars of fire
''Spark above our heads...''
No at the airport!
Go home!
Assassins!
You despise people
and you run them!
Get out of there, it's too dangerous!
A comrade is dead!
Watch what you are doing! Stop!
And you say to protect
the life of the peasants!

It's in loyalty
and in all honesty
that our partners and we,
the prefecture,
we were determined to move forward
and to join forces
in order to achieve this result.
This result that we are celebrating today
brought us great progress.
I don't know how to tell you
how much
I am deeply grateful to you.
In times to come,
we will have to face
to great difficulty.
But the questions
we need to think about
as human beings
touch directly on harmony
between Nature and Man.
middle classes,
the small industrialist,
the small merchant,
the craftsman, the peasant,
all fight the bourgeoisie
to safeguard their existence
middle classes under threat.
They are therefore not revolutionary.
but conservative.
Moreover, they are reactionary,
since they seek
to demote
the wheel of history.
But they are revolutionary
insofar as they provide
that they will melt
in the proletariat.
So they don't defend
their current interests
but their future interests.
They give up
their own point of view
to take that of the proletariat. ''

I count on you!
We count on your advice,
your support
and your cooperation.
We are counting on you!
His name is Ogawa Genichi
and he's counting on you!
This Kashima election campaign
will be broadcast
tonight at 9:30 p.m.
on the general channel of NHK.
Don't miss this program!
He will be the politician
dedicated to the prosperity of Ono.
With you he will build
a new Kashima where it will be good to live.
To all,
we ask for your support.
In Japan,
parties are worth nothing in politics.
Our elections are changing
in donations of alcohol or money.
Especially if you appeal
to a sense of obligation.
You don't win elections without it
in Japan.
Especially in regional elections,
in small groups, everything is settled
by a sense of obligation.
This is what regulates elections
and work.
The sense of obligation
is a tradition in Japan.
But it would disappear
in the event of a citizen revolution.
The obligation is not a system
in itself.
In today's Japan,
we have capitalism,
appearances of a democracy,
so that the political parties
do not have recourse
to the sense of obligation.
But for the regional elections,
the obligation takes precedence
over the feeling of entitlement.
It's the perfect example.
They take advantage of it, that's all.
Said like that,
it's closer to reality.
The obligation disappears
from government business.
The politics of the PS
and that of the PLD are vague,
but we almost understand.
So we vote PLD, PS or PC.
For that, it works.
But it does not work
at the scale of villages
and small towns.
Today, at the level of the prefectures,
it's a big problem.
We need citizens
who wake up
to destroy such a system.
People change little by little.
We still need
50 or 100 years of history.
The PC makes between 200 and 300 voices.
PS,
between 2,300 and 2,500 votes.
Always the same result.
Whoever the candidate is, it's the same.
In Kashima, political consciousness
is very weak.
We wonder
on what criteria to choose.
Myself, I don't really know.
Bonjour.
Hello. Number 436.
Bonjour!
Ballot boxes
Bonjour!

Listen,
if we wait to be polluted
as is the port of Tokyo,
it will be too late.
In the words of Prefect Iwakami,
Kashima mining
has been accepted.
To these words,
I reply that it is not so.
Kashima exploitation
is not accepted!
Look at the situation of the fishermen.
The sea is dirty
by waste and oil.
Fish are inedible.
That's where we are in Kashima.
No to pollution!
Prefect Iwakami promises us
that there will never be pollution.
But you all know it,
the sea is already polluted
with oil and waste
and the inhabitants of the Kamizu district
live as neighbors
of this oil dump.
The noise it generates
was measured at 75 phons.
All I want
is pure water.
If I had pure water, it would be fine.
Did you tell them what's going to happen?
Did you tell them?
They understand nothing.
What did you tell them?
You are not deaf!
Do you only talk to your wife?
I'm a woman,
me too, I don't have a penis!
Let's take off our panties. We are going to fight.
Take off your panties and I take off mine.
Are you ready?
Two against one,
sure I can win!
What are you going to do
if the water is polluted?
What will you do?
Are you responsible?
Yes or no?
Hey! You!
What are you going to do?
Are you not responsible?
Are you not responsible?
Poor jerk!
Go home!
Farmers and students
in front of the agents
of the public works company
The Elderly Action Group,
they are wealthy grandfathers
and grandmothers.
They could stay quietly
at home.
That's what they want to do,
after all.
But now is not the time
to stand there
blowing their grandchildren's nose.
Among them, there are some who have already
one foot in the grave.
But they decided to be young.
As young
as student activists.
Kurosawa is the leader of this action.
He's young.
I call him ''the young Kurosawa''.
Kurosawa came to join us.
We had to meet.
As
he approached the guards,
Kurosawa took a 20-liter barrel
filled with that familiar yellowish shit
and threw some at them with a ladle.
Voilà!
What do mobile guards do?
They went to find Kurosawa.
They took their truncheons
and hit him.
They knocked him down
and strangled him.
Kurosawa has energy,
he got up.
They put a rope
around his waist.
They took him away
in handcuffs.
He said
that he wouldn't speak without a lawyer.
The brigade leader was annoyed.
What to do with an old caker?
Well, old Kurosawa
came back with dignity at 9:30 a.m.
on the places where we are.
With a leader
like him for our action,
no more petty peasant conflicts.
The revolution will take place in Japan!
imperialism and capitalism
will be overturned
to their very foundations.
We need to.
We have to fight!
The peasants will fight.
They will, trust me.
This is neither drivel
nor a sermon for kids.
I'm not talking to you to talk
nonsense.
Some groups of students
see the workers
like enemies
because they are building the airport.
This way of looking at the situation
is widespread.
But reasoning like this
it is playing the game
of monopoly capitalism.
And they fall into the trap.
Construction workers
are different from each other.
Some struggle
while driving
the machines and bulldozers.
Yes, there are some like that.
There are also
seasonal workers.
Those of subcontracting companies
who, in case of conflict,
stand on our side.
Today,
society and capitalism
are full of contradictions.
Seasonal workers
have no means of action
and they are not unionized.
They are however very numerous.
How to be heard?
What form of action is possible?
We must seek
our own means of action.
''Reason thunders in its crater
''It's the eruption of the end!
''From the past, let's make a clean sweep,
''Slave crowd, stand up, stand up!''
All of you workers!
We have
no resentment towards you.
We ask you today
to refuse to work
even if ordered to do so.
We are counting on you.
Stop contributing
to the killing of peasants.
We are innocent peasants,
we don't ask
only to continue to live in safety.
We're about to
to be forcibly removed from our lands.
Now,
we are determined until death,
until they are buried.
You all!
Face reality
and look at us.
Our bodies are attached,
tied to our fortress.
We will protect her until the end!
We will go to the end
of our action.
If you leave,
our action cannot...
Do not prevent our action
from taking place.
The mobile brigades
no more!
Be all our allies!
Thanks a lot.
far-right party.
It's completely ridiculous!
In time of war, we do not send
women and children
on the battlefield.
Yet that is what
these fools do!
Send women and children
is a good tactic.
The police men
would not touch
women and children.
With a strong government,
the dispersal would be orderly
and these guys would go to jail for
2 or 3 years.
In China or in the USSR,
which they admire so much,
we wouldn't let them.
They would be killed
as counter-revolutionaries!
This way! Quick!
Let's prevent the raid!
Let's prevent it!
We will fight until victory!
Mobile guards, go home!
Mobile guards, get out!
We will fight until the end!
We will fight until victory!
We will fight!
''Our world stands
on a fortress
''Let's build it with perseverance
''Violent clouds
cover the light
''A storm of enemies is coming
''Come, comrades, without retreating
''Let's break the chains of the enemy
''Freedom in pillars of fire
''Spark above our heads...''
No at the airport!
Go home!
Assassins!
You despise people
and you run them!
Get out of there, it's too dangerous!
A comrade is dead!
Watch what you are doing! Stop!
And you say to protect
the life of the peasants!

It's in loyalty

that our partners and we,
the prefecture,
we were determined to move forward
and to join forces
in order to achieve this result.
This result that we are celebrating today
brought us great progress.
I don't know how to tell you
how much
I am deeply grateful to you.
In times to come,
we will have to face
to great difficulty.
But the questions
we need to think about
as human beings
touch directly on harmony
between Nature and Man.
middle classes,
the small industrialist,
the small merchant,
the craftsman, the peasant,
all fight the bourgeoisie
to safeguard their existence
middle classes under threat.
They are therefore not revolutionary.
but conservative.
Moreover, they are reactionary,
since they seek
to demote
the wheel of history.
But they are revolutionary
insofar as they provide
that they will melt
in the proletariat.
So they don't defend
their current interests
but their future interests.
They give up
their own point of view
to take that of the proletariat. ''
