Rightist Socialist Party Of JapanThe Rightist Socialist Party of Japan was a Japanese political party that existed between 1948 and 1955. It was a center-left political party, which adopted a policy of moderate social-democracy. History Following the defeat of the Japan Socialist Party in 1948 at the hands of Japan's two main conservative parties, the Liberal Party and the Democrat Party, the Japan Socialist Party dissolved into chaos and internal bickering, between moderates and Marxists. So, that year, the party split in two. Most joined the more radical, extreme socialist, and even Marxist-Leninist Leftist Socialist Party of Japan, while some joined the more moderate, centrist-social-democratic Rightist Socialist Party of Japan. The left-wing was in chaos between 1948 and 1955, and finally, in early 1955, the Rightist Socialists and the Leftist Socialists reconciled and merged back into the Japan Socialist Party, months before the formation of the Liberal Democrat Party, a merger of the Liberal and Democrat parties. Even though, the Rightist Socialist Party had already dissolved by 1955, and the Japan Socialist Party had reunified, some members of the former Rightist Socialist Party broke off from the JSP in 1960 and created the Democratic Socialist Party. A newly formed youth organisation - Young Socialists (Japan), which retains a full membership of International Union of Socialist Youth) is said to be inherited from the political tradition of Rightist Socialist Party. On domestic policy, the party was moderate social-democratic and left-wing. It is now defunct. See Also *Social Democratic Party (Japan)
