Emperor-system fascism
Emperor-system fascism (天皇制ファシズム, Tennōsei fashizumu) or Japanese fascism (日本型ファシズム, Nihongata fashizumu; lit. "Japanese-style fascism") is the view that ultranationalistic politics, society, and ideas based on the Empire of Japan's "Emperor system" were a kind of fascism until the end of World War II in Asia. Rather than an ideology openly espoused by the Japanese themselves, Emperor-system fascism is a retrospective concept developed primarily by Japanese Marxist historians to describe how Japanese fascism was distinct from European fascism. While Japan exhibited fascist characteristics such as totalitarianism, militarism, and ultranationalism, it relied on the divine authority of the Emperor and the existing establishment, rather than a revolution.
