The prewar Japanese state considered Marxism to be a grave threat to Japan's "national essence" (国体, ''kokutai''). The Peace Preservation Law, passed in 1925, empowered the Special Higher Police (''Tokubetsu Kōtō Keisatsu'', abbreviated ''Tokkō'') to persecute communists, socialists, and other leftists by explicitly criminalizing criticism of the system of priva ...
