마르크스 국가론의 일본적 변용 -『자본론』완역가 다카바타케 모토유기의 ‘국가사회주의’와 천황제 -

Abstract

Marxist research in Korea is still a low-investment area and a periphery of learning as of 2021, due to oppression under Japanese colonial rule, the aim of removing political opponents in the Cold War, and anti-communist ideology for dictatorship extension. This situation would be easy to understand, given that artificial launches by our technology lag behind China and Japan by more than 50 years. Meanwhile, the full-fledged study of Marxism in Japan began in the early 1900s, and a symbolic event that shows that Marxism research paid off was completed by Motoyuki Takabatake. Das Kapital translation, which began in 1920, was completed in 1926. Apart from Das Kapital translation, however, Takabatake’s understanding of Marxism is largely related to the view of the state.　He criticizes Marxism’s view of ‘national apocalypse’, providing the logic that the liberation of ‘state’, the spatio-temporal universality of ‘tate’ and the ‘state’ in ‘Japan’ should be filled with ‘Japanese content’ (Emperor System). In a way, Takabatake’s “transition” as national socialist could be a good example of (1) convergence or return of Japanese thinkers or universalist ideas to the emperor system, (2) redefining concepts of left and right, and (3) understanding the bias of ideas common in Korean politicians. Marxist research and Takabatake’s case will serve as a cornerstone for correcting Korean politics, overly capitalism research, and strengthening Korean society now and in the future.
