Narita anti-airport struggle in Japan (60s/70s)
Pretty good video about the anti-airport struggle, which was an important convergence point for the new left.

I would argue that the Narita struggle had some problematic aspects (in its anti-modernist dimension) but they sure gave it to the cops didn't they.

What the fuck? Wish I had archived it!!



That was a great video, i'd like to try and learn a bit more about the far left in japan, i read a little about struggles in japan in a book about 68, and the only other footage i watched was in sans soliel (Chris markers film) which also anti airport footage, i saw a lot of fourth international hammer and sickles, i don't know how big anarchism is in japan, the AF had some pamphlet about it at one time, but i don't know whats happened to it now, i heard something about it being reprinted.
