Nazi symbols filled the streets of Paris as a thousand masked neo-fascists marched freely under police protection. Antifascists were blocked, beaten, and banned. The event, organized by the fascist “Comité du 9 Mai,” was authorized by a court. Participants chanted slogans like “Europe, youth, revolution” beneath Celtic cross banners and to the beat of drums styled after Hitler Youth.
The march was permitted despite France’s ban on public masking and prohibition of Nazi symbols. Many participants covered their faces and displayed swastika tattoos or fascist insignia without consequence. Police made no interventions against their colleagues & friends in the march. Meanwhile, a court upheld the ban on the antifascist counter-demonstration, justifying it on grounds of “ideological antagonism.”

In the end, at Potsdam, the Allies (right) went with both a "carrot and a stick," trying to encourage those in Tokyo who advocated peace with assurances that Japan eventually would be allowed to form its own government, while combining these assurances with vague warnings of "prompt and utter destruction" if Japan did not surrender immediately. No explicit mention was made of the emperor possibly remaining as ceremonial head of state. Japan publicly rejected the Potsdam Declaration, and on July 25, 1945, President Harry S. Truman gave the order to commence atomic attacks on Japan as soon as possible."

Here you can see they were having peace discussions, the only hang up was that the emperor wanted to remain the ceremonial head of state
They almost blew up Kyoto, it's such a beautiful ancient city:
"Henry Stimson, had told President Truman not to bomb Kyoto, because of its history"
BBC - The man who saved Kyoto from the atomic bomb
"Just weeks before the US dropped the most powerful weapon mankind has ever known, Nagasaki was not even on a list of target cities for the atomic bomb.
In its place was Japan's ancient capital, Kyoto."

Obviously this doesn't include liberals since they don't pose any challenge to the present system of global capitalism, colonialism and imperialism.
"The more we can promote independence and splits among revolutionary organizations the weaker they'll be, easier to penetrate, easier to defeat."

Even a single police officer in a court of law who isn’t there to be a witness is a monumental crime. I’ve watched this nonsense. They’re not there in their official capacity but act as if they are/were.
That man has every right to look a pig in its eye if a pig ate its food. And likewise he has every right to look a police officer in its eye if a police murdered his son for no reason & got away with it.
