Liberal Fascism in Japan

Mr.Goldberg don't write about Japanese fascism in his book"Liberal Fascism". But, F.D.R declare the war against Japan as "Battle for Democracy against Fascism". He might understand nothing about Japanese history,although he know about Hitler and Mussolini very well.
  Fascism is associated with a dictatorship commonly, But Japanese Emperor was not a dictator at that time. America resigned to accuse emperor after the war after all. Depending on scholars of Japanese history, Japanese fascism was military fascism. Before the War, socialism was growing in Japan too, lefties claimed for various social rights. But Greater Easter Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere(大東亜共栄圏dai-to- a- kyoeiken)replaced socialism soon later. It is regarded as Fascism.
 American Liberal Fascists had no interest in Japan, so it is natural for Goldberg to omit Japanese Fascism.  Fascism may be "Fascism stemmed from European culture" I assume. Japanese Fascists would be "Europeanized intellectuals". and they often admired farm. By the way ,Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto(山本　五十六　planner of Pearl Harbor Attack  ）graduated from Harvard Univ. and ironically he was the most Americanized person in Japan. At that time, Military officers were educated in a westernized way. Both Fascism and Liberalism were "Europeanism"for Japanese.
After the war, occupied Japan was rebuilded under the"Liberal Fascist"of America.(American planners of occupied Japan were mainly "New Dealer Democrat"Especially Deweyan was famous in education system reformation) Modern Japanese Left often depends on this American Liberal Fascists policy until now.
