Abstract
This chapter examines Ūman ribu’s relationship to the United Red Army (URA), a group considered to be Japan’s most violent domestic underground revolutionary sect. It discusses the approach of one of ribu’s key activist, Tanaka Mitsu, on different manifestations of violence, and demonstrates how Tanaka’s philosophy of liberation involves the principles of contradiction and disorder, contingency, violence, relationality, and eros. The chapter concludes with an examination of Tanaka’s approach to the URA’s female leader, Nagata Hiroko, as a powerful and symbolic refinement of ribu’s intervention during one of Japan’s crucial moments in political history.
