Talk:Reform bureaucrats

Close paraphrasing? 2

@Roniius Here's what I found, comparing your text to the cited Moore text:

Your text: Their economic goal was to form a managed economy (tōsei keizai) which would "do away with the inequalities of laissez-faire capitalism and establish a total war system."

Source: At the center of their ideo-logical program was the formation of a managed economy (tōsei keizai), which aimed to eliminate the inequalities of laissez- faire capitalism and establish a self- sufficient total war system.

I don't think there's an issue with that, it's more that the quote and what the text says are different, which I think should be fixed (unless I'm missing something).

Your text: The bureaucrats saw the nation as the "primary unit of political loyalty", not class or individuals

Source: These right- wing bureaucrats ultimately viewed the nation as the primary unit of political loyalty and economic analysis rather than class or the individual

Your text: In preparation for a war with the Soviet Union, Ishiwara, along with radical officers and reform bureaucrats, tried to transform Manchukuo into a war economy based on heavy and chemical industries

Source text: Envisioning a future war with the Soviet Union, then pursuing its second Five- Year Economic Plan under Joseph Stalin and increasing its military forces along Manchukuo’s border, radical officers aligned with Guandong Army Chief of Operations Ishihara Kanji and reform bureaucrats initiated plans to rapidly transform Manchukuo into a total war economy based primarily on heavy and chemical industries.

These are sort of minor, nothing else stood out or it was too minor to really care about. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk/CCI guide} 07:10, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
