copy ex "Ōmura Masujirō" Ōmura Masujirō (1824 – 1869) was the "Father of the Modern Japanese Army".  Under the new [[Meiji government, 1868-1873 Ōmura became hyōbu daiyu, That is, Vice Minister of War in the newly created Army-Navy Ministry. His chief missions were to create a national army along European lines, and maintain domestic order. Ōmura followed the policies he had previously successfully implemented in Chōshū on a larger scale, namely, the introduction of conscription and military training for commoners, rather than reliance on a hereditary feudal force. He also strongly supported the discussions towards the abolition of the han system, and with it, the numerous private armies maintained by the daimyō'', which he considered a drain on resources and a potential threat to security. This approach was highly controversial, as it pointed to the end of the samurai system, that occasioned widespread disobedience, leading to the Saigo rebellion.

Socialist epithet
copy ex "Conservatism in the United States" The term "socialist" has long been used as an epithet by conservatives, with little regard for the issue of public ownership. In his famous 1896 editorial on "What's the matter with Kansas" attacking the radicalism of Bryanite Democrats and Populists, William Allen White used "socialistic" as "his big gun to blast radical opposition." White set "Americanism" as the alternative, warning, "The election will sustain Americanism or it will plant Socialism." Supporters of Republican conservative William McKinley distributed hundreds of thousands of copies to rally opposition to Democrat William Jennings Bryan.

At the 1952 Republican national convention, former President Herbert Hoover repeated his warnings about two decades of New Deal policies, denouncing, says Gary Best, "The usurpation of power by the federal government, the loss of freedom in America, the poisoning of the American economy with fascism, socialism, and Keynesianism, the enormous growth of the federal bureaucracy." Barry Goldwater in 1960 called for Republican unity against John F. Kennedy and the "blueprint for socialism presented by the Democrats." Ronald Reagan often quoted Norman Thomas, the perennial Socialist nominee for president in the New Deal era, as saying, "The American people would never knowingly vote for Socialism, but that under the name of liberalism, they would adopt every fragment of the socialist program."
