The first congress of the Right Socialist Party, held in January 1952, the year following the party's formation, raised the banner of "democratic socialism" and declared that the Left Socialist Party, led by a group of procommunists, would degenerate into "the puppet force of the JCP" within a few months.

Since the right wing of the Socialist Party, in opposing communism, based itself ideologically on democratic socialism, the left wing of the Socialist Party, in order to win in its ideological competition with the Communist Party, has regarded the ideology and actions of the right wing as inimical to party unity . To all appearances, Suehiro Nishio symbolized the thought and behavior of the right wing of the Socialist Party.
