So, I'm currently living in Japan and, the place I am is full of either right wing people or "don't care about politics" people. Is there any community in Japan for lefties?
Also, have a nice day comrades. Times are difficult now, so take care of your mental health and keep fighting!

I think, at least nowadays, the JCP is practically a mostly socdem party, with some ML and Maoist factions within it. Still, it's much better than the LDP or the Democratic Party. I think they have a pretty good social and economic policy, they're pro-Lgbt, pro-republicanism, but their foreign policy sucks. And I think they're against nuclear energy.
There are smaller parties, like Reiwa Shinsengumi, who tend to be much more openly critical of the US and more friendly towards AES.
