I SAID IT! FUCK JAPAN! It's the uninterrupted continuation of Imperial Japan, and it unilaterally deserves it's just condemnation for the horror it's wrecked across Asia.

      The 'County' that I live in is Kyosanto which is the Japanese communist party. It's growing. Sure, it's a minority nationally but at least Japan has more than 2 identical parties..

        Yeah, the Japanese Communist Party has a lot of representation if you consider...it is Japan. The US, SK, the overwhelming majority of any other western aligned countries have nowhere near the sort.

        yes. but they also have great infrastructure (this is possibly an understatement) and healthcare and benefits for parents. When I went the doctor there without insurance I paid less than I paid in the US with insurance.

        I don't think Korea's history allows them to be true believers. Capitalism is likely to be embeded in 'tribal' terms ROK = good, ROK = capitalist, ergo capitalist=good contrast to Communism = DPRK = bad. So they'll view capitalism from their experience which is an outlier globally.
