European style social capitalism is the closest thing to Communism for Japan.

The japanese polls can't be wrong about communism:confused:

ok guys，I come from China~~mainland。

God told us:
1.You shall have no other gods before [a] me.

2."You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

3."You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

4."Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

5. "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

6."You shall not murder.

7."You shall not commit adultery.

8."You shall not steal.

9. "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

10."You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."

Wow~! so many rules! so God is a COMMUNIST,isn't it?

Well，I don‘t understand why you related your experience with communism。I dont know the detail rules of the japanese train,but don't you think you should at least follow the rules as a passager?When you on the plane,they will also ask you to turn off your cellphone, IS THIS COMUNISM?


you are really a funny guy,friend.

That's funny LOL:mtongue:

yeah，very funny. could you please tell me what Communism is?From your post,I found I am so stupid that I live in a socialism country for many years but still don't realise it means”turn off the cellphone on the train".could you please tell me ？ha?

The Japanese are too aware of democracy and freedom of the press to gain serious popularity with the Japan Communist Party. Communists try to brainwash people by making them think that capitalists are responsible for causing the recession when there is little freedom in communist countries compared to capitalist ones.

Sounds the polls are wrong.. I wonder why the BBC is reporting such tripe!

I wonder if the Japanese Communist Party will stay silent on todays nuclear tests from our friends across the "Korean Sea"

I like the JCP anti-corruption platform, and article 9 defense, but the rest, hmmmmmmmm. Think they need a name change! How about Green Social Party? Any others?

The BBC report suggested that the (relative) rise in popularity among the Communist party is a reaction to the recession.

I too think that Japan will never ACTUALLY become communist.

It's a bunch of uneducated people that are attracted to communism's utopian and fair promise (a promise far removed from the realities of the present) during hard times. Not a serious indicator of Japan's future.
