Has anyone moved into a country with a communist gov from a capitalist one?
I'm curious about your stories. In my other thread about thinking of moving to Japan because of their population decline people suggested communist countries. I personally don't consider it at the moment because, to my knowledge, they have a stable population growth so my housing issue wouldn't be easier to resolve. Nevertheless, I'm eager to listen to your stories. :)
I live in Japan and have been here for over 28 years. Also I am a nominal members of the Kyosanto (Japanese communist party). I attend rallies and have communist posters hanging outside the house.
Study hard, you can do it. Japan has a rightwing shithead government at the moment but kids are waking up here and hopefully we can change things.
Hey, another Japan comrade. Didn't expect to see many of us here, though I have only been here about 15 years myself. I am pretty hopeful about the trends towards the future, as people are increasingly disenfranchised with the shitty LDP.
I gotta be honest, i don’t understand that reference 草, my Japanese skills are still elementary. “ご苦労サンバ” lead me to a song, but probably I need some cultural context to get it.
I dunno. My city has communist members in city council and they're working like hell on all the issues that I agree with. Anti war, pro LGBTQ, fund the schools, stop the goddamn tax, they are nerdy and old and I love them all.
My comrades here are 70+ years old. Holding rallies in front of 10 people at the train station. I don't care about any historical indescrections or leftist infighting at this point. The alternative here is what? Naw, cant be bothered with that stuff at this point. We work together as communists to change the political landscape. That's it.
