Clearly trolling. Calling Japan a "well known socialist country" ignores most of late 20th century Japanese politics: the fact that Japan was generally ruled by the LDP, often described in Japan as "neither liberal, nor democratic, nor a real party." The only socialist prime minister was Tomiichi Murayama, who managed to stay in power for all of 1.5 years.
You know, the Culture of Socialism does not always need the parties to be called Socialist. Look at the spending of Japan governments and please tell me with a straight face that this is not the spending of a Socialist state. Have fun.
I can't tell if this post is serious, or just trolling.
