> So tell me again how Japan is reforming itself into communism?

You know for someone acting so smug and combative you've completely missed the point of my remarks. It wasn't me who was claiming that Japan is socialist in any way. Whatever floats your boat tho.

I must confess I realised that a couple hours after writing it. I apologise for coming across as smug and missing the point entirely.

This whole "socialism==communism" thing upsets me.

It's cool. To be quite honest all of these words are so charged and poisoned that it's hard to use them and successfully communicate with someone whomst doesn't share the same frame of reference.
