I see the family isn’t a card-carrying union member, looking for a hand out first. I admire for their initiative and doing their best to succeed after a Japan’s natural disaster of the greatest magnitude.
They’re not defeatists.

Capitalism is not perfect, but what is perfect in life! It has done more good to more people and advanced civilization than any pie in the sky ideals. So in the mean time keep on dreaming how great communism is if it were not for the guns.

The utopian concept of equality for the mankind never worked. Great Soviet States and ChiCom proved that. It’s a dream world concocted by Marx; in reality communism suppresses man’s creativity and free will. Intelligentsias’ bureaucratic class, whether political, educational, military class ends up controlling the masses for their own concept of benevolence to all.
If you like 3 hour bread lines and like government to tell you what you should read and watch, it’s the system for you. Your life from birth to grave is looked after. Nobody has much but all are supposedly equal except people on the bureaucratic ladder of benefits.

Some places don’t even have stools; you eat and drink standing up. There are usually trains running overhead with shaking and rolling, along with deafening roaring noise until they passed through. But food was cheap and occasionally came with some camaraderie of warmth of humanity.
Things may have changed since I was there quite a few years ago but establishments usually had a red paper lantern outside to invite you in for a spell.

If I were born yesterday, I'm inclined to believe it. Yeah! After 60+ years, Russia taking the islands... The Kagemusha, Putin, and trust worthy ex communists, how much of what they say mean counts for anything. Only negotiation Russians understand is force, which Japan is a useless wimp!
