Discussion JP Novels and their Hidden Political Identities

Maybe they expected others to agree with them and got embarrassed when people started using facts, which are beyond them. But, hey, its just a theory.

I think it's called Average Facebook Commenter. A not-so-rare breed.

 

It's rare for a Japanese MC to actually get involved in communism, that is, setting up businesses to be owned by workers and the like. Some, like a certain slime, do resort to it, because actual communism (as opposed to socialism of the Soviet Union) is the easiest system to set up. They usually end up converting to a different system as their realm scales up, because the author does not believe in communism.

What Japanese MCs favor, is modern social democracy - with racial equality, few barriers between the rich and the poor, opportunities to do business, meritocratic promotions, justice for bad guys and help for those that need it. In short, they are typical young people of this era.
I haven't seen any elections in these novels, though. I guess it's because Japanese political system is sham.

"Commie" is slang for "communist" - a person who likes any of the numerous ideologies going back to Marx's "Capital". In general, communists like equality and justice, sometimes they like them so much they're willing to murder millions for that.
In USA, due to excessive brainwashing, it's a general-purpose insult for people who aren't as evil as the speaker. Example: "How dare you not want to murder kittens, you commie!".

Most communist countries tried to avoid sexism, racism and nationalism, with varying degrees of success. But yes, it wasn't what communism was all about, it was just common sense for the people at its roots.
There is no rule that communist countries can't have democracy - in practice, they often have democracy, but forbid non-communist parties from taking part in it. (which isn't very democratic)
