I’m not coming to argue you on your main point. As a Communist, I think communism would be great in Japan, and a lot of other places.
However, you are completely wrong about the USA not defending Japan. Unlike taiwain there are several large american military bases in Japan, and actually Japan is not allowed to have a large military of its own through its constitution (I edited this, corrected)
Okinawa is one base a lot of people have heard of, but there’s like 20 american military bases there. Japan depends on the USA for its foreign defense.
Since Japan is the largest foreign holder of american government debt (bonds) it might be appropriate to call them a vassal state.
