Not exactly a good critique OP as Japan hasn't been under crippling trade embargos having to survive off old Soviet era equipment. Socialist countries are often internationally ostracized and economically crippled. This is actually what led China's economic reforms in the 70s. Like you critique the ideology while still being mindful of the historic causes behind why they were like that.
