Mansa is joined by Comrades Philipp and Jeanne from Tokyo to get educated on what's happening in Japan. There's a new Prime Minister in town, Sanae Takaichi, who has been nicknamed the Japanese Margaret Thatcher, the right is growing, attacks are on the horizon, yet the left is stuck in its old ways. Our comrades point to some lessons that the left needs to learn in order to go forward. 

Our discussion is based on the article "Japan in crisis, the left in disarray - Workers need to prepare for the coming attacks" can be read here: https://iclfi.org/pubs/icl-ja/5/elections (use google translate for English)
