Fighting pornography is not any step toward communism as a matte rof fact if you will read Karl Marx works you’ll find out breaking down the public morality is one of many steps towards communism.

That's Yuri Bezmenov's take on Marx, and he's right. But there is no connection to porn.

Japan produces immense quantities of pornography having the most outlandish, violent, rape fantasy, bondage, weird fetish, giant orgy, schoolgirl themes... every vile thing you can imagine.

Yet the Japanese have incredibly low rates of sexual assault, rape, and about HALF the divorce rate of the United States (1-in-4 vs about 50%).

Japan is most certainly not moving toward Communism -- not by this or any mechanism.

You are wrong on every point you made. Even Yuri. He makes references to the KGB’s intentions. What I said about Marx absolutely stands.

Have you ever actually been in Japan?

Have you ever seen the posters in the subways showing schoolgirls and office ladies telling molesters (called "chikan") that "NO!" (in English, because there is no forceful way to say NO! in Japanese) they don't want to be felt up or the poster with the three red circles with the slashes through them, one with a picture of a person hitting a vending machine, the second with a person hitting a train man, and the third with a man's hand going up a woman's skirt? How about the woman-only train cars that they've run so that woman can feel safe going home from Shibuya without getting felt up? Yeah, that's how common men molesting women in Tokyo train cars is.

I think you are confusing low reporting rates with reality. In Japan, a woman who gets felt up on a train will traditionally (though this is changing) simply not say anything because causing a commotion in public is considered rude and embarassing and she won't report it for the same reason.

Do I also need to tell you about the high number of young women who no longer get married, the rampant sexism in the workplace, the low birth rate, the child pornography that was only recently stopped, and so on? And let's not forget that Japan has more abortions per year than the United States with half the population. And what about the actual Japanese women who are pushed into making pornography to pay off family debts by the Yakuza? Good clean fun?

Yeah, and Japan doesn't have a homeless problem, either. I was just imagining those tent cities full of dirty men with no jobs in the parks.

There are plenty of wonderful things about Japan but their relations between the sexes and how women are treated are not among them. Please, take the rose-colored glasses off or spend some time there.

They also have extremely high rates for suicide far out stripping the USA. It not necessarily related to porn per se but more as an expression of social structure IMHO. The truth is always a 3 edged sword. your Truth, my Truth and the Truth thats revealed.

Oddly - married Japanese couples do not have sex because of the porn.

Why less divorces? Cultural. For now.
