  The high taxes and strong medical insurance program is not because "medical care is a human right". Its for Japanese. Americans would see this as nationalism. The trains, government market control, subsidies etc are not to protect humanity from capitalism, its to provide safety and convenience for Japanese people. Freedom be damned either way so calling it right wing doesn't work. Imagine if Bidens political goal was universal healthcare for all white people. Or if trump wanted strict gun control to protect the nation. Left right just isn't real. I see it as analogous to before the world knew about microorganisms and thought your health was determined by good and bad humors. There were experts in humors, jokes, art, writing. Im sure it seemed like a very real thing at the time.
