Have you heard the term, 'local communism'? A group of old men and old ladies speaking Japanese uttered the term in my presence, when I interrogated them online. 

First, I imagined they were pretending to be in a poor political sitcom or something. But, they repeatedly tried to persuade a person who I know well, and who faced them in person, to surrender to the ideology that the term represents, and the entire interrogation was fully recorded on a digital stream. I shuddered. They still cling to the ghost of the last century. Can you believe it?
