Marxist perspective on Japan

[RedVanguard9]

I was curious as to what analysis you give on Japan both modern day and also just Japans history in general.  I've notice a great lack of analysis when it comes to Japan from many groups.  The perspectives i have read on it come from groups like The Sparts they used to come to my school everyday and sell their paper.  In anycase i was looking for other perspectives on Japan.  I believe they may end up in some sort of trading bloc with China and the rest of East Asia some sort of bankers deal like NAFTA...
