So China, DPRK, Vietnam and Laos are the least reactionary countries in Asia. Would Japan or India be the most reactionary? (lemmygrad.ml)

It is not quite fair to Japan because they do have strong pacifist history and somewhat functional communist party (amongst industrialized nations). Personally amongst countries I've visited, I think India is really fucked up with the literal class division among people, income inequality, Hindutva ideology, and a government that ignores its daily embarrassing domestic scandals while saber rattling against all of its neighbors.

Indonesia is also kinda fucked up despite its strong history of anti-colonialism, I guess this is what happened when you have a US-backed literal genocide of the members of once the largest communist party in Asia (literally, the Jakarta method), so there is literally no leftist remaining. Now a military general who committed that genocide is set to be the next President. But at least being a majority and most-populous Muslim country, Indonesia is incredibly pro-Palestine, there's that.
