Not cheerleading, just concrete analysis of what exists. Keiretsu capitalism is nasty, brutish, and horrid, but it works differently from US neoliberalism, and it does interesting, quasi-socialist things to underwrite the forces of production, which any Left alternative to the status quo has to take very seriously indeed.
