IKEA has furnished and is renting out a 10 m2 apartment in central Tokyo for about a dollar per month. It's clearly a gimmick of sorts as the furniture in the apartment are worth a lot more then that. Still looking at the pictures it looks like living in a nicely furnished prison cell, that is also very high (floor to ceiling). Any takers for such compact living? I dont think climbing around on ladders to get around is for me.
It seems very futuristic though; it is a staple of sci-fi to pack people like sardines in a can (Ripley's apartment in aliens, 5th element etc., etc.)

I guess we should vote for the fascists then. Makes sense.

The Nazi party was called the Nazi socialist party. So, no, I wouldn't support voting for people that are even further to the left than the democrats.

The National Socialist German Worker's Party had as much to do with socialism as much that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democracy and/or a republic.
Just because it is in the name doesn't make it one.

When you talk about Nazis and the KKK you are specifically referring to the democrats. The Nazi party (the Nazi socialist party), the KKK, they were democrats/socialists. The U.S. Republican party was created to oppose slavery. The U.S. republican party freed the slaves, they gave blacks and women the right to vote, they had the first black congressman in office, the democrats passed the Jim Crow laws.
Stop being your typical democrat/socialist that wants to rewrite history and assign the unpopular history that your party was responsible for onto your opposing party.
