This already counts as socialist?

Except like, the entirety of Japan.
I haven't been to Japan, but from what I hear, it's not the kind of place where you're going to find piles of trash bags on the street.
I have been there. You do. If you are actually interested in learning about it, look up how there deposal system works and maybe visit e.g. Tokyo once. Tokyo can be nasty.
Then you visited a different Tokyo then me. Cleanest city I've ever been in, and I'm from Germany.
Well Tokyo is huge. But e.g. shibuya isn't that niche and I walked on a sticky ground through broken glass there.
Tokyo is mostly clean. I am not saying that it is dirty.
I am saying, in Japan, seeing trash bag on the street is not usual (for collection usually) and e.g. Tokyo CAN be nasty.
Switzerland outside the massive amount of graffiti , it was the cleanest place I’ve ever been
Well that's how trash pickup is done all across the country. Clear plastic bags (usually you have to purchase them specific to each ward and each trash type) on the footpath a few times a week. Usually gone by lunch time. Apartment buildings can end up with huge piles of them. The crows love picking apart the bags and spreading trash about.
Japan really isn't some mythical cleanly place and I've no idea how they managed to get that stereotype. I've seen fly tipping, piss jugs, trash along the motorways, riverbanks covered in empty drink bottles. Its the same as anywhere else.
Also, Barcelona and many other Mediterranean cities
