Fuck yeah! Love Vietnam, I’m just sad they’re communist country. Maybe one day they will kick out communism too!
I think the problem is authoritarianism rather than which coat of paint the authoritarianism uses, but eh.
Hell, they probably would have been pro-US commies if we helped instead of subscribed to Domino Theory.
Ah domino-theory. A logical fallacy given a different name in order to seem more likely.
Vietnam is socialist in name only at this point. The private sector employs more people and produces more of the country's GDP than the public sector.
Ah. I guess I’m talking more about the corruption lol. My parents ran away from there and talk a lot of shit about “the fall of Vietnam”
yeah. corruption exists everywhere. even where your parents are now. hating communism from that era is a result of marketing.
You can’t really escape corruption but some places are worse than others and I guess Vietnam has it worse.
So what do you love about Vietnam?
Am Vietnamese American lol. I go there for the scenery and good eats!
A friend of mine went to Vietnam for a few weeks on vacation (lucky bastard), said it was a gorgeous country, very welcoming.
The people there are lovely. The country is beautiful and the food is fantastic. I hope I get to go again.
