Why were they struggling to survive in Vietnam? Could it be because they had devastating wars forced upon them first to kick out a thieving colonial regime and then to defend against a brutal foreign invader and then afterwards facing sanctions and sabotage? No, it must be because the government did their best to organise the economy in favour of the masses.

Yeah, plus they essentially nuked Chinese support by liberating Cambodia. They were the people that stopped Pol Pot. America and China both backed him. When you look at the history, Vietnam has pretty much never been the bad guys.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
