Agreeing that LBJ was a Globalist/near Communist, why did he push so hard to escalate our involvement in VietNam?

LBJ was not willing to divorce himself completely from the anti-communist legacy which JFK left for him. Nor did he expect it to be such a long and costly war. I think he would have genuinely preferred a Korea type solution which lasted only three years.
