Vietnam is now no different from any one-party state in Africa or Asia, a state which simply seeks to preserve its power and corruption wealth, while maintaining stability and steadily developing the nation. Unlike Africa though, Vietnam the intelligence and energy of Vietnamese behind it.
In fact, we can say for our foreign relations, that this post-Soviet one-party socialism is preferable - as there is NO globalist or religious-radical component to it. It’s all about materialism, money and nation-building. The standard model of diplomacy in the 18th and 19th centuries.
One could even argue WE are more leftist-ideological than they are.
Excellent post on all counts.
If Vietnam minds their own knitting that is a win for everybody—and yeah we should learn from that.
International Karens are everybody’s enemy.
