Also, Ho Chi Minh was ALWAYS a Communist, and in fact was a COMINTERN agent and even a founding member of the French Communist Party back during the 1920s, even attended Stalin’s funeral (and that was BEFORE Stalin got outed in that Secret Speech by Khrushchev). And yes, the North Vietnamese were Communists as well even during that time.

I get so tired of those who said that Ho looked up to George Washington and based his fight on our War of Independence. He was a Moscow Lackey through and through.

Yeah, agreed, and even if Ho DID in fact “base” his code on the Declaration of Independence (which the term “plagiarized” would be more of a fit), 1., that would make him more of a Thomas Jefferson fan, and 2., considering Jefferson sang praises for the Jacobins and similar French Revolutionary groups, and even personally helped draft their infamous “Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen”, and did so even after getting a first-hand look at the results of Bastille Day when the Parisian mobs were literally returning parading body parts of their kills as trophies, that speaks more of an indictment against Thomas Jefferson than any promotion of Ho Chi Minh at all (let’s also not forget that Washington disowned Jefferson after a while, the latter even denouncing Washington as being “an apostate of Liberty.”). And quite frankly, I also have a similar negative reaction when people, explicitly or implicitly, treat Che Guevara as the George Washington of the Cuban Revolution.
