What's your problem with Vietnam?

wait, you think it's wrong to have a problem with an authoritarian state as a communist?

brother in Christ, most left coms see Stalinism, and it's progeny as nothing more than fascist masquerading as communists, I mean what actual resemblance do they have to a stateless society run by local governments made of the people who live there, and while I'm not 100% with the outdated anarchism, I can at least recognize that the soviet and the sino state structures aren't communist

You didn't answer my question. Besides to say it's authoritarian (which, so are most forms of communism

not really, communism calls for an abolishment of the state, or are we playing the "everything that calls its self X is X" game?

by that logic, the DEMOCRATIC people's REPUBLIC of Korea must be a democratic republic, the people's REPUBLIC of china must be a Republic, etc...

or do we describe things based on what they act like?
