Noam Chomsky on U.S. policy towards Iran

Communism and State/Corporate- Capitalism is both authoritarian in nature, and neither produce "a better life."

Never forget the operation ajax!

Oh give it up..Ho wasn't fond of Stalin but that doesn't mean he didn't emulate some his way of getting things done..Ho was mostly miffed about his friends like Bukharin being purged.

Ho and General Vo Nguyen Giap certainly admired Stalins methods for political purging in 1945.

So Phan Boi Chau just magically was captured by the French then..like many others who associated with Ho Chi Min..

Give it up comrade.

Right, so that means he's a Stalinist. Which means the US marines are just like the Red Army becuase they both have guns, and point them at people, and shoot them.
Your second point is bullshit, the Viet minh purged no one in 1945, they were busy fighting the japenese.
Your final point is fantasy, the reason so many people who fought with Ho were captured by the french was because...wait for it...THEY FOUGHT THE FRENCH, SO THE FRENCH WENT AFTER THEM, AND PUT THEM IN JAIL!! MAYBE!!!

Wow just wow ..no the communist never purged anyone after the august revolution in AUGUST of 1945 you are right..

Yeah or maybe it is backed up by the french who in the 1980s proved that they made a payment in gold to Nguyen Ai Quoc.Who then turned around and used the money to protest the arrest not on behalf on the VNQDD but rather what would become his communist party of Vietnam. Who then usurped the nationalist movement for his Marxist one.




Yeah the communist never

Got any Historical sources for those two lovely fairy tales? Feel free to link me. Until then, i'll consider them to be bullshit.

The Commies didn't have TIME to purge anyone in 45, they were too busy running away from general gracey after he captured Saigon. Secondly, Ho didn't USURP the nationalist movement, the nationalist movement betrayed the Vietnamese people by siding with the landlords, the french and the catholic church. That was the reason why the Communists were so popular.

Yeah go to the institute of East Asian studies at the the University of California at Berkley they have lots of papers on it. One of their old members Stephen Morris researched it extensively

Oh I thought they were too busy fighting the Japanese? No the communist consolidated their hold on power up to 1950s so it wasn't just 1945.

Oh yeah so how did the communist handle this betrayal? Surley not in ways that would cause a mass exodus from the country.

Every single post you've made on this video has been partly or wholly fictional. When I've stated this in my replies, you simply invent new ones.

No you simply refuse to accept details of history that you didn't know about or that your Marxist filter in your brain will not allow you to see.

I am done here. I studied this as an undergrad and worked with Vietnamese geologist who filled me in about the nuance I know my stuff.

Heck I even have some basalt from Khe sanh 4 feet away right now.

Communism is dead and Vietnam is abandoning it bit by bit every day as the people demand a better life..
