North vietnam were leading he transition to full on 4th generational warefare, something that the US has no idea how to properly fight.

This.
More like the communists wanted more. You just gotta WANT to win and the Americans just wanted to bang Bangkok lady boys. Or so I assume. Plus, everyone of those commies was proud of killing Americans, the Americans were all sad because they were torching villages and having to pull the trigger. Though to be fair, they probably felt bad because they were always catching the Viet-Cong in their jammies.
Did you even watch the documentary? They emphasize that Ho Chi Minh was fundamentally a Nationalist. They were fighting for independence from Western imperial control

It was already united under the French and was a regional power. All he succeeded in doing was killing his own people, getting rid of all the smart/wealthy westerners, and selling out to the Chinks.
North Vietnam already had independence, the United States never threatened to conquer them and was in fact prohibited by treaty from entering North Vietnam. They could have had their independence and peace any time they wanted as the US was fighting to stop them from invading the South not to subjugate their government.
The North Vietnamese were fighting to conquer South Vietnam in the name of unifying their people under communism. Exactly the same rhetoric used by Kim Il Sung during his attempted conquest of South Korea.
You can argue that the United States shouldn't have gotten involved or that the South Vietnamese government was so corrupt that it deserved to be conquered. But if you don't concede that North Vietnam were the aggressors then you're full of shit.

Not him, but like he said, there was some strong nationalism in NVA at the time, almost National-Socialism if you like.
They were so pissed at "whitey" that they didn't even cared if the South was their own thing, they wanted the whole Vietnam.

>Land reform in North Vietnam was accomplished from 1954 to 1956 by confiscating and redistributing land owned by landlords to poor and landless peasants. This program resulted in executions of "landlords and reactionaries," estimated most reliably at 13,500 killed, and resistance, including rioting, in the countryside.

Yeah, they were. When you invade and use force to make people submit to your government you're the aggressor. You can argue that your aggression is justified but if you try to claim that your hand was forced by the government you're attacking then you're full of shit.
nope
read a book on logic because your argument does not follow
funny how argentina chose by themselves to stop being a relevant country, or any country at all. at least you still have B.A. and some art.
the only country i can think of that faced such decadence over such a long time is Qing china, and still china managed to come back.

He fucked the economy.
He kicked out the French who brought education, money, and food and instead sucked Chink cock and is the reason they are raping the country again like they did for hundreds of years before.
I probably hate Americans more than anyone else here, I would not hesitate to straight up KILL every American poster here, man or woman, adults and children, if I saw them on the streets. I would curbstomp them until their faces are nothing but MUSH and steal their wallets so nobody could identify their mangled, broken bodies, leaving their families in extreme emotional pain. Then I would visit their funeral, shit in their casket in font of their own beloved ones and then kill every single one of the funeral guests because I would assume they are American as well.
no, they weren't. when separation isn't legal or moral, the police action isn't aggression.
in the case of vietnam, the first aggression was from france, and it wasn't fully reverted with the division. the unity of an independent vietnam was a just cause and hence it wasn't a war of aggression.
go watch the series again.
iran just declared the US armed forces are terrorists, we are literally the bad guys

You mean like when the British attempted to use force to stop the American Revolution? Or when the French used force to try and stop the Vietnamese revolution?
>the unity of an independent vietnam was a just cause and hence it wasn't a war of aggression.
Tell that to the Montanyards. They aren't ethnically Vietnamese and they fought against the North Vietnamese invasion. Now they live as a persecuted minority in communist Vietnam.
I think a bunch of Vietnamese people went to France over the decades after independence.
Dishonest image

>Inb4 "hurr durr muh domino effect fallacy"
You have NO fucking idea if the fall of Vietnam would've led to a domino effect of communism all across South-East Asia. You'd have had ZERO fucking clue whether it would have happened or not, and we only know other countries didn't succumb to communism because after the Vietnam debacle, Russia and China realized fighting a proxy war against America in Vietnam was WAY too expensive, and they couldn't sustain another proxy war like that in Indonesia or India. Imagine being Lyndon B. Johnson, and your military advisers are telling you "By the way, if Vietnam falls to communism, next might be India, and all of the rest of SE Asia". You ask them "Are you sure?" and they say "No, we don't know for certain, but it's highly likely". Do you just sit there and let Russia take over Vietnam with your dick in your hands, or do you say "fuck that, we have to fight back"?
I really like how you leave out the French colonialism and history of subjugation. I really like how you leave out the fact Ho Chi was pro-American and was SEEKING to work with America

communism good
Ah, yes, raping and torturing your innocent Southern neighbors because now you suddenly have tanks and assault rifles and artillery that you got by paying for it with Russian blood money.
Tell me, what would have happened AFTER the communist unification of Vietnam? You think the Russians would've just slunk away into the night? Or do you think they would've gone "Hey, you only won because we let your borrow our guns and ammunition. Now it's time for you to pay your debts"?
The way the Russians operated in the 50's and 60's were VERY much like a fucked up mob boss preying on the weak. Any country that couldn't stand up for itself got the full Russian mobster treatment (read: Afghanistan).
>actually believing SVA govt would be able to prosper

what did happen was the open ports to soviet shipping, military and civil. ussr was much more concerned with the nuclear blackmail and looking for partners around the third world.
they kept providing support for vietnam (same as cuba for example) until 1991, after which the occupation of laos/cambodia collapsed.
i partially agree in the case of afghanistan, but that brother was retarded in any case.

Actually, South Korea was a god awful shithole to live in after the war. The North actually prospered economically. South Korea's advancement is a relatively recent phenomena.
yet you still lost
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's what the south was doing by asking the US for help. Everyone memes the US as the bad guy in this war because of the baby killer memes made by communist sympathisers. He'll they still use that video of that commie fuck getting his brains blown out as evidence if how evil they are even though it was AVRN who did it and for a good reason.
tfw the more I learn about history the more left wing I become
I'm now beginning to understand why universities have a "leftist" bias, it's hard to learn about the history of America and still want to defend it.
>1984 references now maybe people will think I'm smart
... and then enslave them with communism. BRAVO.
>HERE'S 40 BOOKS ON THE 6 GORILLION
>Imblygin Vietnam wanted anything to do with America OR Russia
The Vietnamese PEOPLE just wanted both sides to fuck off and let them do their thing. The NORTH wanted to rule everything and they erroneously thought the Russians would help them do that at no cost, with no hidden fees. The SOUTH were getting fucked by the North in the beginning, so they kinda-sorta reluctantly opened up to military aid from America, but were concerned that after the war, America would stick around just like Russia and try to run them as a puppet state.
The only reason Russia didn't completely fuck Vietnam up the ass is because:
1. The war left them so broke that they had to call for a sort of truce with America, otherwise there'd just be nothing left at all in their treasury
2. Now there was so much national pressure to fuck off out of SE Asia that the Russians had no choice but to silently abandon Vietnam
Vietnam to Russia was like some giant Russian construction project that got left abandoned, leaving all the little cranes and shovels and cement mixers behind because "fuck it, we're out of here".
Happens, takes time. North Korea was a pretty bad shithole in the 70's and 80's but the famine in the 90's caught the worlds attention and is magically the only moment in history we took note of their living conditions.
You can keep lying and coping though.
I'm becoming left wing but I'm still redpilled on the jews. lots of early communists used 'jews' and 'capitalist' interchangeably
/his/ is "more left-wing" than the vast majority of Yea Forums, but it's still pretty solidly in the "right-wing" camp. If anything, /his/ is actually pretty apolitical or centrist.
As you get deeper into history, you'll soon realize that morality is relative, and whatever it is the US did, there's a VERY high probability the opposition would have done the exact same thing in their shoes. The secret to learning history is unironically first learning human nature. I'm not even meme'ing. Once you learn human nature, history becomes very, very predictable. It becomes less "memorizing dates and facts", and more "there are several sources that say so-and-so happened, now I have to go in my little mental simulation computer and imagine how it actually played out, based on what I know about how humans act, and how these humans acted in particular based on their cultural/financial/social/economic/whatever circumstances.
I used to be all about the US doing no wrong, and then I swung over to "The US is ebil!!!", and then I swung over to "Meh, the US is just a country run by humans doing what all humans are won't to do".
With that being said, I just want to say...FUCK NIGGERS, FUCK MODS, FUCK KIKES, FUCK SPICS, AND MOST OF ALL; FUCK. JANNIES.
Yea Im thinking he's based
>so they kinda-sorta reluctantly opened up to military aid from America

no they did not you moron, they kept sending money and arms. source:

Clearly your doing it wrong then because it looks like your ignoring is at least white washing history that is inconvenient to commie faggots (just like universities). If people were truly learning history they would never advocate for such a whitey ideology.
>too stupid to know when to use your/you're

GENTLEMEN, THIS IS IDEOLOGY MANIFEST
> just a country run by humans doing what all humans are won't
now now not even offensive realists would agree with that.
you don't have to be communist to appreciate that the nature of world politics is two-fold: security and capitalism. now once you understand that, then things become really clearer.
>The US is ebil!
no. should you defend it? it depends. should you defend its participation in the vietnam war? idk. did the us get wealthier or more secure after that?
>What is reading comprehension for 500, Alex
Russia abandoned Vietnam as in to say they didn't have a puppet grip on it the way they intended on doing. Donating money and arms for Vietnam's allegiance is literally campaign contributions-tier propaganda for "please continue being my third-world gf, we haven't forgotten you, please continue being my ally, look how much money and guns we're giving ;_;".
The equivalent of sending some girl a box of chocolates every month so that she won't forget you, hopefully when you need a booty call sometime in the future (but secretly she just eats the chocolates rolling her eyes and doesn't even say thanks).
Probably but who gives a fuck. America is still the best place on earth.
>America is still the best place on earth.

that was really dumb. yikes.
that report is really short, if you are truly interested in the subject. and you can't possibly say the source is commie.
There was actually no feasible, sustainable way for the US to achieve its goal when the north and south would never come to an agreement of remaining separate entities.
US had no way of actually winning outside of invading the north, which would cause Russia and/or China to sperg out

HMMMMMMMMMM, GEE, LET'S SEE.
Imagine you're Lyndon B. Johnson, and Russia just moved in on Northern Vietnam. You have two options; let the Russians continue to invade Vietnam, then, possibly, Indonesia succumbs to communism, then Malaysia, then Thailand, and finally, India. A communist fucking India, Jesus Christ. Your other option is the rally the troops, prepare for war, and resist the Russian """""liberation""""" of Vietnam so that the dominoes get stopped right in their tracks.
At this point, some dumb philosophy major says something like "the domino effect is a fallacy", to which actual not-brainlets will say "wtf, no it's not". Let's not kid ourselves, the domino effect is ABSOLUTELY fucking real. Wow, who knew? When your country is surrounded by other communist countries, your country becomes heavily influenced to become communist itself? Wow, what a shocker! How can this be!?
Lyndon B. Johnson had NO fucking idea that the other SE Asian countries wouldn't fall to communism. As far as he's concerned, if Vietnam fell, well, that'd make Indonesia want to join, and fighting both Indonesia AND Vietnam AND Russia AND China is a lot harder than just fighting Vietnam, Russia, and China. Lyndon B. Johnson didn't even really have a choice. There's no fucking way he couldn't been like "Oh, yeah, don't worry, I can tell the future with my magical powers, and if I don't intervene, everything will be totally cool". He wasn't fucking magic. It was either enter the war and try to keep SE Asia democratic, or risk losing India to communism because he decided to sit back and let the world turn red. If you were him, you wouldn't exactly have a choice either. At the time, Vietnam was very much do or die. No one had the luxury of foresight on their hands.

Yeah, the Vietnamese still didn't give a fuck about Russia, you brainlet. They just accepted the guns and money and fucked off to do their own thing. They had no special allegiance or loyalty beyond the material. They wanted the guns and money, and in return, they let Russia move through their territory to attack Cambodia? What a fucking deal.
If it was America giving them the arms and money, Vietnam wouldn't even have fucking blinked. All they cared about were the guns and the money.

even if that were true and wasn't South Vietnamese propaganda to convince America to intervene on their side, which it mostly was, why does that mean America has to join the war on the other side of the fucking planet? why do we spend hundreds of billions telling other people how to run their countries when we have problems here at home that the money could've better been spent on?
yep, here he is guys. this is definitely going into my cringe compilation
Not in the slightest. Communism remains an absolute failure as are most of the people who worship it. Fact remains that the US did the right thing and helped to defend South Vietnam when it called for aid against the murderers in the North. You would know this if you actually learnt history.
ok it has become stale. doesn't concern the question of aggression. good night, please read the report i sent you.

>In another example, a memo from the Defense Department under the Johnson Administration listed the reasons for American persistence:

I rate Presidents via two criteria: personal virtue and policies that benefit the American people.
Most only fall into one category, but you get the rare Washington or Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt. Nixon was a demonstrably shitty person and an absolutely conniving son of a bitch politician. But you can't tell me his policies didn't greatly benefit the American people during his time in office.
He was a good President, but a shitty person. Still can't believe the madman actually sabotaged peace talks with the North Vietnamese just to get a better shot a winning the election the absolute MAD LAD.

This. Most dumb cunts still analyze historical events based on hindsight which is nothing short of retarded. You know the outcome because you live in the future - they didn't. It's that simple, and to expect them to foresee the consequences of their actions is even more retarded. What's ironic is these are the same people that have no answers for what to do in current conflicts. North Korea? Iran? Iraq? Yemen? Venezuela? For eg there's too much evidence to suggest that Iran acquiring nukes will be far more of a threat to the world than North Korea has ever been. So it makes logical sense to invade them, but who fuck knows what would happen as a result? Living with the consequences of your actions is literally part of life, and we shouldn't not act just because the outcome won't be beneficial to everyone.
All I learned from this series do far is that the ARVN were retarded fags who deserved to lose
JFK at least had genuine intentions. LBJ is a complete piece of shit as both a person and President. He's as conniving as Nixon but 1000x less competent. Fucking piece of shit responsible for niggers and the state of modern urban centers as Democratic Meccas that are complete shitholes. "Great Society" my fucking ass.
>communism will make everyone poor and destitute!
meanwhile China and Vietnam have some of the fastest growing economies on the planet, whereas Russia went from world superpower under communism to a complete shithole with gdp in utter freefall under capitalism. modern Russia under capitalism literally has a smaller gdp than South Korea
>b-but... Venezuela...
also had a rapidly growing economy until US placed massive sanctions on it.
Are the ARVN the most pathetic armed force group to ever walk this planet? They're damn near close to Australian army tier.
Are you gunna bother responding to anything I actually said?

Fucking insectoid
Free market is what you're looking for. Crony capitalism can be just as bad as breadline communism.
China and Vietnam have some of the most free markets in the world with a ruling "communist" regime that doesn't give a shit as long as it retains authority.
Russia is an oligarchy where a few government connected billionaires basically rule as princes. It's more medieval than "capitalist."
Venezuela's economy was tied to oil revenue and was "growing" as long as oil prices stayed high. Fracking put a giant dent in that.
if by "just cause" you mean raping and torturing the southern vietnamese because of your shiny new russian weapons, then yeah, sure
>slavery
uh... you realize America was built upon slavery as well right? are you actually this retarded? there are arguments to be made against China, but that isn't one of them because it applies equally to the west.
>No longer bolstered by the production power of a hundred different puppet states

>Implying Venezuela wasn't already suffering far before American interventionism
certainly Venezuela wasn't perfect but they were doing quite well for a long time. feel free to look up the relevant information yourself (but you probably won't)

>Hurr durr you dumb for entering vietnam
who are you quoting? I never once said that or implied it

I understand the reasoning of the American government to get involved I just think their rationale for doing so was pretty garbage.

The ones they like pretty much get to do whatever they want. They are not completely "free" but have far more freedom than companies in other countries.
Are you familiar with the French colonialism of Vietnam and how it shaped their view of foreigners? Do you honestly think the North Vietnamese cause was just to rape and torture south Vietnamese. Why do you have such a comical black and white view of the world? There is such a thing as nuance you know
>Christian fundamentalists
Do you know how I can tell you own a fedora?
damn... I guess I should move to austria now
imagine voting for democrats after the shit they pulled in vietnam

The fuck? Slavery that's happening NOW you fuck wit. How was this supposed to be an argument?
>No longer bolstered by the production power of a hundred different puppet states
Which "puppet states" are you talking about that no longer help the US economically through trade. Also last time I checked the US didn't implode because they couldn't force peasants to work under threat of death.
>certainly Venezuela wasn't perfect but they were doing quite well for a long time. feel free to look up the relevant information yourself (but you probably won't)
Did quite well trading with the US and exporting OIL which their entire economy basically relied on, then the Oil crisis hit and it all went down hill from their. Government mismanagement didn't help and being corrupt assholes to their own people gets you sanctioned who would have guessed?
They did rape and torture the South Vietnamese and Hmong that they blamed for collaborating with the US. Whether or not it was their "cause" is irrelevant.
is that really what you pulled out of that chart I posted. that I'm implying you should move to Austria? why are zoomers such irredeemable retards?
Communists deserve to hang. It should be the only exception to the first amendment.
You are missing the part where he raped and murdered his way south because he just loved his people so damn much.
It beats the American military..
There is nothing wrong with faith
But organized religion has led to more atrocity than anything else mankind has ever invented
Using god to justify genocides, rapes and enslavement
The French literally did not allow the Vietnamese to practice their religion, burned temples and attacked monks and many other terrible things
The French are subhuman
Propaganda
At the worst he treated the south vietnamese fascist government as the subhuman wannabe-french aristocrats they were
There was a reason in the late FIFTIES the US knew that the south was too corrupt to possibly win
>They did rape and torture the South Vietnamese and Hmong
No one here is claiming otherwise you gigantic retard. The treatment of civilian populations by the communist regime was awful.
>Whether or not it was their "cause" is irrelevant.
The topic of conversation here is weather the North Vietnamese are justified their cause is very relevant
>"Uh, hehe, ackshually AMERICA was founded on, uh, s-slaves so, uh--"
Yeah, I'll tell you how it works. America needs cheap labor, so they have a bidding war between various nations who can offer cheap labor. Mexico says they'll make jeans for 100 cents. Guatemala says they'll make jeans for 50 cents. Chine and Vietnam say they'll make jeans for 5 cents. America chooses China and Vietnam. How does China and Vietnam manage to lower their prices so drastically? Slave labor.
Who's in the wrong here? America for buying cheap labor, or China and Vietnam for providing it? The objective answer is "both", but if you really have to choose, China and Vietnam are fucking evil compared the America.
Like, seriously, how can you call America the devil and suck China's dick when China is ACTUALLY the fucking devil? Does that not seem like a dissonance to you? Do you realize just how much fucking worse China is then America when it comes to ethics and morality? Like, yeah, America has its fair share of shitty moments, like any other big country, but how the fuck can you suck China's dick while it completely BLOWS America out of the water when it comes to "number of evil acts committed"? It fucking blows my mind that you could think like that and not see the hypocrisy.
>No longer bolstered by the production power of a hundred different puppet states
>you just described America
America TRADES with places like Mexico, Japan, Germany, and China. The Soviets just straight up puppeted Kazhakstan, Uzbekistan, Moldovia, etc. into being living wagie factories for their war efforts.
>Venezuela
No, perhaps it is you who should be looking up how badly they were doing even before America showed up, you fucking dunce.
Why did he invade the South? He had the North why did he insist on killing his own people?
>religion has the biggest genocides
Actually it would be the commies and Genghis Kahn. It's really weird that you've been indoctrinated to hate Christians as much as you have. I wonder who fed you all of that....
defend this
Argentina was relevant due to being a country with no mayor role in both world wars which means you get to supply to both sides and getting those sweet gibs. The moment Europe didn't need anymore of their shit, the just slowly started going into a slippery slope.
>Why did he invade the South?
The whole goal of Ho Chi was to reunite Vietnam and expel foreign invaders. Have you read anything on the Vietnam war? How do you not know this?
Ho Chi Minh wasn't even a communist, he was an Ethnic Nationalist with a face of Communism because they were the only ones supporting him. Had Woodrow Wilson had said to the French "Hey man get outta Vietnam" he would have been a full on Westaboo Capitalist. Le Duan on the other hand...
>accurate statistics in 1891 to ~1910
>comparable population numbers and density
>niggers
misleading tbqh, still agree with you
>Why did he invade the South?
Because two reasons
The south was the major economic position of his country
And he didn't want to split the country like north and south korea where one half was liberate and one was still that same oligarchy of foreign interests actively trying to sabotage him
It'd be like if your house was arbitrarily split in half and then a dude appeared in the other half who attempted to kill you every day
I agree with 100% of this.
Literally russia's mad attack dog. They gave him a bunch of shiny new weapons and let go of the leash, and like the evil despot he was, the power went to his head and he went crazy raping and torturing the South to his heart's content. All this while the russians sat back in their chairs and laughed.
Ho Chi Minh didn’t really care for communism, he would have chosen anything if it meant an independent Vietnam. It just so happened that communism was the only ideology at the time that even accepted that.
>famines count as organized genocide
Well then royalists are the devil
>the ends justify the means
Imagine unironically thinking this.
>French colonialism
which made vietnam BETTER OFF

Why the fuck do you have this comical view of Ho Chi Minh?

yes, a natural famine lmao

Yeah if only South Korea could be the marvelous utopia like North Korea is. Those meddling Americans! REEEEEE!

Where do you faggots come from? You already have your own shitty board on cripplechan, stay there. The worst part is you're either an ugly tranny with mpb or some söylent low test numale. The commies would have either executed you or put you in a labor camp.
>he's unironically a communist
why do you bootlickers enjoy being poor and enslaved
I live in Switzerland which is the most capitalist country on earth.
I work in a warehouse.
With my salary I could buy a fucking city in your shithole country.
How fucking dumb do you have to be to be against free markets?
We need a violent military force to free other nations from communism and social democratic bullshit.
This is a good thing.
The only think pinochet did wrong is he wasn't free market enough.
How did the French make Vietnam better off in particular? What specific aspect of French colonialism do you find made Vietnam better off?
>this entire thread
Jesus christ Americans are brainwashed as fuck, it's actually surreal to see. literal NPCs
Except it was more like
Russia: "Hey we need you to grow food and we're gonna buy your farms and work them" and then the kulaks burned down the farms, horded the grain and shot farmers and civvies because they'd make less money, which resulted in 12+ million dying of famine
China: Post-japanese invasion destroying a tremendous amount of both farmland and farmers and the industrial farmers fleeing the nation burning everything they could
Though the chinese did slaughter landlords
Which was justified
South Korea has "reprogramming camps" where they torture people, a tremendous impoverished population, literal police state and is all but a vassal-state to the US
And tremendous abject poverty and violence towards the vietnamese ethnic majority
I can smell the newfaggotry on you a mile away zoomer
No argument again from the marxist bootlicker.

citation needed
soviet propaganda doesn't count
If the Russians allowed allowed people to grow their own food and left people alone, a massive abundance of food would be grown like which happened in capitalist western europe and USA.
You faggots have no rebuttal to this.

hmm.....

This guy is ACTUALLY claiming north korea is a better place to live than south korea and that south korea is the one with horrible prison camps.
and you wonder why nobody takes you seriously.
>Why do you poorly strawman everyone you meet?
Evidently I didn't strawman at all, In fact I hit the nail on the head with you since you IMMEDIATELY replied to my post called me a communist based on what I wrote. Keep thinking in left-right paradigms retard.

>You call americans brainwashed for thinking communism and communist Vietnam was bad
I'm calling you brainwashed because you view Minh as some sort of comic book villain who was completely in the wrong while America was 100% justified. I'm calling you brainwashed because you are literally incapable of nuance. The fucking retard rationale of all your posts is just staggering

Yeah, unless you wanted to go to college or any other secondary education in Johannesberg, where they would chase you away or imprison you
Your only "rebuttal" is a shill who is okay with ethnostates and downplays or outright ignores any information that actually supports the historical fact that foreigners in power don't give a shit about local population
Going from living in huts to living in huts made of sheetmetal and now having to worry about being killed for fun and treated as a second-class citizen is not "improved living standards"
Likewise the history of China and Russia before the USSR and PRC formed was incredibly brutal for the peasant class and became objectively better after the oligarchy was overthrown
>you are from leftypol aren't you?
no. if you think that anyone disagreeing with you is some kind of coordinated leftypol brigade then you need to be put on medication
>a tremendous impoverished population
compared to north korea?
are you insane?
>In fact I hit the nail on the head
But you didn't.
You wonder like a retard where all of these right wingers are coming from "AH IT BE BE MUH KOCH BROTHERS TURNING POINT USA PROPAGANDA"
What a retard.
Go back to leftypol
Just another s-word documentary that tries to portray g-words as some sort of a-word a-words when really they were and still are a bunch of s-words c-word g-words.
But all the real c-words are just j-word k-words and they are pulling all the strings. Thusly, kill whitey.

He wasn't a "comic book villain" but he was definitely evil and most certainly terrorized the south
There are actual leftpol communists in this thread.
if there were a war in america you can guarantee that the far leftists and liberals would unite on one side, and the far rightists and conservatives on the other. the reality is that there really is only 2 sides: equality vs freedom
15% of the population is BELOW the poverty line, with nearly half of the population sitting at just-above or AT the poverty line in korea
And if you end up in a state where you can't afford food/shelter, the state in SK does NOTHING to help you
It's worse in Japan, where the homeless population is routinely chased out of the parks they live in or outright killed by """""thugs""""" and the government turns a blind eye
The propaganda in media outlets in the west is so warped and fabricated that I'm very interested at this point what North Korea is actually like
It's probably not "good" but probably not the insane parody nightmare-state depicted
Just like Iraq and Libya
>he was definitely evil and most certainly terrorized the south
So you don't think he had a valid justification whatsoever?
Yea except we're not in a war we're on an anime fucking image board you underage faggot
For the record I'm not a communist, but I will point out things that the USSR actually did better than current-year america
Right now our biggest problem is how much we're spending on shit that doesn't matter when things that could vastly improve life for americans would take up very little of that funding, but never find any of it every year
youtube.com
Yeah you really need to watch this and read some fucking books. I don't even know where to start with your ahistorical analysis.
>literally did not happen
Literally did happen.
I know you brainlets like to ignore history.
The farm collectivization resulted in a massive famine.
People were not allowed to leave their plots of land and were forced to make useless steel that broke apart.
>unless you wanted to go to college or any other secondary education in Johannesberg
I never said it was great, it was just MUCH MUCH better than they had before.
It's like you're saying "how dare you give me all of this food, technology, high living standards which I didn't have before, without letting me go to your colleges too"
delusional
>Your only "rebuttal" is a shill who is okay with ethnostates
Ethnostates are good, it's non-ethnostates that decline into shitholes.
AltHype is 100% correct about this and relies on nothing but BASIC RESEARCH.
Try and debunk the data he researched.
You won't be able to.
>foreigners in power don't give a shit about local population
KEK
AltHype makes this exact same point but explains that it doesn't matter because they still brought a massive increase in living standards.
>Going from living in huts to living in huts made of sheetmetal
My god you're an absolute brainlet who just makes shit up. I kind of feel bad for you.
>bringing roads, railways, medicine, industry, higher living standards, increase in caloric intake is "metal huts"
dumb dumb dumb
>incredibly brutal for the peasant class
It was much better than life under mao that's for sure.
Why is Taiwan doing so better than your slave state china you love so much?
Why do you hate high living standards?
Southern VN was an independent state for most of human history, it only got sort of unified when the Nguyen kings genocided the Cham. Even now the north and south are pretty different culturally and morally
>I never said it was great, it was just MUCH MUCH better than they had before.

The real problem is the USA spends TOO MUCH.

>healthcare
What sort of healthcare? In what ways did it benefit Vietnam specifically? Higher Life expectancy? Lower infant mortality?
Lol read your post back to yourself, dum dum.
Roman Empire was very multi racial in its growth and height of power. Are you seriously dumb enough to think they were some kind of white ethnostate?
>multiracial
Get real buddy. Almost everyone was vaguely Mediterranean/arabic Which isn't white, but multiracial? Lol
Also more about the fact that it fell apart when the real diversity came. Aka whites. Diversity literally split it in two.
the economy doesn't need to "grow"
it has been "growing" since the 80s
but that growth has been entirely in markets that do nothing for the majority of the population
The GDP goes up, but 50% of americans are a missed paycheck away from being classified as impoverished
We spent 560 billion (declared) dollars on Iraq in 2017, with a requested 20-40% increase in spending but can't afford to fix Flint's water supply
We're going to spend 2-3 TRILLION over the next three years building new nukes but can't afford single-payer healthcare
