Where Chinese Communists And Vietnamese Communists Got It Right, Where Filipino Communists Got It WRONG

The recent COVID-19 crisis has proven a lot of stuff WRONG about the Philippines. But it's not just the Philippines that got proven wrong - also the Filipino COMMUNISTS have been proven wrong. I remembered citing the incredible irony that Filipino communists LOVE communism but hate China. The recent virtue signals of Filipino communists about "lower-ranked" Vietnam and their COVID-19 success has me wanting to bash them even more. Yup, I'd like to talk about where Chinese and Vietnamese communists got it RIGHT and where Filipino communists got it WRONG.

Consider the history of both the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). No, Vietnam is no longer lower-ranked as Filipino communists would want to make it out to be. In fact, Vietnam's economy weathers through the COVID-19 storm. Instead, we can read that Vietnam has now defeated the Philippines. What's making COMMUNIST Vietnam defeat the supposedly democratic Philippines? Like China, Vietnam has been very accepting of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in spite of it being a communist country. Both Vietnam and China as communist countries are FDI friendly. They are making their local companies face serious competition - which in turn has made their local companies do better. Chinese companies like Huawei have become a global communist brand because it faced off against foreign competitors such as Sony and Apple. 

Meanwhile, members of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) are just whiners. I remembered the time Toady Casino wrote an article on Rappler against constitutional reform. One of his craziest stances is that opening the Philippines more to FDI will result in "foreign invasion". Neri Colmenares would want us to believe that FDIs will drive local investors out of business. The Filipino communists constantly cry out for this and that but don't want to open up the economy. They cry out against the COVID-19 debt but wouldn't want to open up the economy to foreign investors. All they do is whine and whine instead of having solutions. They really are so nonsensical that a global meeting of communists would just laugh at them. Let's face it that CCP and CPV are beating the CPP in almost every way. Why? Both CCP and CPV are embracing capitalism more than socialism. Deng Xiaoping called it socialism with Chinese characteristics. In short, both the CCP and CPV may send you over to the concentration camp if you're not going to do your work. 

It should be laughable at how CCP and CPV are getting economics right. Besides, it's CAPITALISM and not socialism that gave us heroes during COVID-19. Both China and Vietnam may identify themselves as communists while their friendliness to FDI has made a difference. Meanwhile, CPP will just be another laughingstock. CCP and CPV have opened up to evolution while CPP can't be taken seriously at all. CCP and CPV have even allowed FDIs from DEMOCRATIC countries to invest with them. Meanwhile, CPP is still dreaming of that "pambansang industriya" which will NEVER happen but they still hope someday it'll happen. CCP and CPV got rid of that notion and made themselves big time communists.
