Happy Fall of Saigon anyone? The Fall of Saigon was the conclusion of the 19-year armed struggle of the Vietnam War on April 30, 1975. North Vietnam was a Communist country while South Vietnam had the Vietnamese First Policy. Ngo Dimh Diem (who was later assassinated in Ho Chi Minh City). One might compare Ngo Dimh Diem to Emperor Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr.
Isn't it ironic that Ho Chi Minh NEVER got honored by the CPP-NPA? Ho's portrait is nowhere to be seen compared to Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, Vladimir Lenin (who hated palamunins), Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong. Ho led a revolt that eventually toppled down Ngo's regime. Ho started out as a pastry chef and became a revolutionary leader. Think about it that Ho himself is more honorable than Sison. Ho stayed in the mountains with his recruits. Do I need to mention Ho succeeded where Joma failed?
In January 1973, the United States and North Vietnam concluded a final peace agreement, ending open hostilities between the two nations. War between North and South Vietnam continued, however, until April 30, 1975, when DRV forces captured Saigon, renaming it Ho Chi Minh City (Ho himself died in 1969).
More than two decades of violent conflict had inflicted a devastating toll on Vietnam’s population: After years of warfare, an estimated 2 million Vietnamese were killed, while 3 million were wounded and another 12 million became refugees. Warfare had demolished the country’s infrastructure and economy, and reconstruction proceeded slowly.
In 1976, Vietnam was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, though sporadic violence continued over the next 15 years, including conflicts with neighboring China and Cambodia. Under a broad free market policy put in place in 1986, the economy began to improve, boosted by oil export revenues and an influx of foreign capital. Trade and diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the U.S. resumed in the 1990s.
In the United States, the effects of the Vietnam War would linger long after the last troops returned home in 1973. The nation spent more than $120 billion on the conflict in Vietnam from 1965-73; this massive spending led to widespread inflation, exacerbated by a worldwide oil crisis in 1973 and skyrocketing fuel prices.
Psychologically, the effects ran even deeper. The war had pierced the myth of American invincibility and had bitterly divided the nation. Many returning veterans faced negative reactions from both opponents of the war (who viewed them as having killed innocent civilians) and its supporters (who saw them as having lost the war), along with physical damage including the effects of exposure to the toxic herbicide Agent Orange, millions of gallons of which had been dumped by U.S. planes on the dense forests of Vietnam.
In 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was unveiled in Washington, D.C. On it were inscribed the names of 57,939 American men and women killed or missing in the war; later additions brought that total to 58,200.
Unlike Joma, Ho died in the line of duty. Ho could've chosen to fly to France or the Netherlands and hide there. Instead, Ho chose to fight. Mao stayed with his troops. Lenin stayed with his troops. Joma fled for the Netherlands and DIED THERE. There's no reason why Communists worldwide should even honor Joma at all!
Vietnam's economic reform or Doi Moi
Lenin later established the no-work-no-pay and controlled free market policies. Eventually, his framework would help create two schools of thought. One is Communism with Chinese Characteristics and the other is Doi Moi. Do Muoi began a series of reforms that established Vietnam's place in Southeast Asia - even if it's a COMMUNIST COUNTRY.
Strange but true that you'll see a Communist flag near Starbucks. You may see Vietnamese youth discussing Communism with their brand-new iPhones. Not contradictory really since the CPV allows Apple factories to be in Vietnam.Vietnam has become an attractive hub for FDI. Do Muoi even met the great statesman Lee Kuan Yew for advice. Do Muoi saw how learning from Singapore could power up the glorious Communist state! Meanwhile, Migraine International is still too focused on Plor Kontemplasyon's death.
Can the IPOT Foundation prove its claims to the University of Economics-Ho Chi Minh City (UEH)? Yes, it's a campus where Communism reigns because it's a STATE UNIVERSITY AFTER ALL. Can the likes of Sonny Africa (maybe call him Sonny AFRITADA now) and Cielo Magulo prove their claims? Can Kayabangan Partylist defeat the CPV's Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU)? I believe a lot of UEH faculty members are using MacPROs in their work. The difference is that the CPV has a more open economy policy where the restrictions are more in LEGISLATION than in CONSTITUTION.
The big issue is that the CPP-NPA and its legal fronts are only crybabies. I can imagine how the Kayabangan Partylist can only get mad if they went to Vietnam and met the HCYU members. Both of them wear blue and carry Communist ideals. I can't imagine how IPOT would discuss economics with the UEH faculty. Just imagine if Afritada and Magulo were to try and give their third-world mentality. The UEH faculty members are practically upgraded versions of IPOT. The HCYU is something that Kayabangan Partylist can only dream of.
The CPP-NPA only thinks about whining and stupidity. They still insist on Sahod Itaas Presyo Ibaba even when that's plain bad accounting. Until the CPP-NPA upgrades their ideals - the CPV is only something they can dream of becoming.
