The Will of the People is manifest in the Party and should not be overwritten by any momentary dalliances or temptations that the People may have.

If you would have accepted the legitimacy of the vote if it went the other way, just say so. The Soviet Union was absolutely an empire per the dictionary definition of the word, btw. So is China, so is the USA.

vietnam has liberalized slower than china but Doi Moi was still very much a transition to capitalism like China. Laos also liberalized but even slower than China and Vietnam, and it remains overwhelmingly a poor agricultural economy though its finally starting to have some rapid growth

Americans have never had the delusion that Vietnam somehow belongs to us, and our involvement in the war was always framed in geopolitical terms. France on the other hand likes to act as if all of its former colonies in the Francophonie owe them something.

when I was in Laos I was pretty shocked at how many French people were working there for NGOs, there was nothing comparable in any other postcolonial country ive been in. also a good chunk of people still speak french there, while it was completely abandoned in vietnam and cambodia
