michael he wasn't always a committed hardline communist. He proposed to model vietnam after america expecting that vietnam would be liberated from the horrible french occupation after WWII. My boyfriend, a rightwinger to the core gave me this information. His uncle was a fighter pilot in WWII who along with his buddies owed their lives to the Vietnamese. Allegedly the French govt controlling Vietnam pre and during WWII was pro-Nazi and they were deplorable to the Vietnamese. They were also cozy with the Japanese. One day, the Japanese turned on the French troops slaughtering the resistors and even those who surrendered. Ho Chi Minh went to China for help against the Japanese and at grave risk to themselves, the Vietnamese helped Americans.
