Hey dork, I never said that North Vietnam was not a dictatorship! I said they we the US invaded this country against the will of the people in VIETNAM for the sake of some bullshit propaganda our leadership in the US were preaching at the time. We violated them as a country and they succeeded in whipping our ass. What I said which always go over your light head was that it doesn't matter what the government form is, it is how the leaders manage or dictate the country that determines whether right or left wing policies result. As I explaned the difference between left and right and you likely ignored it, I won't bother to repeat. Have a nice stupid day

" Haven't you been saying Communists are rightists? Now they're leftist? "

Right wing or conservative is a term used to describe those who are resistant to change and who want to keep things as they are or go back to the way they were. That's why present day communists in Russia are said to be right wing or conservative. In this country it's just the opposite.
