Any Vietnamese here? (lemmygrad.ml)

Even though our country is a communist country, it's pretty hard to find any Marxist, or even someone that really understand what communism actually is among the average people. So I'm trying to find out if there's any Vietnamese lurking here at Lemmygrad. Show yourselves comrades!

The people like to connect our country's past suffering to communism to shit on it and say that we are better off right now because we get to have whatever the fuck Westerners have.

The Vietnam War only 50 years ago? Have people already forgotten? What do the older generations say about that?

Do people still long for the American dream after having been bombed back into the Stone Age? Sprayed with biological and chemical weapons? Massacred?

Can't really speak for the older people, but as I see it, most just kinda don't care, the past is the past. People with money keep sending their child to America for education, say our country is not good enough, you can't have a good life in Vietnam. It's like they would rather live under the mercy of capitalism than fight agaisnt the big bad. Western propaganda has truly seeped through every corner.
