Hi Jon,
I think what Blum is getting at is that, if the US had given Ho Chi
Minh the assistance he asked for, rather than launching its full
force in prevention of Vietnam's self determination, Vietnam may
very well have developed a system of government never seen before,
with the US's invaluable freedoms but without it's clearly
inequitable economic system. Instead, you're right, it's communist,
with all the bad, and some of the good, that comes with Communism.
Best,
Mark

had achieved its main purpose: preventing what might have been the

all, some kind of communist.
I may be missing the point, but isn't Vietnam's governmentSTILL
communist?
