vietnam was never communist
it was fully nationalist from the beginning

Ho Chi Minh even quoted declaration of independence.

so anglos went hey they're just like us trying to throw the shackles off a greater power for two seconds before going well let's just try plundering them anyways and then viola you had the vietnam war which lasted for 20 years

After the war was over there isn't any hard feelings but during that time vietnam was vilified for being "communist"

this is the same playbook with China right now except China is like 10x Vietnam's size
