Thank you for your response :") I spend a lot of times online and just find it so aggravating when the Western Left keep pointing to Vietnam or China as a ideal model of socialism, while they are enjoying lots of cheap goods and food made from heavily exploited workers in both countries. The most vocal opposition I’ve seen so far is, well, Vaush, which is not ideal. I personally could not make any video about the topic to counter this kind of narratives sinceI could be jailed for that, while people like Luna Oi is given platform is precisely because she doesn’t bother to poke the pitchfork at the government.
Aside from that, I want to express my appriciation for your very prominent presence here in Lemmy ,especially here in !vietnam. It must’ve been difficult to find information about Vietnam if you are not influent in Vietnamese and I really respect your effort to actively engage with the community. I’m really sorry that I come off as aggressive in my original comment, I was just really tired to see people who are supposed to be allies keep idolizing such an oppressive regime, like they don’t really care about us, or to see any attacks on a so called “socialist country” as reactionary.
Keep up the good work, @five, and thank you for what you’re doing :") I will try my best on this space too.
Side note: It’s kinda funny that I bumped into !vietnam on slrpnk.net of all places, I thought it would be on lemmygrad or something, but I’m really glad that it’s here.
