If this were true, we would not have been stuck fighting in Nam during the late 1960's. Duh.You know why he started his revolution in 1941? Because he was a coward, that's why. In 1941, France was gone. Conquered by the Nazis. He had no real opposition to fight against. And he didn't give his people freedom and democracy, he gave them communism. He's not close to a George Washington, he's more like a Lenin.
No, you can't. You need to be a complete moron to support communism. And a psychopath.
You haven't been paying attention have you.
Communism is not just a flawed ideology. It's a life/nation-destroying, freedom-taking, anti-logical (so not just illogical, anti-logical) ideology whose scars can be seen all accross Eastern Europe and East Germany even today. And they are deep scars.
So yes. He should be considered a psychopath and a moron.

We are only judging communism on the results of its implementation. Ho chi min probably chose communism because one of its intended principles was equality, a principle that no communist government has so far been able to show it can promote equality.

I don't understand what you're getting at? The US involvement in Vietnam had nothing to do with France. It was to support anti-communist forces fighting against the communist forces. The communist forces being North vietnam and the anti-communist being Not-north vietnam (South vietnam).
Ho chin Mingh was a moron. You need to understand this. Even with no real French military presence, he failed to conquer and take all of what was then French Indochina or even what was considered to be traditionally Vietnam regions. Because he was incompetent. And to compensate for his incompetence, he built a huge cult of personality around him.
I think that the Vietnam War has been over since 30 April, 1975, That's over 38 years ago.
I was in Vietnam in 1965 and 1966, with the US Army. I think that we should give it a rest, it's an old, sad, story and talking about it now won't change what happened there, for good or bad.
What we should talk about is how we're going to prevent the same thing happening again.
That would be a good conversation that might accomplish something.

Wouldn't it have been a good idea to have had such a conversation before going into Iraq?
Back when G.H. W. Bush went to war with Iraq in 1991, I spoke against it, also when his so G. W. Bush invaded Iraq in 2003, I opposed that.
The USA has gained nothing for its huge expenditure of human lives and cash in Iraq, but Iran has gained a lot.
I thought the 1991 war was an appropriate, measured response to events unfolding. It was quick, quiet and as clean as any warfare can be. Fixed the problem, went away. The later Iraq war was the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on America, and that's really saying a lot.
Sometimes, war is the answer. War should be purposeful and have specific objectives. Do it and go.

Had the 1991 war ACTUALLY have been the resoubding success you claim it to be, there wouldn't have been a " latter " Iraq war.
It was foolish to leave THAT dictator in power
If we were really fighting Communism, as the government contended at the time, why is Vietnam a capitalist country today? Did we win the war? Somehow, the fall of Saigon didn't look to me like a victory party for our side.
So communism is just like conservatism?
No. There's nothing else like communism.

Citing the language and the spirit of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, they expected U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to help remove the French colonial rule from Vietnam and ensure the formation of a new, nationalist government.
Nguyễn Sinh Cung, later known as Ho Chi Minh, plead with the American president, Woodrow Wilson for help in ending French Colonial rule, but was denied. Minh attempted to gain the assistance of the Americans to draft a constitution, and did draft a Vietnamese Declaration of Independence similar to the American document.
