       @Makan That's very sad and unfortunate what happened in regards to the passing of the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong, and I give my condolences, and even though I do not like the CPUSA, given their current and past actions and decisions, I appreciate that they showed their respect for the General Secretary in his passing.

       @Radical_EgoCom @Makan As you have mentioned Vietnam, I was recently surprised to learn that Vietnamese billionaires exist. Trying to understand how this is possible in a Worker’s state. Honest question, not a jab.https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanburgos/2024/07/14/vietnamese-billionaires-vinfast-delays-us-ev-factory-amid-headwinds/

       @ceartas @Makan I don't know anything about Vietnams socio-economic structure. I suggest doing research yourself.

       @Radical_EgoCom @Makan ADD here. But wide interests. I delve (shallowly) into many subjects. Ironically, my neurodivergent brain served me well as a movie prop man. So, forgive my impertinence. I ask questions. Sometimes I rely on the on the opinions of experts, and you and the possum guy are my go to’s on all things communism. As a worker, I think I ought to be able to ask communist intellectuals questions about PRACTICAL communism. @heavenlypossom@kolectiva.social

       @Radical_EgoCom @Makan No, I’m not onboard with revolutionary politics, there is ALWAYS a strongman. I still believe in elections, but goddammit, I’m willing to listen. So you can tell me, a worker bee, to do his own research, or you can ‘splain it to me, or at least point me in the right direction. I’m a collectivist, maybe just an old hippie to you, but I’m just trying to figure out what the fuck my generation of radicals did wrong, and how the next generation can fix it.
