I'm also in Vietnam and just yesterday got brutally dominated by a Vietnamese corporation! The owners of a small food stall, a young couple, made me such an insanely crazy delicious hủ tíu, i almost fell of my chair.
my taste buds? DOMINATED!
my hunger? DOMINATED!
my knowledge of what hủ tíu actually can be? ANNIHILATED!
and now I'm infested with ~~communism~~ capitalism and will probably go back there tonight...
Oh that reminds me, speaking of being infested, remember to take your de-worming pills every 4-6 months.
Lot of people forget to do that here, but it's sort of a good idea.
which ones? can you maybe give me the name?
I usually get Mebendazole. It's about VND 10.000 at most pharmacies.
It comes in chocolate and fruit flavor. I recommend fruit.
If you like hủ tiếu, there's a place behind the hindu-looking temple across from Takashimaya that's quite decent and well-regarded (this is in HCMC). They use reasonably fresh squid.
To get there, take the road off Pasteur that's to your right when facing the temple. Before all the sketchy bars (avoid these) begin, there's an alley. Go down this alley until you reach it.
Communism is when small businesses
nah, domination of corporations is when millions of people owning their own small businesses.
Communism is when capitalism
Economic liberalization is a defense against the kind of economic warfare that Cuba has been subjected to. Those are really the only two options: play ball with capitalism to some extent, or get strangled by sanctions.
Communism is when not communism
communism involves the abolition of the government. If you want to know what America does to communist movements undefended by government look at Indonesia in 1965–66
