Actually guys, Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhan is right. I just checked on wikipedia, Uncle Ho is actually dead now. So this guy is in fact just someone who looks like him.

Strange Kris Wilkins? I think its normal for some Asian countries, not only VN that people could react like this. Did you ever go to any cinema in Thailand? At least here in VN, we don't have to stand up and show our 5 minutes respects for Uncle Ho like what they have to do in Thailand for their King before actually watching a movie. I think its quite free here to joke, just some points of view about it. I don't think you can joke like this with Thai people about their King, or with Cambodian people. So I absolutely understand it and to make you understand better, for us, Uncle Ho is like our King that brought us freedom, not just another prime minister.

Kris Wilkins Post 1975 Vietnamese without exception from early on was dunked head first into a personality cult concoction mixed with propaganda served as "education". Hell, I was raised by an anti-commie mother hence was inoculated against some of that BS but at the age of 10 I believed that it was the Russian, not American, that took the first walk on the moon. (Though now I realize Stanley Kubrick faked the whole thing j/k). I still remember a fair amount of songs praising uncle Ho

wouldn't be a surprise coming from a child, but when coming from an adult, it does make you pause; and me specifically -- a bit angry as reminder of a wasted childhood.

: I know it's a crazy idea, neither of the wars he started was, you know, necessary. Colonialism had run its course after WW2 and was going out of fad quicker than Justin Bieber. Even Great Britain, which was in much stronger position than France, and the lead preacher of "whiteman's burdenism", had to let go of their former holdings within a few years. What Ho did was to get the country into a costly globo- ideological war and set the countries back *decades* if not century by empowering a class of people that had no experience in governing, hence governed by fear, hatred, and xenophobia; and wiped out significant progress western influence did bring to Vietnam.
In 1945, even 1954, Vietnam was on better course to modernity than, for instance, South Korea. They had better infrastructures laid down by their "colonial masters", better expertise in law and technology from all those French trained technocrats. What had happened since?
How is the way Vietnam gained independence better than say the way numerous other former colonial countries gained their independence, but peacefully?

On the contrary, I feel that you're being obtuse, if not ignorant of the politics of the world post WW2. India, the middle east, Burma, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, numerous countries in Africa all gained independence without having to fight their former master, need I name more? By the way, in a democratic society, ideas come and go, it may take time for new ideas to push out the old, but they usually do. Even before Ho was somebody, colonialism was under assault from within by people like George Orwell, who did a hell lot more to change people's mind than some self-aggrandized, self-styled revolutionist like Ho.
And what made you think you're more an expert of Ho than I am?

I feel like you have a very colonialist mindset, even saying that Orwell, a colonist (albeit a regretful one) did more to stop colonialism than HCM is absurd.
When you say "need I name more?" sarcastically, I think it reveals that you know how much more you really do need to say. Colonialism did not simply vanish, as though the colonial powers stopped their "benevolent" occupation when they were finished civilizing the 'natives'. Each anti colonial struggle was a product of its specific material conditions. To imagine the French would just let it go after Truman double crossed Ho Chi Minh and gave the colony back after he assisted with the fight against the Japanese is ridiculous (FDR promised HCM that the french wouldn't be allowed to return). No doubt their would be a protracted anti-colonial war, like Algeria and many others.
Furthermore, to equivocate Indonesia and the others and call them free or independent or democratic is outlandish. Did Indonesia not have its genocides? Burma, was that a joke? We can't ignore the ways that 'colonialism' has led into a global capitalist system that retains many of its features.
Finally to call HCM a 'self-styled revolutionist' is sadly misinformed and is part of the attitude that leads me to believe that either I know more, or that you are purposefully ignorant, about the incredible work that the man undertook.
While I gather that your opinion comes more from a hatred of Marxism-Leninism as a political-economic value than a genuine dislike of the man HCM per se, I think that, as an outsider who is stepping over my bounds and venturing to speak out of turn, that the route Vietnam took had little to do with his vision.
The Viet people certainly had the right to self determination, this much I am sure we agree on, but the idea that they should have waited till it was granted to them by their masters is a classic oppressor statement thats been repeated to American blacks, Algerians, Indians, etc. It's just plain fucked up

Alright, Mr. Berkeley, when the Britons voted Labours to oust an old-timer colonialist like Winston Churchill, and it was a decisive indication of a change in mindset of the populace (on many things, not just colonialism), was it because of people like
Orwell who had turned the opinions, or was it because of Ho?
I also never advocated "they should've waited their turn".
I'll stop now, as per the wish of the rest of the members.
