Well, what did you expect from a communist dictatorship?
Is this satire?
If not, who would you say is the dictator of Vietnam?
Dictatorship doesn't imply that there's only a single ruler.
That said the situation, as in the power of the Politburo, isn't as extreme as it was in the USSR or in Vietnam before 1988. But they still have ways to go before they're at Cuban levels of "wait we'll have to take a closer look they might actually have come up with a form of democracy constitutionally different from the usual ones". Cuba is still authoritarian but that seems to be more cultural inertia than tankie ideology. Singapore might actually be a good comparison, not economically but politically.
It has a government? Then it's not communist
Technically correct, which is the most tone-deaf kind of correct.
Oh yes, the capitalist country with the capitalist flag all over and a capitalist party, wait... That aint right...
Thx for the easy copy/paste @MTK@lemmy.world
Its a communist party trying to achieve communism while being in socialism
What exactly do you think communism is?
Stateless, moneyless society, if it has money or a state then its not communist, its socialist, big difference
One is an eternal pipe-dream the other a failure.
Communist is an adjective, and it's right there in their name:
While the country may not be strictly communist, the adjective is absolutely appropriate to describe its ruling party, which is the only party allowed and therefore it's valid to refer to the entire government by that adjective.
You're just being obtuse...
