Why did so many people in colonial capitalist countries believe that Vietnam was suffering from communism & Team America: World Police are coming to help!
Thing was - they weren't there to help. They were there to invade, try to indoctrinate & exploit Vietnamese people - while mass murdering & bombing us, daily.
People in Global North believed USA lies because they never visited Vietnam themselves & parroted USA government lies. For years. Fuck all governments who never stood up against USA invasion on Vietnam & joined them to try to mass murder more of us. I'm still here. I'm not shutting up.
