these bad eggs, the key values which Republic of Vietnam represented were democracy, freedom, and liberty.

South Vietnam never got to reach its full potential because of the war, but in its short lifetime, the RVN gave a glimpse of what Vietnam was capable of. The people of Vietnam, then, now, and always, have so much to offer to make the country great. Unfortunately, because of Ho Chi Minh and his Communists, the endless talents of the Vietnamese people have been, and continue to be squandered and suppressed.

On that day, thousands of scared and heartbroken South Vietnamese people pored into the American embassy in Saigon. Many others jumped on the nearest boat and set sail into the open sea. All of this to escape the impending brutally and slaughterbetter state. 90.000 people were murdered by the criminal military junta that ruled South Vietnam after 1963. But even the period between 1954 and 1963 was not democratic. South Vietnam was always a corrupt capitalist state, created by the French to keep at least one part of their Vietnamese colony in line with world capitalism. Laos and Cambodia were also created as capitalist kingdoms!

The Republic of Vietnam was no based on democracy. It was like North Vietnam a dictatorship of few people. I oppose the ”Socialist” Republic of Vietnam as a revolutionary socialist. But I hate it when pro-democracy activists praise a corrupt military regime like South Vietnam. You have no idea how many Vietnamese hated the military regime of Nguyen Van Thieu. Win-out American support the regime
