The Cuba embargo was intentionally designed to bring about "hunger and desperation" among the Cuban people, according to the State Department itself.

Well, the quote-tweets of this thread are absolutely normal, not strange at all 🤣

Receiving free farm land from the gov. is simply awesome but those people still desperately tried to shit on it.

Cope and seethe, LMAO 😂😂😂
Like, seriously, how pathetic you must be to even be mad at other people for having a piece of rice field FOR FREE.
And we are talking about poor farmers in global south not going hungry, you dipshit!
And also people are mocking me because my rice field is small 😂

Your gov. dont even give you shit and now you mock at Vietnam for giving "small" rice field to our people?! 😂

You can make 200-300kg of rice from that 1 piece every crop and it's way more than enough for you!

Just a reminder: this "evil communist authoritarian" government of Vietnam gave me a piece of rice field FOR FREE since I was born in rural area 😎

Me with my 500m2 rice field: Image
I can sell my rice field any time I want.

When I moved out of my hometown to study in Hanoi, I stopped working on that rice field. Now one of my aunt is taking care of it.

She simply just keep everything she grows from that field and I'm totally happy with that.
This rice field doesnt make me rich, for sure, but I've never been hungry in my life, thanks to the rice I got from it.

Each of my family members also has a rice field like this. Many of my most beautiful memories were about the time I work on my family's rice field 🥰

A brief history of Colin Powell in the Vietnam war:
He came to Vietnam for the first time in 1962. He, along with other troops, burnt dozens of our villages, destroyed a large amount of crops by toxins (including agent orange) in just 1 year.
In 1 mission in 1963, when he was destroying a mountain village in A Sao, Hue, he stepped on one of our Viet Minh's bamboo trap where he just sprayed toxin on.
His foot got severe injured (mostly because of his own fucking toxin), he was sent back to the USA for medical help.
He cam back to Vietnam in 1968, during the time of My Lai Massacre.
Not long after that incident happened, Tom Glen, a young soldier who took part in that massacre, wrote a letter reporting what actually happened.
That letter was sent to Powell for investigation.

Dialectical materialism demands we seek a COMPREHENSIVE and HISTORICAL perspective. This means understanding the DEVELOPMENT of internal and external relations which compose ALL THINGS. Case in point, photos like this of Black Panthers organizing with Young Patriots:
It has been used by some USA leftists to claim that Fred Hampton would have "hated me" for sharing my personal feelings of the USA flag, based on my childhood growing up in extreme poverty from USA embargoes and many members of my family and village being victims of USA genocide.
That image is literally a snapshot, which shows one stage in development which occurred over half a century ago. The Young Patriots organization knew, even early on, that the confederate flag would alienate many black people and even covered it up around them.

Thanks for recommending the book I studied for 6 years in high school/university, what about our century of socialism building which has brought us from being colonial slaves to defeating Japan, France, and USA to having one of the fastest growing life quality is Utopian, again?
Is it the fact that we are increasing the number of worker owned cooperatives by tens of thousands per year? The fact that we have been able to contain COVID with extremely limited resources? That 90% of us own our own homes and have full healthcare?
Can you explain to me how YOUR personal "scientific socialism building efforts" are an improvement over what we are doing in Vietnam? Can you enlighten me on what we in Vietnam need to do to meet your expectations?

THREAD: Coops were ~8.3% of the economy in 2020 (15,000 were added in 2020, and about 50% of them are in agriculture - most agriculture in Vietnam is cooperative).

Also, about 55% of Vietnamese workers are self-employed.

Vietnam gov is actively transitioning from SOEs to coops.
Western "Vietnam Understanders like to talk about how we are "state capitalist" even though the vast majority of workers don't work for the state and don't work for capitalists. We are a socialist-oriented market economy actively pushing for more workers owning their labor.
