Half-year ramblings (Part 1)

*Eyes open*

It’s been half a year since I first stepped into Vietnam – the country that is communist by name and capitalist by nature. In the long run, I don’t think this combination will be able to hold out as the rich will eat off the poor (twisted capitalism) and the poor can’t do anything about it because they don’t have a voice (pure communism)!

Perhaps someday, the income gap will reach such a dramatic level that the people will revolt and communism will be expelled? Democracy might prevail (America hopes) but probably it’ll take the form of Singapore’s non-communist social democratic system.

In any case, all that comes with the emerging capitalism in Vietnam - entrepreneurship, efficient resource allocation, productivity, and people starting to think - is good for the country.
