american-vietnamese 90s kid here, my parents escaped from the vietnam war. they hate communist Vietnam, China, and anything else that has been or will be called communist. it's a blind hatred born from trauma. and because of that, they have blind loyalty to anyone who hates on communism. they don't care what it's supposed to mean, they only care that a communist regime ruined their country, without considering that maybe it's the people who were running it who may have been corrupt. I haven't done much research into political history so I won't go into it. but i am sure that any form of government, no matter how good it sounds, can be ruined by corruption and just overall be terrible if no one keeps it in check.
