What does this even mean? What non-Vietnamese communist military bases existed in Vietnam?

Why would communists have an incentive to put military bases there?

China was heavily involved fam

source?

lol, why did the ussr overthrow the afghan government?

why did they conquer eastern europe?

'conquer' is a strange word

ask the people in poland how they liked the occupation

More like they promoted socialist insurgencies for the purpose of increasing international scope

or do you call it liberation?

socialists are in every country, like it or not

here's a source I haven't read yet, I assume you're going to read it all http://www3.nccu.edu.tw/~lorenzo/Jian%20China%20Involvement%20Vietnam.pdf

sure I will

you get to work on those articles boi

Thinking socialist uprisings were not stimulated by the soviet union is crazy though

I mean you at least know about afghanistan I hope

"More like they promoted socialist insurgencies for the purpose of increasing international scope"

Are you blind?

Did I not just concede that?

don't get angry

argument against what?

"Thinking socialist uprisings were not stimulated by the soviet union is crazy though" - you just threw that out there as a non-sequitur

not something I ever denied

We both agree that they did it then

" The relationship between Communist China and Vietnam was
very close in the late 1950s and early 1960s.9 The close connection with
Hanoi, as well as Beijing's revolutionary ideology, would not allow the
Chinese to go so far as to become an obstacle to the Vietnamese cause
of revolution and reunification."

so far the article seems to be suggesting that unified ideology (i.e. forming an axis against US interests in Indo-China) was a more pertinent reason for Chinese involvement in Vietnam than fiscal gain rooted in a socialist praxis

The U.S would say they did the same in Chile and Korea

What's the difference in stopping the spread of U.S ideology or soviet ideology?

you're diverting off-topic now, but what socialist financial incentives overrode ideological solidarity in Chile & Korea?

the US was capitalist before China was communist

because, like I said, US ideology is rooted in international trade

And the socialist one spreads poverty and misery

a communist state, as history has shown us, can exist in a vacuum, at least to a certain extent

Face it, Korea and Chile are better off

Vietnam wasn't

The US demands that all non-capitalist nations be subordinated to global, financial capital

once more, not an argument

Which is for their betterment

The original contention was whether this level of death would exist under capitalism than under communism

You just don't see it as something good, which the results simply do show
