Communism is The Worst Pt.2
In case people didn’t realize Communism is the worst economic system on the planet we live on. (I’ll save Anarcho-Capitalism and Libertarians for another time) I wrote part two because I still have some things I need to ventilate about the Vietnam war and its existence. What’s so important about the Vietnam War that we still need to talk about? Well first Americans need to still need to stop praising the hippy (Woodstock) movement! The movement was actual heaping piles of rubbish. They were deadbeats. Just because they made poetry when they were high of freaking LSD doesn’t mean we need to learn about these bums in school! Not only that but they dodged the draft! Screw these virtue signaling pieces of garbage. They turned young educated Americans into pieces of subprime human waste. These people helped bring an end to a war WE WERE WINNING. By the time Nixon resigned from office because of the Watergate scandal, we had convinced the North Vietnamese to have a sit down with Southern leaders in Paris. They were exhausted from the war because Nixon’s strategy for the US to heavily bomb oil fields and industrial zones was WORKING!! Not to mention that had we invaded the North with full force then we would have crushed the North Vietnamese a lot sooner. The only reason we did not invade the North because we were worried about the Russians interfering diplomatically with nuclear threats an annihilation. So what happened when the Democratic Party got a majority in the Senate? They broke our promise with the South Vietnamese to keep sending them arms and munitions and Vietnamization literally collapsed at the seams. The North Vietnamese took Saigon on April 30th, 1975. What they did to the populace is revolting and is on par with the nazi’s in Germany. They put 1 to 2.5 million people into re-education facilities. The facilities were a human rights catastrophe (They were more like mini nazi death camps). The letters that managed to be smuggled out were extremely remarkable on what they revealed. The prisoners didn’t ask for food or water. They asked for cyanide pills because they wanted to die that badly. Those deaths are on the Senators and Congressmen that helped stop the funding/aid being sent to the South Vietnamese. The only good thing that came out of the war would definitely have to be the end of the nationwide draft. I never want to be in a war that I have to forcibly send my own children that don’t want to serve. People ask why Americans re-elected Nixon into the White House; because he represented the American Middle class at the time unlike the deadbeat hippies and he promised an end to a war THAT WE WERE WINNING. I have a hunch that next election they will re-elect Donald Trump (If he runs again; I know that he said during an interview that he would run again; but you never know with his tweets nowadays). They did it with Nixon and Ronald Reagan. God Bless America for Capitalism and the free market.

It didn’t matter that we were winning the war, we weren’t supposed to be there in the first place. The “hippie movement” brought more attention to the problem that nobody wanted a war and yet Nixon pushed and pushed for it because his ego was bigger than the size of Texas, and he needed to prove that we could do whatever we want, whenever; no matter the cost of lives or the damage that it brought the country.

I get what you’re saying, but we needed someone like Richard Nixon and his ego to lead the country out of the war and it would’ve ended, but when he resigned and the plan fell apart. I’m pretty sure the damage you’re referring to the U.S. was caused by Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society programs. (A president cannot commit full resources on one thing or the other and when Johnson tried to balance his domestic and foreign policies the nation’s currency flew out of control. (Stagflation, although another contributing factor was the Arab Oil Embargo Crisis from the 70’s) Also the U.S. needed to get involved in Vietnam to protect the values our country holds most dear and that freedom of speech, the free market, and capitalism. Look at the state that the country is in now! No one can tell me that had we secured peace in the region people’s lives could’ve been saved from the atrocities that came to that poor nation.
