why? the Vietnamese 'communists' are relatively successful in comparison to other 'communist' nations. In many respects, the Vietnamese are the most socialist of the bunch, they actually include the needs of their populations in their planning. they are more practical, not so much ideologically based, and this flexibility is much more successful than in previous 'communist' regimes which were really just brute totalitarianism with humanist packaging..
in regards to the Czechs, as in most former Soviet states, the question is how much of the 'communist' government has actually been replaced? In most of these countries, the communist govt officials tend to remain the current government officials, even after two decades! That is not really any kind of change or revolution is it? Same shit, different toilet so to speak
