The only successful ex-soviet story - Kazakhstan

[AViet]

Absolutely fantastic post. One of the best I have read on PDF recently. In my previous post I was about to include Vietnam along with China. Your society is perfect example to contrast with Pakistan.

You were raped by France. Carpet bombed by USA. Americans killed millions of you. Yet. Yet you show no animus against European [read white people]. Your political philiosophy is built on and informed by writings of a German [Marx], your script is Roman and you have coped everything from Europe as long as it helped your nation to progress. And progress you have made.

In Pakistan we worship backwardness under the banner of tradition/Islam. Whereas we despise recipe for progress because we choose to call it 'western' or 'gora' [read white]. You see the result.

1000 out of 100.

Perhaps everything are better if you look as an outsider. Modern Vietnam and Vietnamese still expose hundred of inherent weakness, which will take centuries to eliminate, if ever, if we continue to live in a "free" society (read: no one is actually in charge, no one has absolute power) like the situation now.

We may need some strong man like Stalin or Mao, now or later. (and perhaps every countries will) to eliminate the rotten elements of society. Western young people behavior during this pandemic make me sick. They are really rotten to the core.

I have no illusions about Vietnam. But I have a idea where you were in 1975. I was a young lad then and BBC news would be full of daily reports of the Vietnam war. I know the state your country was then. And I know where you are today. Way ahead of Pakistan.

Way ahead of Pakistan.

And you did not get where you are by glorifing backwardness as your 'tradition's' and poisoning progress as 'western' conspiracy.
