1) Young Vietnamese are apathetic to political activism
--> They view the Vietnamese Communist Party as irrelevant & corrupt, but still they are uninterested in joining it or taking any action against it!
-->They are more centric on economic gains and daily living!
--> The civil war was generations ago ... so they become, not only from governmental limitations and controls, a quasi self ignorance and indifference about their own history.
2) Vietnamese, in general, view CSVN as "good enough" for now because they are elated to have escaped the extreme poverty & despair of the 1980-90s that the Communist Party had placed them there.
--> Cheating, stealing, bribery, nepotism and misuse of public funds and assets, using money and relationships to get jobs, basic lack of social services and personal protection ... are rampant at all aspects of life in CSVN and are considered normal if you want to live in the country!
--> They know BD sold them a lemon and they were royally F'UP, but for now their bellies are full.
--> For Vietnamese, equality, justice & moral are all affordable if you have the money and or connections!
3) Post civil war, CSVN suffered a "brain drain"
---> The professional & educated class left to the US, Canada, Australia and etc ... post 1975-1980. If it wasn't for BD interventions, ie. imprisonment, the majority of the country would have been vacated.
---> But only after BD wholesale abandonment of communism principles and practices, it has taken 2-3 generations for CSVN to start to rebuild this class
---> Thus, current and for the next foreseeable 2-3 generations will continue to place economic advancement as paramount before such high goals as justice, equality, morality and etc ... gets a foot hold
CSVN have relied upon economic advancements to stabilize and maintain their control over these left behind uneducated Vietnamese. Unless some other variable such as Chinese invasion and or economic collapse, these uneducated Vietnamese will only be temporarily satiated for now
