I guarantee you, they're not communist, they're authoritarian.
Capitalist states are also authoritarian. In fact all states are.
Frederick Engels, 1872, On Authority
The Vietnamese state itself will tell you that it has not yet reached its end-goal of communism: the absence of social classes and withering away of the state.
