One has to wonder what they would have had if it had gone the other way... would they look more like the Philippines, perhaps, or Indonesia? A "strong man" in Saigon with CIA backing on steroids. Because a whole other kind of just as shitty is still just as shitty.

I think you're misunderstanding what I said, US fought a war to stop it the spread of Lenin/Stalin styled authoritarian communism and failed. There never really was a chance for a proper democracy to rise up in such an improverished nation when both sides were going to exploit the hell out of poor workers without adding any significant value to the country or help prop up self sufficient industries.
