    Were these the only countries on this poll, or do less than 26% of Americans think Cuba and Vietnam are "more socialist than capitalist"?

      I strongly suspect it's more a case of less than 26% of Americans know anything at all about Cuba or Vietnam.

        How is this possible with the Vietnam war, Castro hate and cold war incidents with Cuba? I've seen something like this before and don't understand how American minds come up with Russia and Venezuela and not Cuba and Vietnam

          We did a war at them so that means they're free now

            I guess i shouldn't be surprised if schools don't talk about how the us lost and especially not that the commies won

            Lol yeah I guess, I know why americans overestimate the threat and socialism of Russia and Venezuela but I'm a bit surprised that they don't know more about the Vietnamese, Korean or Cold war

          I'm not saying they haven't heard of them, but I suspect it's because they're not big basically, as well as being 'important' only in the past.
