Title states all, Vietnam is a country that fought for it's independence, fought off multiple invaders including 2 industrialized western superpower nations, and now is one of the fastest growing economies in East Asia and is generally speaking seen as a positive nation on the global stage, without all of the baggage that China or North Korea carry. Obviously this is an abridged understanding of Vietnam but on paper it looks good, unless there's some brave posters willing to tell me otherwise?

Yeah I mean, most socialist states with the exception of the USSR pre-Gorbachev and after the NEP have some elements of capitalism, thereby making them not economically socialist on a technical level - however, almost all of them are advancing TOWARDS socialism, have socialist elements, and are following Marxist theory, thereby making them socialist.
It's complicated lol
