    By the way, I'm not the only person worried about how Vietnam will be able to deal with climate change, right? I'm almost afraid there won't be a Vietnam by 2045

    I like Vietnam and all but putting out a goal to be socialist oriented by 2045 is about as laughable as China's goal to be a socialist society by 2050

      Why, exactly, is it "laughable" to set goals and organizing your society toward achieving these goals?

      You cannot snap your fingers and change class relations. It's not surprising that this perspective is predominant in places where communists cannot even establish a dictatorship of the proletariat.

      I doubt you are a member of a communist party that has any plan to build socialism, or even a workers' state, in your country.

              How has Vietnam done in achieving their benchmarks? Have they met their benchmarks for short and long-term development thus far?

              China has. And yet, the ludicrous & chauvinistic myth they are misrepresenting their long-term plans persists with no evidence. I presume this is the case for Vietnam as well.

              So, literally none.

              The Communist Party of China have exceeded their benchmarks for development thus far.

              The target GNP per capita by 2000 outlined in the 15th CPC Congress was $800. China reached $2800 by 2000. The target for poverty alleviation in China was achieved six months earlier despite a global pandemic.

              I'm less informed about the specifics of Vietnam's benchmarks, but it seems comparable to China.
