Where are the eco-Marxists to save the coral reefs from the dynamite fishermen? Oh, it’s Vietnam, so they can do as they please. They’re already Marxist, so there’s no point in shutting down their economy in the name of environmentalism.
Amazing that what most of us here consider a dictatorship has citizens capable of getting and using dynamite. How hard would that be to do here? How much red tape? Paperwork? Background checks? Fees?
Oh yeah, I can see why we are hated because we are free. Who are we trying to horseshit? Oh, that’s right, ourselves. Well, it’s working.
It’s a matter of allocating resources, straightarrow. For example, under Saddam Hussein you could own machine guns in Iraq. He spent his money not on registering them and collecting a tax on them but on having an army of thugs better armed than you that would take you to a plastic recycler and shred you alive any time they wanted to. I imagine it’s the same thing in Vietnam. The people have dynamite sticks and the government has cannons.
