I’d much rather not give the state the right to sentence anyone to death at any point.

Not every country has a genocidal fascist regime as a government. Viet Nam is definitely not one of those.

Can you trust it would stay that way? There is no such thing as immunity from fascism.

That's a pretty sloppy "you're right but i'm still right" answer. Of course that's not going to happen, they're communists. It's liberal governments that end up going fascist.

USSR collapsed and looks at Russia now. Just because they are communists now doesn't mean they won't become fascist in the future.

You were close, then you took a sharp U turn.

What? I was talking about Vietnam, just because they are communist now doesn't mean they will stay communist. I didn't mean that Russia is communist now, perhaps I wasn't clear in phrasing.
