Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer

Very glad Vietnam banned unskippable ads - for an already-existing-socialist country that supports a philosophy that encourages common ownership of the means of production (and wouldn’t allow advertising), but allows advertising, this is a pretty good decision.

Also, how is Vietnam allows ads if they’re a Marxist-Leninist country?

I guess the alternative is locking their people out of Youtube by effectively banning it. Even this is a gutsy move TBH.

It’s the same deal when “how is it that you’re paying taxes if you’re a libertarian”?

  That’s not what I mean - A lot of libertarians support the notion that taxation is theft, but they DOESN’T make them tax evaders. Every year on April 15th they had to file their taxes to the IRS (because obviously it’s better than NOT filing them).
  
  What I was trying to ask is if Vietnam supports communism (which calls for the abolition of money, among other things), how do they allow advertising? China did the same thing.

    Yeah, you’re right, I looked it up.
    
    Apparently that’s the “Chinese characteristics” in “socialism with Chinese characteristics”.

    “Socialism with Chinese characteristics” is more like Market Marxism
