The New Domino Theory in South East Asia

The New Domino Theory in South East Asia



We all read about the Domino Theory, the principle cause of justifying the Vietnam war. It meant that if we allowed South Vietnam to fall, Cambodia, Laos and other nations would fall to communism as well
The truth is, it did happen and most of those south east Asian countries fell to communism. But what about now? China is capitalist, Vietnam is capitalist, so is Cambodia. So what does all of this mean?

What this means is that we are experiencing a new Domino Effect. This one however is where communist run, central economic systems are falling in favor of capitalist, free enterprise systems.

So the bottom line is, by the communists winning in the Vietnam war, all they really did was prevent the inevitable from happening. All they did was delay, what the United States and her allies tried so desperately to enforce during those treacherous years of conflict. That capitalism, not communism is the way to hope and prosperity.
