In recent memory, the people of Vietnam have destroyed two coercive dictatorial governments. If they felt the state wasn't subservient to them, they'd do it again. The government is subservient to the CPV, who are subservient to the people. The state of Vietnam is the people of Vietnam.

"L'État c'est moi" every state says it is *the people".

How does a fraudster steals percentages of GDP without anyone noticing ? They were allowed to and enabled to do it.

The overwhelming majority of states are not 'the people', but instead enforcers working for the bourgeoisie.

Vietnam has a market economy in complacence with IMF demands. This means capitalists are given extremely disproportionate power that they can abuse if they are criminals. Jeff Bezos owns 1% of the GDP of the USA for reference.
