They both have a bit in common. They're both communist Asian states that the US went to war with during the Cold War and did not win. But the messaging regarding the two states is a lot different. DPRK is treated like the worst dictatorship ever, that kills you and your family for even thinking that the Kims are less than gods, whilst also starving. But Vietnam, they say... nothing.

Why isn't Vietnam demonized like DPRK?

I wonder how many explicitly Marxist-Leninist parties have succeeded in revolution since the 70s?

Not a lot because the main ML country became revisionist and then fell which caused ML to be a dead branch essentially. And given the few actually succeeding revolutions at all - its basically just (barely) Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Angola, Mozambique, Benin, Grenada, and Zimbabwe.

Oooo can you think of any articles or documents about the Maoist psyop stuff? That’s very interesting.

Through the Congress for Cultural Freedom. Also the Nouvelle Philosophie & Foucault. More here, Here, Straight from the source, From page 96 or so, may not entirely be relevant to your question, but a good poignant read entirely - also from the empire's lips
