Talk:Land reform in Vietnam

Misleading tab headliners

Reforming something isn't the same as "abolishing" it. Change the last tab headliner to reflect this fact and stop with the capitalist propaganda.

Not to mention the fact that not one capitalist county on earth has a free market approach to agriculture as they all subsidize farming. 2600:1009:B1C1:336C:0:20:864A:3701 (talk) 15:27, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see what the issue is. I looked at the Reference and it appears to be RS. (And backs up the statement in the article.) Granted, there is more than one way to word this though. What would you suggest?Rja13ww33 (talk) 17:45, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation for Removal

The explanation for the removal:

1. The original Balasz Szalontai study does not say that the starvations was caused by the land reform, and neither did the BBC article. The BBC article wrote that this occurred in “liberated” areas, when Szalontai never wrote this sentence in his study.

2. The wikipedia article says “due to economic collapse caused by land reform in combination with natural disasters, floods, and crop failures.” The BBC article does not say that highlighted part in that section of the article’s paragraph.

From the original source, in Szalontai’s study, in Page 404:

“Paradoxically, the economy of northern Vietnam was badly hit both by the long and immensely destructive Franco-Vietnamese War and by the conclusion of the Geneva agreements. The war caused a considerable reduction of rice production, hindered trade between French-controlled and liberated' areas, and left irrigation systems seriously damaged. As if this had not been disastrous enough, in 1954 Vietnam was troubled both by extensive floods and scarce rainfall. As a consequence, a serious famine occurred in Central Vietnam and the Red River Delta. By the end of 1954, over 12,000 persons had starved to death, or died for related reasons, in these areas.” Keoghsuns (talk) 04:24, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
