June 2021 note from Beth Lamont, widow of Corliss Lamont:
Corliss Lamont, in remembering Gulf of Tonkin lies, would be proud to know of this progressive development in Viet Nam.
Helen Lamb Lamont, author of Vietnam's Will to Live, would be ecstatic to know that her prophetic vision was not in vain.
Please visit this webpage to read the story of a happily working form of Socialism, written by the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV), Professor Dr. Nguyen Phu Trong. This a beautiful and full description: "Some theoretical and practical issues on socialism and the path towards socialism in Vietnam".
Corliss Lamont was so proud of the successful effort, by way of the Supreme Court judgement, to disempower the hate-filled, lies and accusation of Joe McCarthy. Unfortunately the stigma and propaganda still prevail, and colors all attempts to humanize the lives of us Earthlings who suffer under capitalist domination.
