It's easy enough to make a scenario before the 1963 coup and murder of Diem wherein South Vietnam survives. It generally involves Diem avoiding coup or someone besides Diem rising to the leadership of South Vietnam and brushing away the problems that affected the original timeline, allowing South Vietnam to survive.

I don't want to discuss that. What I am primarily interested in is how can the Republic of Vietnam, after Diem and his brother have been overthrown and brutally murdered and that die has been irrevocably cast, manage to survive?
