Following the good reception I got to my thread https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=346850, I've decided to do a full TL about a Trotskyite Vietnam. The TL will begin in 1945, meaning five years after Trotsky's meeting with an ice ax. It is much more plausible than you probably think. OTL the Trotskyites were a mass movement in Vietnam, much more popular in the cities and amongst the proletariat, until they were brutally repressed by the Stalinists led by Ho Chi Minh.
The PoD is that Stalin forces the ICP (Indochinese Communist Party) to collaborate with the French even more than they did OTL (definitely not ASB considering his other actions during WWII).
There is one "House Rule": You are not allowed to speak about either the Bolsheviks, the Russian Civil War or Trotky's actions during the Civil War, unless it has direct relation to the TL. From my experience, this is the most polarizing issue on AH.com, and I want this TL to avoid descending into Flame War. So if you really want to say something about either of those topics, and you can't stop yourself, start a new thread.
