Can someone help me on the idea of Communism, and the basic view of Communism towards the Vietnam War?

The North Vietnam was communist and made war on the South. It was seen as a war against American imperialism. And Mao tse Tung supported the North and called America a paper tiger
She was right! America lost the war spectacularly she was blooded and withdrew from Vietnam in 1972 in 1975 the north took over the south and America could only watch and do nothing as the complete collapse of American power haunted her

For Northern Vietnam, the idea of communism was coming from China. Northern Vietnam revolved around farmers as did China. So when leaders promised more land to peasants, they grabbed onto the idea of communism. So the leaders promoted communism as a form where farmers could be in control of how country was run because agricultural community would be the basis for it.
Compare this to the problems North Vietnam had with French Colonies prior to the split. The French promised freedom but everything (ruling, way of life, etc.) would be dictated by them. This annoyed the locals who wanted more of a say in how things were. Plus, if peasants were the majority in that country, they wanted their issues and rights to be noticed by leaders.
In fact, this issue was evident between North Vietnam and Russia where the former did not want Russians to be the main controlling force either. And 'village culture' was important to Vietnamese unlike what Communist Russia was proposing.
