I daresay that it’s more staunchly anti-imperialist than Venezuela. More people seem to prefer MAS than Venezuelans to Maduro. After the restoration of MAS, it’s been much more anti-imperialist and anti-Western.
But again, I recommend Vietnam (less culture-shock compared to China).
Despite the wars, Vietnam itself never really antagonized the U.S. Ho Chi Minh himself admired the U.S and the war was just a necessity on their side to have a reset button on the government. People in Vietnam tend to be extremely open about adopting random trends that came out of the western countries.
For instance, Jalepenos werent a part of vietnamese culture, but was used as an esrly substitute for thai chilis while in the U.S, it became soo popular that the trend reversed course back into Vietnam and became much more popular. Other western things like Heineken(Dutch) is extremely popular in vietnam.
While Vietnam’s current government is communist in origin, it leaves the door for culture to come in and out basically freely. Some of its most famous foods have western origins, and its fairly common for chefs for instance to move to vietnam to start restaurants there.
The only people Vietnam might have legitimately not liked was France (during french occupation) and ancient China during the periods of Nam Viet being a province. (And maybe Pol Pot’s version of communism)
Vietnam is better.
People speak English more easily and it’s more friendly to Westerners (if you are one) for better or for worse.
You can get people to help you there as well too.
I believe that there are less stringent laws regarding the Internet as well so you should be good.
Another country would be Bolivia, in my book.
Why Bolivia?
I’ve been there (during the 2019 coup).

Vietnam is more Westernized and more friendly to Westerners and other foreigners.
It’s much easier to get an ESL job in Vietnam than it is in China, for example, at least percentage-wise.
Does that mean that they are also more likely to turn capitalist?
Possibly, but I don’t think they will.
What makes you think that they won’t? The temptation of capital is unfortunately very strong.
I don’t think it is. Sovereignty is also a strong temptation.
