All fo them took the Russian style communism which it self is just continuation of Russian emperial habits they inherited from Mongols.
Chinese, Koreas etc could have chose differently.
Vietnam does seem to be a bit different or we just don't know as much about their crimes.
Chinese communism seems very much to be born of a fusion of USSR and Chinese imperial styles. But one important thing to remember about communist revolutions between 1918 and the 1990s is that the USSR played a major role in a lot of them. This is where you see such things as the betrayal in Catalonia and massive splits in western leftism as Marxist-Leninists and Maoists had backing and anarchists didn’t.
