The Vietnamese see the Vietnam War as an act of US Imperialism, trying to subvert Vietnam as a US colony or client state and see South Vietnam as a "fake country that only exists because of American support" much the same way as Arabs see Israel as a "fake country that only exists because of American support". Of course, many who lived in South Vietnam believed that regime to be legitimate, especially if they were affiliated with it. Consequently, most members of the Vietnamese People's Army and the VietCong Guerrillas considered themselves Anti-Imperialists, since they were fighting "American Imperialism".
Whether that is the US intention to create a client state in Vietnam or not is debatable; certainly, most Americans do not have that perspective. However, much of American foreign policy in the Cold War was to create client states and allies, so it is not inconceivable that this was the intent.

If someone were to class "communism" as a form of "imperialism" then yes that was one of the causes of the Vietnam War.

But since the now (then) North Vietnamese were COMMUNISTS, and clearly supported by the Communist Superpowers, and we, the US, were a "pledged enemy" of communism; WE had to stop the attempted conquest of SOUTH Vietnam. It was only the geography of the land, and the fear of starting World War III (the involvement of the Communist Superpowers-as had happened in the Korean War when Red China entered into it) that prevented us from saving the South.
