Many South Vietnamese joined the Viet Cong due to a combination of factors, including discontent with the South Vietnamese government, which was often seen as corrupt and ineffective. The Viet Cong offered a sense of community and support, addressing local grievances and promising land reforms. Additionally, the appeal of nationalism and the desire to reunite Vietnam under a communist regime motivated some to align with the Viet Cong, particularly in rural areas where they felt marginalized. Lastly, fear and coercion also played a role, as many felt pressured to support the Viet Cong to avoid reprisals from both them and the South Vietnamese government.
