This article is one of the ideas in the above spirit and is presented in a layout consisting of XNUMX main parts as follows:
OUR PARTY IS BORN, LEADING THE FIGHT FOR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE, LIBERATION OF THE SOUTH, AND UNITY OF THE COUNTRY
Our nation’s thousands of years of history have proven that patriotism and defense of the country, resolutely resisting foreign invaders, protecting independence, sovereignty and national unity are extremely valuable traditions of our nation.
Continuing that tradition, since the mid-19th century, when the French colonialists invaded our country, refusing to accept slavery, our people have continuously risen up to fight through continuous patriotic movements. and strong in many ways with many different tendencies.
From the path of national salvation of scholars to the peasant uprisings and the path of bourgeois revolution… despite fighting very tenaciously, with enthusiasm and making great sacrifices, due to limitations, Historically, especially lacking a correct direction, those movements have not been successful. History requires finding new paths.
In 1911, the young patriot Nguyen Tat Thanh (ie our beloved Uncle Ho) left to find a new path for the cause of national salvation and the fight for national independence.
Carrying within him a great and burning desire, he came to Marxism-Leninism and found in this revolutionary doctrine the correct path to saving the country – the path of proletarian revolution.
After many years of working abroad, he persistently researched, studied, creatively applied and gradually spread Marxism-Leninism to Vietnam, diligently preparing the necessary conditions for the establish a genuine revolutionary party.
On February 3, 2, the Conference to unify communist organizations met in Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong (China), under the chairmanship of leader Nguyen Ai Quoc, decided to unify the organizations. Communists in our country became a single Party, named the Communist Party of Vietnam.
This is an important historical turning point, ending the long-lasting crisis in the organization and direction of the Vietnamese revolution.
The birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam is the result of the combination of Marxism-Leninism with the workers’ movement and the patriotic movement; proving that the Vietnamese working class has matured and is capable of shouldering the historic mission of revolutionary leadership.
The Party’s first political thesis approved at the Party Establishment Conference determined the basic path of the Vietnamese revolution, meeting the urgent needs of the nation and the people’s earnest aspirations.
After being born, he was closely linked by blood and flesh to the people, and received absolute sympathy, support and trust from the people; In just 15 years, our Party has led the national liberation struggle, carrying out three revolutionary movements: the 1930-1931 revolutionary movement, culminating in the Soviet-Nghe Tinh movement; The revolutionary movement for people’s livelihood and democracy (1936-1939) and the revolutionary movement for national liberation (1939-1945), so that by 1945, when the opportunity for revolution was ripe, the Communist Party of Vietnam took the lead. led the entire Vietnamese people to achieve the victory of the August Revolution in 1945, “a landslide”, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 02, 9 (in 1945 we will 2025th anniversary).
Immediately after the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the revolution faced many difficulties and challenges; At the same time, we have to face “the hungry, the ignorant, and the foreign invaders”.
In that dangerous situation, the Party led our people to overcome the “dangerous” situation, resolutely protected and built the young government, and actively prepared in all aspects to enter the new era. resistance war against French colonial invasion.
On the basis of the resistance policy of “all people”, “comprehensive”, “long-term”, “relying on one’s own strength”, promoting the tradition of solidarity and patriotism of the entire nation, our Party has led Our people successively defeated all plots and invasion plans of the enemy, especially the victory in the Winter-Spring War of 1953-1954, culminating in the historic Dien Bien Phu Victory, “resplendent in five continents, shocking the world”. Earthquake”, forcing the French colonialists to sign the Geneva Agreement (1954), ending the war of aggression in Vietnam.
From 1955 to 1975, our country was divided into two regions. Under the Party’s leadership, the North has not only strived to build socialism and resist the destructive war of US imperialism, but also devoted its efforts to fulfilling the obligations of the great rear to the great front line of the South.
The people of the South continued their resilient struggle to win national independence and unify the country. With the spirit of “I would rather sacrifice everything than lose my country, definitely not be a slave”, “nothing is more precious than independence and freedom”; On the basis of the correct and creative policy of the Party, with the combined strength of the entire nation, our army and people have successively defeated the war strategies of US imperialism, completely liberated the South, and unified the South. most of the country, the country returned to one term on April 30, 4.
That victory “will forever be recorded in our nation’s history as one of the most brilliant pages, a shining symbol of the victory of revolutionary heroism and Vietnamese human intelligence, and will go down in history.” world history as a great victory of the twentieth century, an event of great international importance and profound era” (in 2025 we will celebrate the 50th anniversary).
While having to urgently overcome the extremely severe consequences left by the war, the Vietnamese people continue to face new wars.
Under the Party’s leadership, our army and people focus on socio-economic recovery, while fighting to protect the border, maintaining the independence, sovereignty, and sacred territorial integrity of the Fatherland; At the same time, fulfill international obligations to help the Cambodian people escape genocide and carry out the work of reviving the country.
Looking back at the journey from 1930 to 1975, we are very proud, confident and deeply grateful to the glorious Party and the great Uncle Ho who always wisely led the Vietnamese revolution from one resounding victory to another. other resounding benefits, continuing to write brilliant golden pages in the history of the civilized and heroic Vietnamese nation, admired and appreciated by the world: Successfully carrying out the earth-shattering August Revolution, regained power into the hands of the people, bringing our country out of colonial and imperialist slavery in 1945; The long resistance war against the French colonialists, ending with the Geneva Agreement and the victory of the famous Dien Bien Phu campaign on five continents, shook the earth; While building socialism and fighting against the destructive war of US imperialism in the North, while fighting against America to save the country, liberate the South, unify the country, ending with the Dien Bien Phu aerial campaign and historic Ho Chi Minh campaign.
THE LEADERSHIP PARTY RESOLVES THE CONSEQUENCES OF WAR; CONDUCTING INNOVATION AND INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION; BUILDING OUR COUNTRY TO BE MORE DEVELOPED AND MORE BEAUTIFUL
After the country was unified, our country had to face many very serious consequences of 30 years of war.
To overcome the consequences of war and continue to build socialism nationwide, our Party has focused on leading the construction and implementation of the 5-year socio-economic development plan for 1976-1980. and 1981-1985.
Thereby, socio-economic infrastructure, especially industrial, agricultural, medical, education-training, transportation, and irrigation facilities, have been gradually restored. The State economy and the collective economy are cared for and developed, making many contributions to the country’s development.
However, facing the new requirements of the cause of building and protecting the Fatherland in conditions where the country is at peace, in order to overcome the inadequacies of the bureaucratic and subsidized central planning mechanism, leading to the socio-economic crisis in the post-war years, on the basis of summarizing the people’s initiatives and creativity in practice, our Party has carried out the reform process, first of all renewing theoretical thinking on socialism, partly in agriculture and industry, and gradually forming the National Renovation Policy.
The 12th National Congress of the Party (December 1986), based on in-depth analysis of the country’s situation and through the process of research and practical testing, with the spirit of “looking straight at the truth” , accurately assessing the truth, stating the truth”, “innovation of thinking” has proposed a comprehensive reform policy for the country, marking an important turning point on the path to transition to socialism in Vietnam.
The creation of the reform policy met the demands of historical reality, demonstrated the steadfast spirit and creative thinking of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and opened a new era for the country’s development.
After the 1991th Congress, the Party has gradually perfected and concretized the innovation path, whose basic and core content is expressed in the Platform for building the country in the transition period to socialism (Platform). 2011 and the XNUMX Supplemental and Development Platform) and important documents of the Party through Congresses.
In the 90s of the twentieth century, overcoming challenges from the collapse of the realist socialism model in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people were steadfast and continued to Step firmly and creatively on the path to socialism in accordance with the specific conditions and characteristics of Vietnam.
The Party Central Committee from term VI to term XIII has issued many resolutions on basic and important issues of the Party and the development of the country.
Up to now, although there are still a number of issues that need further in-depth research, we have formed a general awareness: The socialist society that the Vietnamese People are striving to build is a Association of rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness and civilization; owned by the people; has a highly developed economy, based on modern productive forces and appropriate progressive production relations; has an advanced culture, rich in national identity; People have a prosperous, free, happy life and have conditions for comprehensive development; Ethnic groups in the Vietnamese community are equal, united, respectful and help each other develop; There is a socialist law-governed state of the people, by the people, for the people led by the Communist Party; have friendly relations and cooperation with countries around the world.
To achieve that goal, we have determined the need to: Promote industrialization and modernization of the country associated with developing a knowledge economy; Developing a socialist-oriented market economy; Building an advanced culture rich in national identity, building people, improving the material and spiritual life of the people, realizing progress and social justice; Firmly ensure national defense and security, social order and safety; Implement a foreign policy of independence, autonomy, multilateralization and diversification; peace, friendship, cooperation and development, proactive and positive comprehensive and extensive international integration; Building socialist democracy, promoting the will and strength of great national unity, combined with the strength of the times; Building a socialist law-governed state of the people, by the people, for the people; Build a clean and comprehensively strong Party and political system.
The more we go into practical direction, the more our Party realizes that the transition to socialism is a long, extremely difficult and complicated cause, because it must create a profound change in economics. quality in all areas of social life.
Vietnam moved to socialism from a backward agricultural country, ignoring the capitalist regime; The production force is very low, and we have to go through decades of war, the consequences are very severe; Hostile forces often seek to sabotage, making it even more difficult and complicated, so it is necessary to go through a long transition period with many steps and many forms of economic and social organization. intertwined, there is a struggle between the old and the new.
Talk about ignoring the capitalist regime leaves ignore the regime of oppression, injustice, and capitalist exploitation; ignore bad habits, institutions, and political institutions that are not compatible with the socialist regime, not even ignore the achievements and civilized values that humanity has achieved during the period. develop capitalism.
Of course, inheriting these achievements must also be selective from a scientific and development perspective.
Introducing the concept of developing a socialist-oriented market economy is a very basic and creative theoretical breakthrough of our Party, and an important theoretical achievement over nearly 40 years of implementing the reform policy. comes from Vietnamese practice and selectively absorbs world experience.
According to our perception, a socialist-oriented market economy is a modern, internationally integrated market economy, operating fully and synchronously according to the laws of the market economy, with the management of the socialist law-governed state, led by the Communist Party of Vietnam; ensuring socialist orientation, aiming for rich people, strong country, fair, democratic and civilized society.
It is a new type of market economy in the history of development of the market economy; A type of economic organization that both follows the rules of the market economy and is based on and guided and governed by the principles and nature of socialism, expressed in all three aspects: ownership, management and distribution.
This is not a capitalist market economy and also not a fully socialist market economy (because our country is still in a transition period).
In a socialist-oriented market economy, there are many forms of ownership and many economic sectors. Economic sectors operating according to the law are all important components of the economy, with equality before the law and long-term development, cooperation and healthy competition.
In which, the state economy plays the leading role; The collective economy and cooperative economy are constantly being consolidated and developed; The private economy is an important driving force of the economy; Foreign-invested economies are encouraged to develop in accordance with socio-economic development strategies and planning.
Distribution relationships ensure fairness and create motivation for development; Implement a distribution regime mainly based on labor results, economic efficiency, and at the same time according to the level of capital contribution and other resources and distribute through the social security and social welfare system. The State manages the economy through laws, strategies, planning, plans, policies and material forces to orient, regulate and promote socio-economic development.
A basic characteristic, an important attribute of the socialist orientation in the market economy in Vietnam is to link the economy with society, unify economic policy with social policy, and promote economic growth. go hand in hand with implementing progress and social justice right in every step, every policy and throughout the development process.
That means: Do not wait until the economy reaches a high level of development before implementing social progress and justice; Let’s not “sacrifice” progress and social justice to pursue simple economic growth.
On the contrary, every economic policy must aim at social development; Each social policy must aim to create motivation to promote economic development; Encouraging legal wealth must go hand in hand with hunger eradication, sustainable poverty reduction, and taking care of people with meritorious services and those in difficult circumstances.
This is a principled requirement to ensure healthy, sustainable, socialist-oriented development.
We consider culture to be the spiritual foundation of society, the endogenous strength, the driving force for national development and national defense; Determining synchronous cultural development in harmony with economic growth, progress, and social justice is a basic orientation of the process of building socialism in Vietnam.
The culture we build is an advanced culture, rich in national identity, a culture united in diversity, based on progressive and humane values; Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh’s ideology play a leading role in social spiritual life; inherit and promote the good traditional values of all ethnic groups in the country, absorb the achievements and quintessence of human culture, strive to build a civilized and healthy society for the benefit of humanity. integrity and human dignity, with increasing levels of knowledge, morality, physical fitness, lifestyle and aesthetics.
Our Party always determines: People hold a central position in the development strategy; Developing culture and building people is both the goal and the driving force of innovation; Developing education – training and science – technology is a top national policy; Environmental protection is one of the vital issues, a criterion for sustainable development; Building happy families, making progress, making healthy and strong cells of society, and implementing gender equality are the criteria of progress and civilization.
A socialist society is a society oriented towards progressive and humane values, based on the common interests of the entire society in harmony with the legitimate interests of people, qualitatively different from other societies. Society competes to appropriate private benefits among individuals and groups, so it is necessary and has conditions to build social consensus instead of opposition and social antagonism.
In the socialist political regime, the relationship between the Party, State and People is a relationship between subjects united in goals and interests; All Party guidelines, policies, laws and activities of the State are for the benefit of the People, taking the People’s happiness as the goal to strive for.
The political model and general operating mechanism are the Party’s leadership, the State’s management and the People’s ownership.
Democracy is the essence of the socialist regime, both the goal and the driving force of the work of building socialism; Building socialist democracy and ensuring that power truly belongs to the people is an important, long-term task of the Vietnamese revolution.
Our Party advocates constantly promoting democracy and building a truly socialist rule-of-law State of the people, by the people and for the people, on the basis of an alliance between workers, farmers and intellectuals led by the people. The Communist Party of Vietnam leads.
The State represents the people’s right to mastery and is at the same time the organizer of implementing the Party’s guidelines; There are mechanisms for people to exercise direct ownership and representative democracy in all areas of social life and participate in social management.
We realize that the socialist rule of law state is essentially different from the bourgeois rule of law state in that: Rule of law under capitalism is essentially a tool to protect and serve the people. interests of the bourgeoisie, while the rule of law under the socialist regime is a tool to express and exercise the people’s right to mastery, ensuring and protecting the interests of the majority of the people.
Through law enforcement, the State ensures the conditions for the people to be the subjects of political power, implementing dictatorship with all actions that harm the interests of the Fatherland and the people.
At the same time, our Party determines: Great national unity is a source of strength and a decisive factor in ensuring the sustainable victory of the revolutionary cause in Vietnam; constantly promote equality and solidarity between ethnicities and religions.
Deeply aware that the leadership of the Communist Party is the decisive factor in the success of the reform process and ensuring that the country develops in accordance with the socialist orientation, we pay special attention to the work of building , rectifying the Party, considering this a key task, of vital significance to the Party and the socialist regime.
The Communist Party of Vietnam is the vanguard of the Vietnamese working class; The Party was born, exists and develops for the benefit of the working class, the working people and the entire nation.
When the Party is in power and leads the entire nation, it is recognized by the entire people as its leadership vanguard and therefore the Party is the vanguard of the working class, and at the same time the vanguard of the working people and of the entire Vietnamese people.
Saying so does not mean downplaying the class nature of the Party, but rather showing a deeper and more complete awareness of the Party’s class nature, because the working class is the class with interests. unified with the interests of the working people and the entire nation.
Our Party persistently takes Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh’s thought as the ideological foundation and guideline for revolutionary action, taking democratic centralism as the basic organizational principle.
The Party leads with platform, strategy, policy orientations and major policies; by propaganda, persuasion, mobilization, organization, inspection, supervision and by exemplary actions of party members; unified leadership of staff work.
Aware of the risks to the ruling party of corruption, bureaucracy, degeneration…, especially in market economic conditions, the Communist Party of Vietnam has set a requirement to regularly innovate and self-correct. Cut down and fight against opportunism, individualism, corruption, bureaucracy, waste, degeneration… within the Party and in the entire political system.
The reform process, including the development of a socialist-oriented market economy, has achieved great achievements of historical significance, truly bringing great and very good changes to society. country for nearly 40 years, contributing to “Our country has never had the same fortune, potential, position and international prestige as it does today.”
From a colonial, semi-feudal country, our country has become an independent, sovereign country; The vast country of 330.000 square kilometers from Huu Nghi Quan to Cape Ca Mau with more than 2 kilometers of coastline and geopolitical and geo-economic importance has been brought together.
Before Doi Moi (1986), Vietnam was a poor country and was severely devastated by war, leaving enormous consequences for people, property and the ecological environment.
After the war, the US and the West imposed a siege and economic embargo on Vietnam for nearly 20 years. The regional and international situation is also complicated, causing many disadvantages for us. Food and essential goods are extremely lacking, people’s lives are extremely difficult, about 3/4 of the population lives below the poverty line.
