Eight characteristics of socialism being built in Viet Nam
15/4/14
Today, I want to
share with you my knowledge about characteristics of socialism and socialist
society in Vietnam.
The tenth
General Assembly of the Party (2006) had added and developed the model of
socialism in Vietnam
to make it more comprehensive, including eight characteristics.
The
characteristics of socialism that being built in Vietnam
indentified in the Draft Platform (addition, development) are the result of the
renovation work, primarily in awareness of socialism theory, based on the
creative application of Marxism - Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought, in
accordance with the practice in Vietnam
at current conditions. It is the result of a harmonious combination between
"the popular" and "the particularity", the general and the
specific to create a model named Vietnam socialism.
First feature: rich people, strong nation, democracy, justice, civilization
First feature: rich people, strong nation, democracy, justice, civilization
This is the most
general characteristic that affects other characteristics. It expresses goals
of socialism in Vietnam.
In our country, socialism is to make people rich, country powerful...; is fair
and reasonable; people enjoy equally freedom, democracy and live happy lives...
The throughout
thought of the Vietnam
revolution is national independence associated with socialism. For the people
of Vietnam,
only socialism could guarantee their desire for a strong and rich country with
democracy, fairness and civilization. This is the earnest desire of the entire
Vietnamese people after the fight to gain national independence and
reunification.
The second characteristic:
controlled by people
The advanced
feature of socialism in the 1st characteristic is also reflected in
the Party 's awareness of the gradual improvement of socialist democracy
associated with ensuring that all state power belongs people ( people is the
subject of all power).
The Draft
Platform has further confirmed: "socialist democracy is the nature of our
regime, both the goal and driving force of the national development.
Construction and gradual improvement of socialist democracy, ensuring that all
state power belongs to people. Democracy must be done in reality at all levels,
all sectors through the operation of state which elected by people and in the
forms of direct democracy...".
The third
characteristic: having the highly developed economy based on modern production
forces and modes of public ownership of the major means of production.
This is typical
feature in the economic field of socialism that we are building compared to
other social regime.
The Draft
continued to assert: the basic contradictions of capitalism, especially the
conflict between the modern production forces and the private ownership in
capitalism, can not be solved and getting worse.
The Party
reaffirmed that: the State economy plays a key role and the collective economy
is constantly consolidated and developed. The State economy and collective
economy becomes increasingly the solid foundation of the national economy.
The forth
characteristic: having the advanced culture imbued with national identity
The preservation and development of the national
culture, the selection of the traditional values and the construction of the
new ones have turned the most important than any time in history. The
traditional cultural values should be preserved but should be also enriched by
the advanced cultural values of the mandkind. Culture should be modernized but
should not be separated from the nation. And the goal is to build a
culture of Vietnam
unified in diversity.
The fifth characteristic:
people having a life of prosperity, liberty and happiness; and having
conditions to develop comprehensively.
Creatively
applying and developing Marxism - Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought about humans
in a socialist society, the Draft have determined values that reflect demand
and practical aspirations of the people of Vietnam today are: a life of
prosperity, liberty and happiness and conditions to develop comprehensively.
The sixth
characteristic: the ethnics in Vietnam
community are equal, united, respected and helping each other to develop.
This feature
shows how superior in the Vietnam’s
ethnic policy, properly resolving the ethnic relations in the multi-ethnic
country of Vietnam.
After 25 years
of innovation country, the results have demonstrated superiority in Vietnam ethnic policy of the Party and State and
socialism in resolving ethnic relations in Vietnam. Due to these results our
tradition of great national unity and consensus in the community of 54 ethnic
groups have been promoting and fighting against the plot of the hostile forces
to divide Vietnamese ethnic community.
The seventh
characteristic: having socialist and lawful State, of the people, by the people,
for the people, under the Communist Party leadership.
The advantage of
a society owned by the people closely associated with the primacy of the
socialist and lawful State. The State closely link with the people, fully
implement all of democratic rights of the people; respect and listen to
people's opinions and subject to the supervision of the people; have mechanisms
and measures to control, prevent and punish bureaucracy, corruption,
wastefulness, irresponsibility, abusing of power, violating democratic rights
of citizens...
The eighth
characteristic: having friendly and cooperative relations
Vietnam always affirmed friendly
and cooperative ties with the peoples of the world. Vietnam is a friend and reliable
partner of all countries in the international community... The Party and
State's policy is to equal cooperation and mutual benefit with all countries,
regardless of their political and social status on the basis of the fundamental
principles of the UN Charter and international law.
The active
international integration and participation in organizations, international and
regional forums have vividly demonstrated the superiority of the socialism that
Vietnamese people are building.

1. socialism, social and economic doctrine that calls for public rather than private ownership or control of property and natural resources.
No matter what had happened, capitalism will come to its end soon, and socialism will find its way through this hard time
Bravo the Socialist Republic of Vietnam! I love Vietnam, I love socialism!
Vietnam has a planned socialist economy that puts the interest of its people before the profits of corporations or individuals. Private and foreign business is tightly controlled
Socialism and the path to socialism is a fundamental and practical theoretical topic with broad and complicated content, demanding thorough and in-depth study.
As you know, socialism can be understood in three different aspects: socialism as a doctrine, socialism as a movement, and socialism as a regime. Each aspect has different manifestations, depending on the world outlook and development level in a specific historical period. The socialism I want to discuss here is a scientific socialism based on Marxist-Leninist doctrine in the current era.
We need a society where development is truly for humans, instead of exploiting and trampling on human dignity for the sake of profits. We need economic development in parallel with social progress and fairness instead of a widening gap between the rich and the poor and social inequality.
we should speed up national industrialization and modernization; develop a knowledge-based and socialist-oriented market economy; build an advanced culture imbued with national identity; boost human resource development; improve people’s living standards; promote social progress and fairness; ensure national defense; safeguard national security and social order; implement a foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, friendship, cooperation, and development; proactively integrate into the world; build a socialist democracy; exercise national unity; expand the national unification front; build a law-governed socialist state of the people, by the people, and for the people; and build a stronger, more transparent Party.
We are aware that ours is an extremely complex and unprecedented undertaking, which will require us to learn the lessons we will need as we go along. Our journey will demand all of our ingenuity and vitality.
i love my country, I would advocate my strength to build up my country, bravo our Party, bravo my Vietnam!
