Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought - the solid ideological foundation of our Party

There are some people both in Vietnam and overseas who intentionally or mistakenly side with people of prejudiced and extreme views to distort and oppose to the trend of development of the country. They have tried to use different ways to deny Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought. They have also tried to take advantages of the media, both traditional and modern ones, to fiercely sabotage the current political regime in Vietnam. They regarded Marxist-Leninism only valuable in the period from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century and at present it is inappropriate. They want to “remove Ho Chi Minh Idol from his post”.
Is that true that Marxist-Leninism is a wrong theory,  and if it is not wrong it is out of date as slandered by the so-called  “democrats” and “dissidents”? They are totally wrong! Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and V.I Lenin always regarded their theories as methodologies for action. Marxist-Leninism Doctrine is an open doctrine, and is always supplemented with new energy from life. Only the dogma and inconsiderate study of the theory to properly and creatively apply to concrete condition of the country in different periods can lead to failure and make vivid and dialectical values stained and rotten. The disintegration of the socialist models in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries in the last decade of the 20th century has clearly manifested. Together with the denial of Marxist-Leninism, they have tried to use different ways to deny Ho Chi Minh Thought. In essence, they want to “remove Ho Chi Minh Idol from his post”; intentionally regard Ho Chi Minh Thought as opposite or of the same fate with Marxist-Leninism and not create the driving force for the development of the nation. It is necessary to affirm that Ho Chi Minh Thought has its origin from and is the creative development of Marxist-Leninism in concrete conditions of Vietnam in accordance with each revolution period, and is a factor leading to victory of Vietnamese revolution. Not only the quintessence of the good of the Vietnamese national culture, but in essence, Ho Chi Minh Ideology is also the doctrine of development. A number of scholars, politicians, and cultural and social activists in Vietnam and abroad regard Ho Chi Minh Ideology as value of development, and a “necessity” for the 21st century and the following ones of the Vietnamese and the mankind, as a whole. This observation is not emotional, but an unification of reason and feeling. In his points of view, Ho Chi Minh was not under the illusion of the development of the Vietnamese nation. Though being in right determination and of great glory, the path to move forward of the Vietnamese revolution was uneven. This is the struggle against the old and damaged things in order to build fresh ones requiring everybody to unite as a steadfast block for the goal of the socialism. The solidarity based on the right awareness of objectivity, the unity of ideology to find out and subject to the truth which is beneficial for the Fatherland, the people, the progress, the well off, free and forever happy life of the people.
The dissidents of Ho Chi Minh thought regularly use short-comings of the reality in their arguments. The fact shows that in the process of guiding the state and society, our Party has still made some mistakes, however, those mistakes have not originated from the Party’s ideological foundation or the essence of the political regime led by the Party. This is mainly due to inappropriate awareness and application and the unscientific and unrealistic implementation. Not acknowledging the reality, the so-called “democrats”, “patriots” have used forums to propose their “conception” and “advised” our Party. According to them, if our Party continues to pursue Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought, it will lead to the stagnation! They argue that the development of the world is the assembling of the quintessence and not only Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought! It is necessary to mention that Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought is not only the quintessence of the human being and our nation, but also the resonance and multiplication of these values, since the essence of Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought is scientific and revolutionary. This is undeniable and has been proved by the reality and practice. From the beginning, founders of the scientific communism had integrated current of ideas of development. They had emphasized many times that their doctrines were not dogmas, but a compass for action, the outlook and methodology to open the path for the development of intellect.

Recognizing this, Ho Chi Minh had always been imbued with basic principles of Marxist-Leninism, simultaneously absorbed the quintessence of national and international cultures to diversify and heighten  Marxist-Leninism to a new level. He became an outstanding cultural activist of the nation and humankind. Exaggerating the difficulties and challenges in Vietnam in recent years, the so-called “democrats” insist to abandon Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought for the development of Vietnam. They also argue that the 21st century is the century of the flat world and globalization, Vietnam should not keep obstinately old theories and ideologies! As a matter of fact, our Party’s regarding of Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought as ideological foundation and a compass for action is the in creative and dialectical constancy of development. The way of development in Vietnam does not mean ideological pluralism. The level of democracy depends on the nature of the political regime, on the capacity, quality and ability of the political ruling party, and intellectual standard of the people, but not on the quantity of parties and flows of ideology and theory. As a matter of fact, they want to have different ideology and theory from Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Ideology. But what kind of the theories? There will never be an ideology or theory capable of bringing our nation toward the goal: “a wealthy people, a powerful country, and a democratic, equitable and civilized society” as the one of Marxist-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh.

V.I. Lenin pointed out that: “In the present phase, that of fierce internal war, the Central Committee can fulfil its task only if it is organised in the most centralised way, if there is inner-Party iron discipline, almost as rigorous as military discipline, and if the central organ of the Party is influential and enjoys the general esteem of all its members.”

Lenin meant that the stage of fierce civil war and the restriction of democracy imposed on the Soviet people were only provisional and had to be abolished as soon as the new regime was consolidated.

However, our enemies hoped to undermine the socialist camp from inside. They made a big error in thinking that their hopes could come true, mistaking the development of socialist democracy for a beginning of disorder and utter loss of spirit of organisation and inner Party discipline among Marxist-Leninist parties.

It is crystal clear that once victorious, socialism can never tolerate the personality cult and its harmful consequences.

Such a policy certainly enhances now as in the future the prestige of the C.P.S.U. in the socialist camp, as well as among the toiling masses of the capitalist countries and dependant countries.

For A Peace World 7/7/15 09:55

An uproarious campaign of slander, launched by our enemies on the Communist Party
for having worked out measures to liquidate the consequcnces of the personality cult, proves that they were blind politically; history will confirm it before long.

In the struggle to build a peaceful, unified, independent, democratic, prosperous and strong Viet Nam, the Viet Nam Workers’ Party has always grasped the identity between the interests of the struggle for the liberation of all peoples from imperialist yoke and those of the struggle for the liberation of the toiling masses from exploiting capitalism.

n a wider meaning, in the struggle for national reunification, the Viet Nam Workers’ Party has never isolated itself from the fraternal parties, in its whole practice, it has proved that genuine patriotism can never be separated from proletarian internationalism, and that the fraternal alliance between all fighters for a common cause - liberation of mankind, building of a classless society, peaceful co-existence and lasting peace - is unshakable.

Marxism-Leninism remains the unshakable basis of the common struggle of all parties, exchange of experiences on this struggle keeps its full meaning and questions arising for this or that party is in no way this or that party’s ‘own concern’, but has vital connection with the international proletariat as a whole.

Voice of people 7/7/15 09:59

The Viet Nam Workers’ Party has recorded big results in the creative application of Marxism-Leninism to the Vietnamese reality.
