Clarifying 5 new points

According to Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Minh, former Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, this is a very complete, comprehensive and profound article on the Party’s views. Communist Vietnam for the basic and most important contents of the Vietnamese revolution since the country was peaceful, independent and unified until now. That is the problem of building socialism and the path to socialism of the Vietnamese nation. In the article, the General Secretary posed the most crucial and decisive questions of the Vietnamese nation today, such as: What is socialism? Why did Vietnam choose the socialist path? How and how to gradually build socialism in Vietnam? According to Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Minh, the meaning of the article must be recognized, evaluated and considered in the current practical context, associated with three important factors. Firstly, the article was published on the eve of the election of deputies to the XV National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2021-2026 term, that is, before an event of great significance, on the 23rd of this month. In May 2021, voters nationwide go to elect their representatives to the country’s highest authority. The General Secretary wants to remind everyone that it is not anyone else but the voters, who must raise their sense of responsibility and wisely choose talented and virtuous people to be elected to the National Assembly. Because this is the agency that makes important decisions about the path we have walked, the achievements we have achieved and will be the place to solve difficulties and challenges in the future. Secondly, the article was born in the context that our country celebrates the 131st birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, the founder of the State of Vietnam, the leader and teacher of the Vietnamese revolution. We review, look back on what we have done and the way to go. Thirdly, this is also an opportunity for the General Secretary to clarify his views and clearly define Vietnam’s position on the issue of socialism in Vietnam, in order to criticize wrong views, smear and distort the Vietnamese government. hostile forces in order to lower the Party’s prestige, sow distrust and shake people’s faith in the nation’s path to socialism. Sharing about the content of the article, Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Minh emphasized that the article has analyzed and clarified 5 new important points. First of all, the General Secretary affirmed that the achievements of capitalism are undeniable and that these are the achievements and common progress of mankind and therefore we need to be selectively absorbed. This is very important, because from time to time, there are also some people who think that everything that belongs to feudalism, capitalism, and the old regime is evil, wrong and comes to a clean denial. That is a conservative view, heavily colored with ideological confrontation, clearly distinguishing between us and the enemy, friend and enemy, what is good for us, and what is in the enemy’s is also bad. We recognize that capitalism has never been as global as it is today and has also achieved many great achievements, especially in the field of emancipation and development of productive power. science and technology development.” Second, when talking about socialism, the General Secretary mentioned three aspects, three connotations, and three qualities of socialism. It is socialism as a doctrine, a movement and a regime. Such a view of socialism is very scientific, multidimensional and comprehensive. Because, if one sees socialism only as a movement, it is easy to fluctuate because of the “up or down” of that movement. If we only look at socialism as a doctrine, it is easy to see that it is “sclerotic, dogmatic, backward”. And if you look at it as a regime, I am afraid that the reality in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries makes it easy to doubt. Third, we often say that Vietnam went to socialism, ignoring the capitalist development stage, but in this article, the General Secretary pointed out, ignoring the capitalist development stage. that is, only ignoring the limitations of capitalism such as oppression, injustice, exploitation, and vices, but not ignoring the achievements of civilized values ​​that mankind has achieved in the period of capitalist development. capitalism and selective inheritance. We need to be wise, sober and selectively inherit the achievements and values ​​of civilization that humanity has achieved such as technology, economics, medicine, etc. Fourthly, Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Minh also said that, in the article, building socialism according to the General Secretary is creating a new type of society in terms of quality, which is unlike any other model. any picture in the world. Or the socialist-oriented market economy is a theoretical breakthrough. Those things are typical of Vietnam, only of Vietnam. Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Minh said: “This is the biggest challenge for Vietnam because if it has to build a completely new type of society that has not been found in the world, it will be extremely difficult and challenging, because Because we can’t learn from the experience of those who went before, we have to be the ones to pave the way to “exploit the mountain and break the stone”. But we can do it, because just like in the period of the American Resistance War, many countries are afraid of the US, don’t dare and don’t know how to fight the US? But we have researched, pondered, studied and made the determination that we can defeat the US and have defeated the US.” Finally, highly appreciate the conclusion of the General Secretary in the article: “We need to absorb and selectively supplement in the spirit of criticism and creativity the latest achievements in ideology and science to Our doctrines and doctrines are always fresh, always invigorated, carrying the breath of the times, not falling into stagnation, stagnation, and backwardness compared to life”, Professor, Tien Doctor Pham Quang Minh said that the General Secretary had clearly expressed his views on the importance of learning together with practice, theory must be closely linked with practice, learning critically, creatively, absolutely. not being dogmatic, machines lead to intellectual sclerosis and backwardness. More than ever, we must always raise the spirit of learning, absorbing creatively in a critical spirit, only then will we be “invigorated with new vitality”. According to Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Minh, this also shows that the General Secretary, through the article, wants to remind us that Vietnam’s science does not seem to have updated and absorbed the latest achievements. about the world’s ideology and science, have not yet applied these achievements creatively to the practice of building socialism in Vietnam. Going up to socialism associated with the path of sustainable development phát Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Chu Hoi, Standing Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fisheries Association, said that as a 40-year-old Party member, he feels proud of the Party, firmly believes in the driver, and The Central Committee of the Party leads the country firmly on the path of building socialism, successfully realizing the “Vietnamese aspiration” as pointed out by the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress. Agreeing with the General Secretary’s comments on global challenges related to inadequately resolving the relationship between development and the environment: “Along with the economic-financial crisis is the energy and wage crisis. In fact, the depletion of natural resources, the degradation of the ecological environment, etc. are posing enormous challenges for the existence and development of mankind”, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Chu Hoi emphasized, the consequences of the non-environmental approach, development at all costs, does not consider the environment and resources as a mandatory factor to consider when choosing development and consumption methods. has left “the consequences of a process of socio-economic development taking profit as the ultimate goal, considering the possession of wealth and increasing material consumption as a measure of civilization, taking personal interests as a pillar of society”, as the General Secretary wrote. Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Chu Hoi said that, in the article, under the lens of analyzing theory, practice and lessons learned on dealing with the relationship between socio-economic development and environmental protection. environment, conservation of resources and cultural values ​​on a global scale clearly shows that the path to socialism is also associated with the path of sustainable development of the country in terms of economy, politics and society. society, culture and environment. It is the right choice, has strategic stature, ensures long-term economic efficiency, the country has “food and property”. From the perspective of his experience in the field of marine management, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fisheries Association shared that in order to realize the great ideas of the General Secretary, it is necessary to review the Land Law; develop a new law on the use of the sea to develop a green and sustainable marine economy, contributing to firmly protecting Vietnam’s rights and interests in the East Sea. In addition, it is very urgent to strengthen conservation activities in the sea, coastal areas and islands of our country, including both terrestrial and underground landscapes. All-encompassing and groundbreaking is the issue of human resources, in which people are affirmed as both the goal and the driving force to promote and maintain the country’s sustainable development. to the level of success of the process of implementing “Vietnam aspiration”. Therefore, in this article, the General Secretary has identified and oriented: “People hold a central position in the development strategy; cultural development, human development is both the goal and the driving force of the renovation; development of education – training and science – technology is the leading national policy; environmental protection is one of the vital issues, a criterion for sustainable development; Building a happy family, making progress as a healthy and solid cell of the society, realizing gender equality is the criterion of progress and civilization. In particular, these are not only priority tasks in innovation and creativity of the country on the road to building socialism, but also demonstrate the superiority of socialism that our Party steadfastly chooses. and do it patiently.
