Understanding democratic leadership in Ho Chi Minh’ thought

Ho Chi Minh Ideology Wednesday, 12:19 29-11-2023
Abstract: Democratic leadership is a subject of interest for many people from various angles. However, researchers often focus on the external forms and do not delve into the intrinsic nature and the comprehensive principles that connect the content and form. They also have not pointed out the objective relationships and development of these aspects. This paper clarifies the current situation and proposes solutions for building democratic leadership in political and social organizations.

Foreign policy of the Cuban revolution: a legacy of resilience

Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical foundations and ideological structure shaping the foreign policy of the Cuban Revolution, emphasizing its continuity with the nation’s long struggle for independence and sovereignty. From the legacy of the Mambí Army, the republican resistance, and José Martí’s ideal of national unity, Cuban diplomacy first emerged as a tool to seek recognition from the Latin American community. After the January 1959 Revolution, this policy was systematically consolidated, oriented toward building an independent, sovereign diplomacy grounded in the core principles of international law, such as non-interference, sovereign equality, peace promotion, and solidarity for development. Influenced by Marxist thought and Cuba’s unique geostrategic position, the country became an active player in international affairs, including the Missile Crisis, the Non-Aligned Movement, and solidarity campaigns in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. The study particularly underscores the central role of Cuba’s struggle against the U.S. economic and financial blockade—a policy that has caused severe harm to the Cuban people’s livelihood. The article also highlights Cuba’s consistent foreign policy positions on the global stage: rejecting all forms of hegemony and intervention, demanding the return of Guantánamo, safeguarding sovereignty, and advocating for a multipolar, fair, and democratic world order.

Abstract: Hồ Chí Minh’s ideological legacy contains profound insights into the law and the vital role of the people in both the formulation and implementation of legal systems. These ideas were not only expressed through his writings but also effectively applied in his leadership and governance practices. Therefore, studying and applying Hồ Chí Minh’s thought on this matter is of great significance to the ongoing construction of a socialist rule-of-law state “of the people, by the people, and for the people” in Vietnam today.

Abstract: Along with the study, application, and development of Marxist - Leninist ideology and Ho Chi Minh Thought, current practice requires strengthening the protection of the Party's ideological foundation, combating, and refuting erroneous and hostile views. Among these erroneous views is the discourse that denies and distorts “Ho Chi Minh is not a thinker, there is no Ho Chi Minh Thought”. This article contributes to the identification and criticism of the discourse that denies and distorts Ho Chi Minh Thought.

During his lifetime, Ho Chi Minh always regarded the press as a frontline of the revolutionary struggle. Therefore, he believed that journalists were revolutionary soldiers, and their pens and papers were their sharp weapons. Ho Chi Minh emphasized: "For those of us who write newspapers, the pen is a sharp weapon, and the article is a revolutionary leaflet to inspire the masses to unite in the struggle against both old and new colonialism, imperialism (especially the American imperial) to fight for national independence, social progress, and world peace". To fulfil this mission, journalists must be revolutionary soldiers. This requires journalists to possess the qualities of revolutionary cadres, not fearing hardship or sacrifice, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to serving the Fatherland and the people.
