Closely combine the requirement of protecting the Party's ideological foundation, fighting against erroneous and hostile views on training, fostering andeducating cadres, party members, trainees and students about patriotism.

For a long time, in the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation, to protect the Party, to protect the regime, cadres, Party members and the masses have always upheld their sense of responsibility and the spirit of being proactive, positive, determined and persistent in fighting and refuting wrong and hostile viewpoints, bad and toxic information to protect the scientific and revolutionary nature of Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's thought, the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, to protect the achievements of the renovation process and the cause of building socialism in order to maintain the path to socialism in Vietnam.

However, there are still some people who lack awareness and responsibility and spread, tolerate, and support wrong and hostile views, and even disseminate bad and toxic information that undermines the regime and causes social instability, which must be fought and condemned.

However, there is also an equally dangerous situation where people show indifference, apathy, and irresponsibility towards false information. When they see something true, they do not protect, spread, or replicate it; when they see something wrong, bad, or toxic information that sabotages the Party and the State, and goes against the interests of the nation and people, they do not dare to fight or refute it. Worryingly, among these people are officials and party members working in state agencies. The easily recognizable manifestations of these people are indifference, apathy, lack of responsibility, avoidance of struggle, selfishness, narrow-mindedness, only caring about personal interests, not caring about economic, political , and social events taking place around them; indifferent to the cause of building and defending the socialist Fatherland, not caring about fighting against false arguments, bad, or toxic information. These people even deliberately justify that it is not their responsibility.

With such views and lifestyles, these individuals become increasingly sluggish and lazy in performing their assigned duties and tasks, avoid studying political theory, neglect training in revolutionary ethics, stray from Marxism-Leninism, the Party's goals and ideals, and even disregard the Party's resolutions and directives and the State's policies and laws.

Therefore, despite being called "servants" of the people, these cadres and party members not only do not set an example in the fight to protect the Party, protect the regime, protect the interests of the country and the people, but also live a life of "covering one's ears", "peace is precious", "indifferent to the Party, dry of the Youth Union, far from politics", not caring about anything other than their own personal interests, indifferent to everything as long as their interests are not harmed.

At the same time, a segment of the population has also emerged in society, including many young people who choose to live selfishly, living only for themselves, for themselves, not caring about things outside themselves. Therefore, in their daily lives, as well as when participating in social networks, although these individuals often encounter false, hostile arguments, bad, toxic information distorting the regime, defaming Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's thought, defaming the Party, the government, defaming the history of the nation, denying the great achievements of the renovation process, fabricating false information related to the implementation of democracy, human rights, and religious freedom of the Party and State of Vietnam... they have chosen to ignore, not care, not express their opinions. Many people believe that the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation, protect the Party and State's guidelines, policies, laws, and socialism is the job of the Party, the State, and the authorities, not the people's duty, so they refuse to get involved to "avoid trouble."

Most of these people believe that as long as they remain silent, do not follow wrong and hostile views, do not participate in spreading bad and toxic information, do not provide information or assist others, or directly take specific actions against the Party and the government, they have done their duty.

However, this is an incorrect perception because the coldness, indifference, apathy, avoidance of responsibility, and failure to speak out against wrong and hostile viewpoints have invisibly created opportunities for bad and toxic viewpoints to spread more and more widely, helping anti-government elements have the conditions to steer and lead public opinion, causing confusion, dividing the great national unity bloc, and undermining the people's trust in the Party, the State, and the path to socialism in Vietnam.

In some cases, indifference, apathy, apathy, and avoidance of responsibility are among the important reasons why acts of sabotage against the Party and the government by hostile and reactionary forces at home and abroad in many localities have not been detected early enough to be promptly prevented and handled, thereby leaving behind serious consequences.

This reality shows that indifference, apathy, and irresponsibility in the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation are a mistake to the country and the people. There is even a viewpoint that says: "The silence of good people is more dangerous than the cruelty of bad people."

Especially for cadres and party members, indifference, apathy, apathy, and avoidance of responsibility in the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation have left extremely serious consequences by depriving cadres and party members of their enthusiasm, zeal, and responsibility; reducing the prestige, leadership capacity, and fighting strength of the Party organization, and the effectiveness and efficiency of the State's management and administration and socio-political organizations. From here, these cadres and party members also become bad examples in the political system, negatively affecting people's awareness and the healthy development of society.

Cadres and party members who suffer from indifference, apathy, apathy, and shirking of responsibility are no different from people who “cover their own eyes with their hands,” “cover their own ears with cotton wool,” “cover their own mouths with tape,” and sever the ties that connect cadres and party members with the masses, with organizations, agencies, units, and with the cause of building and defending the socialist Fatherland. That also means they have excluded themselves from the Party ranks, unwittingly lending a hand to hostile and reactionary forces.

Therefore, these can be considered manifestations of the degradation of political ideology and lifestyle ethics leading to "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in a number of cadres and party members as clearly pointed out by our Party; at the same time, these are also the things that party members are not allowed to do according to the Regulations on things party members are not allowed to do (No. 37-QD/TW, dated October 25, 2021) of the Central Executive Committee: "seeing the right but not defending, seeing the wrong but not fighting".

To completely cure the disease of indifference, apathy, irresponsibility, avoidance and not daring to fight against false, bad, toxic information that is against the Party and the State today, it is necessary to synchronously implement a number of solutions as follows: First of all, it is necessary to strengthen and strongly innovate the content and methods of education and propaganda to raise awareness of all cadres, party members and the masses so that each person clearly, correctly and fully understands his or her responsibility in the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation and protect the regime; it is necessary to regularly educate cadres, party members and the masses to constantly raise awareness of the struggle to protect the Party, protect the government, and protect socialism because this is to protect a free, prosperous, happy life, opportunities for comprehensive development and a bright future for each person. Therefore, this is not the responsibility of any organization, agency or functional force alone, but must be determined to be the responsibility of the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people.

Along with that, it is necessary to further strengthen propaganda work, set examples of good people and good deeds, widely spread bright examples and good practices in the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation, implement the motto "use beauty to eliminate ugliness", "use positivity to push back negativity"; do better in emulation work, timely and worthy rewards for advanced models, which will have the effect of encouraging, motivating and creating motivation for each person to be determined and try to contribute more to the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation.

In addition, it is necessary to perfect the mechanism and policies to protect those who dare to think, dare to do, dare to speak out and strongly fight against hostile viewpoints, bad and toxic information, and wrongful acts that sabotage the revolutionary cause of Vietnam. Particularly for cadres and party members, in order to eradicate the disease of indifference, apathy, apathy, and shirking responsibility in the struggle to protect the Party's ideological foundation, it is necessary to further improve the quality of training, fostering, and training cadres and party members in all aspects, especially training in ideological stance, political viewpoints, and revolutionary ethics; promote criticism and self-criticism, publicly evaluate, comment, and classify cadres to resolutely remove those who have degenerated and become corrupt from the Party.
