The miracles of the Vietnamese nation in thousands of years of history are rooted in the idea of "taking the people as the root". And this philosophy has been scientifically explained by President Ho Chi Minh and developed to a new height. The persuasiveness of Ho Chi Minh's ideology of "taking the people as the root" not only comes from the scientific, revolutionary, and humanistic nature expressed in each thesis, but is also guaranteed by his complete life for the country and for his people.
Lesson 1: People's hearts are "water's destiny"
"Taking the people as the root" is a red thread throughout Uncle Ho's thought and morality. This ideology has been applied by our Party to build a clean, strong Party and political system, operating effectively and efficiently from the grassroots. This has been proven through more than 93 years under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, more than 35 years of conducting the renovation of the country with many outstanding achievements.
Ho Chi Minh's thought on "taking the people as the root"
President Ho Chi Minh has raised the idea of "taking the people as the root" to a new height. The people are both the goal and the driving force of the revolutionary cause. For him, the people are both the owner and the object of leadership and service of cadres and party members. He said that "Revolution is a common matter of the people, not a matter of one or two people"; “Renovation and construction work is the responsibility of the people. The cause of resistance war and national construction is the work of the people." The revolutionary cause is initiated by the people, carried out by the people, and won by the people's efforts.
The strength of the Party's will and the people's will is the key to Binh Duong's successful implementation of the process of industrialization and modernization. In the photo: Modern urban industrial appearance in Thuan An city. Photo: Quoc Chien
Mr. Mai Thanh Chi, an old revolutionary cadre in Phu Cuong ward (Thu Dau Mot city), said that: Uncle affirmed that the revolution belongs to the people and is carried out by the people. This is clearly demonstrated. In the struggle for power, Uncle Ho advocated launching an all-people uprising; resistance war against the French colonialists and the US imperialists, implementing the line of all-people resistance; In the construction of socialism in the North, Uncle Ho called for the participation of all classes of people... Until the victory, each summative assessment, Uncle Ho was attributed to one cause, which was the people's victory. This point shows that President Ho Chi Minh considered the people's participation in the revolution as the source of decisive victory for the revolution.

The "people is the root" viewpoint of our Party is the continuation of lessons from the national tradition and the application of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought on the role of the masses. On the other hand, the contents of that perspective are constantly being improved, more comprehensive and deeper from the doi moi practice in Vietnam...

During his life of revolutionary activities, Uncle paid special attention to the close relationship between the Party and the people. He also warned of the dangers for the ruling party, including the risk of bureaucracy and alienation from the people. He considers the purity and strength of the Party as one of the factors ensuring the success of the revolutionary cause. If the Party wants to be strong, it must attach importance to and do well the work of Party building and rectification. Party building is not only the work of Party organizations at all levels and party members, but also the work of the people. The people help build the Party in many ways, such as: "Understanding the Party, supporting the Party, responding to the Party's calls, striving for the Party to understand the situation among the people, and honestly criticizing and expressing their opinions about the Party's work". Party members must rely on the people to build the Party. In order for the people to help, party members must wholeheartedly serve the people, believe in the people's forces, learn from the people, stay in close contact with the people, and never leave the people for a moment.
Applying Uncle Ho's thought in building the Party and the political system
Dr. Vu Trung Kien, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Party Building, Academy of Politics Region II, analyzed: During the process of building, growing up and leading the revolution, our Party has always firmly grasped the view that the masses are the people who make history; revolution is the cause of the masses of the people; People are the root of the country, the basis of all victories, the force that creates all material and spiritual wealth.
The "people is the root" viewpoint of our Party is the continuation of lessons from the national tradition and the application of Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's thought on the role of the masses. On the other hand, the contents of that perspective are constantly being improved, more comprehensive and deeper from the doi moi practice in Vietnam. In many documents, the Party consistently affirmed the role of the people in the success or failure of the doi moi; at the same time, the goal of renovation is for the people, pointing out the outstanding lesson: "The people are the root", all "for the people, by the people", "renovation for the happiness of the people and based on the people to innovate".
The 12th Congress (December 1986, 35) - Doi Moi congress summarized four lessons learned, the first one being: "In all its activities, the Party must thoroughly grasp the ideology of "taking the people as the root", building and promoting the mastery of the working people", the basis for motivating the people. And, after more than XNUMX years of renovation, our country has won great achievements of historical significance.
Thus, throughout the process of leading the country to socialism, our Party has always consistently held the view that "the cause of renovation must be for the sake of the people", away from and against the interests of the people, innovation will fail. The opinions, aspirations and initiatives of the people arising from reality are the source of the Party's reform policy. The people are the ones who make the achievements of innovation. Innovation must be based on the people, decided by the people's hearts. The people's resources are abundant, including the people's talents, the people's strength, the people's, and the people's rights; But the biggest, most important, and most decisive resource is the people's heart, and with the people's hearts, there's the people's power.
The red thread that runs through the spirit of the XNUMXth Party Congress is "the central role and position of the people" in the country's development strategy. This is clearly shown in all fields of economy, politics, culture, society, defense - security, foreign affairs... This is a step to perfect our Party's innovation theory about the people as the goal, motivation, resource, subject and center of the cause of national construction and defense as well as the national development strategy.
Maintaining the close relationship of a ruling Communist Party with the people is President Ho Chi Minh's top concern. He said: Our Party is a ruling Party, but “Party cadres and government cadres are not revolutionary mandarins. Party cadres as well as government cadres, even Uncle Ho, the highest cadre, are all servants of the people, must wholeheartedly serve the people, need to be thrifty, integrity, and righteous. To do that, we must be close to the people, encourage the people, and lead the people.”
