In early 1969, on the occasion of the 39th anniversary of the Party's founding, President Ho Chi Minh wrote the article "Improving revolutionary ethics, wiping out individualism" published in Nhan Dan newspaper, issue 5409, February 3, 1969. This is his last article on revolutionary ethics, which has been, is and will become the theoretical basis for the work of building and rectifying the Party, building our Party "as ethics, as civilization".

At the beginning of the work, he wrote: “Our Party’s leadership has been very wise, leading our nation to progress continuously from one victory to another.” However, he also severely criticized many cadres and party members who have fallen into individualism, so “their morality and qualities are still low,” “they think of their own interests first in everything.” The harm of individualism is extremely great, extremely dangerous to the Party and the revolution. “Because of individualism, we are afraid of hardships and difficulties, fall into corruption, depravity, waste, extravagance… greed for fame and profit, love for power and position… distance ourselves from the masses… loss of solidarity…”. All of these are diseases and shortcomings that arise under the conditions of the ruling party, which will affect the Party’s reputation and reduce the people’s trust in the Party.
Over the past 93 years, the Communist Party of Vietnam has established, consolidated and increasingly enhanced its leadership role, strength and prestige towards the revolution and the people, and has been wholeheartedly trusted, supported and protected by the people. Under the leadership of the Party, our nation has achieved one victory after another, creating many miracles in the 20th century. During the period of renovation, the Party has led the country to overcome all difficulties and challenges and achieve many great, comprehensive and historic achievements, bringing our country to stand shoulder to shoulder with the world powers.
The 13th National Congress of the Party determined: “In the coming years, we must pay special attention to and further promote the comprehensive building and rectification of the Party in terms of politics, ideology, ethics, organization and cadres”. In particular, building the Party in terms of ethics is the “foundation” and “root” for a clean and strong Party, enhancing the Party’s leadership and governing capacity. “Research, supplement and perfect revolutionary ethical values… to suit new conditions and the fine cultural traditions of the nation”. “Promote revolutionary ethical education, making each cadre and Party member clearly see their duties and responsibilities… Raise awareness of cultivating, training and practicing revolutionary ethics. Strengthen the fight against anti-ethical and unethical views and behaviors. Encourage and praise good examples of ethics, creating a profound influence in the Party and society”.
The 16th Kon Tum Provincial Party Congress (2020-2025) emphasized: "Promoting revolutionary ethics education, promoting the responsibility of setting an example for leaders, cadres, and party members in implementing local and unit tasks... Building a team of cadres, civil servants, and public employees with moral qualities, capacity, responsibility, and dedication to assigned tasks". At the same time, review, handle, dismiss, and replace cadres who do not meet the conditions and standards, have poor moral qualities, and low credibility.
In the past half term, the Party building work has achieved many important results, contributing to building an increasingly clean and strong Party organization, leading the successful implementation of socio-economic development targets, ensuring national defense and security in the province. However, the 12th Conference of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, term XVI (meeting on June 30, 2023) assessed: "The work of propaganda and political and ideological education for cadres, party members and the masses is sometimes and in some places still limited, the responsibility of setting an example of some cadres and party members is not high, there are still some cadres and party members who have degraded in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, "self-evolution", "self-transformation" within the organization".
In that situation, it is very important to continue to build the Party organization, pay attention to building, nurturing and educating a team of cadres and Party members with full moral qualities, creative capacity, both red and professional following Ho Chi Minh's ideology. Party committees and organizations at all levels need to closely follow their characteristics, requirements, functions and tasks to implement, in which they need to focus on the following contents:
Firstly, we must fully and deeply perceive the important role and position of Party building work in terms of ethics; and the urgency of improving revolutionary ethics and eliminating individualism.
Second, it is necessary to strongly innovate and enhance the persuasiveness of political and ideological education. In building the Party on ethics, it is necessary to synchronously implement both the contents of "building" and "fighting". "Building" is fundamental, long-term, and consistent, "fighting" is important and urgent, implemented by comprehensive and strong solutions, aiming at creating a solid and sustainable moral foundation and fighting to prevent, strictly handle, and effectively push back the degradation of political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, "self-evolution", and "self-transformation".
Third, continue to innovate and improve the quality of Party committee and cell activities, associated with promoting self-criticism and criticism, "self-reflection and self-correction" of each cadre and Party member, without having to wait until superiors request or suggest.
Fourth, uphold discipline within the Party; each Party committee and organization, especially the leader, must attach importance to and promote inspection and supervision work.
Fifth, promote the emulation movement to study and follow Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style in a practical and effective manner, focusing on building models and typical examples in Party building work on morality. Press agencies must increase reflection and introduction of good people and good deeds among Party members and the masses, creating a widespread and profound influence in the community, and strengthening trust in society. The work of commendation must also select worthy people and honor them promptly.
Improving revolutionary ethics and fighting against individualism is a major, important and practical content that must be carried out regularly, long-term and persistently. Party committees, party organizations and each of us need to be more deeply imbued with President Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on revolutionary ethics, have a more determined attitude in fighting against individualism, and build our Party to be worthy of "being ethical" and "being civilized", capable of steering the Vietnamese revolutionary boat, bringing our country to prosperous and happy development according to his wishes.
