The history of human society is the history of class struggle, the opposing classes in society always fight with each other, the cause comes from the conflict of interests, the basic of which is economic interests. These struggles ultimately aim to reform or replace the outdated society in order to build a new, better society and bring more practical benefits to the majority of people in society. And once the lives of the majority of the people are improved, it is an extremely great happiness for them.
In the relationship between humans and nature, humans always fight against earthquakes, floods, droughts... to overcome obstacles caused by nature, effectively serving human life, helping to improve human life, then humans feel happy.
“Happiness is struggle”, just looking at the reality in Vietnam, we can clearly see that truth. To have the foundation as it is today, throughout thousands of years of history, the Vietnamese people living on the S-shaped strip of land have had to fight tirelessly with nature and foreign invaders to survive. Since the Party took leadership (February 3, 1930), the Vietnamese people have fought steadfastly to gain independence and freedom; countless comrades and compatriots have sacrificed for the happiness of the people to create the great victory in the historic spring of 1975.
After the country's reunification, the whole country moved towards socialism, the whole Party and people again entered the task of building and defending the Fatherland. Each Vietnamese person again entered the struggle against poverty and backwardness. Since the 6th Congress, the Party acknowledged the existence of commodity production in socialism. Then, in the following congresses, the Party determined that developing a socialist-oriented market economy is a consistent strategic policy to mobilize all development resources and promote the country's industrialization and modernization.
Persistently developing according to this model, after 30 years of renovation, our country's economic structure has changed positively, the socio-economic infrastructure has been improved synchronously and modernly; the material and spiritual life of the people has been significantly improved. National defense and security have been maintained. Foreign affairs and international integration have been proactively and effectively implemented, bringing the country to integrate more comprehensively and deeply into the region and the world, creating a peaceful and stable environment, thereby increasing the position and strength for the country's economic development.

In recent years, in the face of complex political developments in the world and the negative impact of the market economy, cadres, party members and people have persistently fought to contribute to maintaining solidarity and unity, promoting the Party's leadership in carrying out the historical mission assigned, and preserving the flesh-and-blood relationship between the Party and the people. In the struggle, the Party's seriousness has been demonstrated, that is, the uncompromising fight against wrong thoughts and actions, thereby actively contributing to the cause of building a strong Party.
More than 130 years since Karl Marx passed away, we still remember him with the concept that human happiness is struggle. And it was Marx who devoted his whole life to fighting for the progress of human society. His whole life he fought tirelessly to protect and perfect dialectical materialism, the core content of Marxism-Leninism, the compass for the struggle of the working class, for the national liberation movement in the world.
“Happiness is struggle”, every Vietnamese person will follow the example of Karl Marx in fighting to build a rich, civilized country, contributing to building a stable and prosperous world.
“Marxism-Leninism shows us the direction and path. Only when we have the right direction can we do the right thing. Wholeheartedly serve the people and the Fatherland; no matter how big or small the task is, it is all for that purpose; that is Marxism-Leninism.”
