Building the courage to fight, eliminating bad and toxic thoughts

Hostile forces at home and abroad are colluding to thoroughly exploit cyberspace, especially media such as Facebook, YouTube, Zalo, electronic websites, foreign free radio stations... to post many articles, information, images, and videos that are misleading about the situation in Vietnam. Their consistent plot is to propagate and deny Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought; distort and deny the Party's viewpoints, policies and guidelines, and the State's legal policies; deny the historical value and achievements of the revolution; distort and falsify political events. They take advantage of complicated and sensitive cases to depose idols, defame and slander Party and State leaders... to attack the Party's ideological foundation, in an attempt to erase the Party's leadership role in our country's revolution.

This is one of the risks and challenges that our Party has identified and proposed many policies and measures to prevent and repel. Especially in the current situation, in addition to the measures of "fighting" and direct struggle, we need to pay great attention to "building", first of all, building the people's hearts. Because the goal of the reactionary hostile forces is to use tricks of information, images, and bad and toxic cultural products to influence the thoughts and feelings of ignorant Party members and people, opportunists, degenerates, and discontented elements among the cadres, Party members, and people of all walks of life to incite and entice people to oppose and deny Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, the historical values ​​of the achievements of the Vietnamese revolution, the path of innovation and national construction, and the path to building Socialism and Communism in our country.

Reality shows that the weaknesses in ideological and political awareness of a number of cadres, party members and people are a "good environment", "fertile ground" for the seeds of bad and toxic ideologies to grow, flourish and arise. These are also factors causing instability, creating hot spots of insecurity, disorder and social safety in recent times in the whole country in general and Nghe An in particular. Therefore, in order to effectively prevent and combat the plots and tricks of hostile reactionary forces attacking the Party's ideological foundation, we must quickly eliminate that fertile ground, establishing an environment with a strong "immune" system. To do so, in my opinion, we need to do well the following measures:

The first, regularly have plans to educate and foster revolutionary ideals, Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought to help all classes of people, especially the youth - the future owners of the country, to absorb the scientific, revolutionary nature, good and correct values ​​of Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought. Thereby, it not only contributes to strengthening political viewpoints and stances, but also helps cadres, party members and people to be equipped with scientific methodology, logical thinking, and to perceive and evaluate phenomena in a dialectical and correct way, avoiding political ideological wavering due to the impact of wrong viewpoints of hostile and reactionary forces. Whenever trust in the Party and State is firmly consolidated, the distorted, fabricated and distorted information... of hostile reactionaries will be identified, exposed and refuted effectively, contributing to better protecting the Party's ideological foundation. To make training and education effective, it is necessary to research, classify, and innovate training and education methods suitable for each group of subjects, avoiding mechanical, formal, rigid, boring, and uninspired learning.

Monday, must do a good job of conveying to cadres, party members and people the Party's policies and the State's laws; achievements, difficulties and complexities, and the path to building socialism in our country. This will help cadres, party members and people understand the historical value of revolutionary achievements as well as the policies and guidelines on socio-economic development and the Party's domestic and foreign policies. Thereby, strengthening "resistance" to erroneous and reactionary ideological views that undermine the Party's ideological foundation.

Tuesday,must regularly provide information on the sophisticated, insidious, and cunning plots and tricks of reactionary and hostile forces that are frantically trying to sabotage the ideological foundation, focusing on plots and tricks against Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought; plots and tricks against the country's renovation and construction, especially plots to take advantage of freedom, democracy, human rights, and civil society; plots of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation", in which it is necessary to clarify "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among cadres and party members. At the same time, there are policies and measures to fight so that cadres, party members, and the people can grasp, be vigilant, and actively prevent.

Wednesday, regularly grasp, detect and promptly prevent wrong and distorted political thoughts and perceptions among cadres, party members and people. This is an extremely important issue, because wrong and vague perceptions of political thoughts, wavering in stance and ideology, conservatism, narrow-mindedness, jealousy... will be opportunities for hostile reactionary forces to take advantage of, and use as a trigger to attack the Party's ideological foundation. Therefore, as the political nucleus, the Party organization must strengthen its grasp of the ideological developments of cadres, party members and people in order to have measures to propagate, educate, correct and promptly repel wrong and distorted ideological views within the Party, State and people, contributing to firmly protecting the ideological foundation of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
