Building the Party on ethics: Must eliminate individualism

Building the Party in terms of ethics and culture in the current situation is the key and core to making the Party clean, strong, equal to its tasks, worthy of being the leading and ruling Party.

The 12th National Party Congress identified Party building as a particularly important task that needs to be further promoted, focusing on resolutely and persistently continuing to implement the Resolution of the 11th Central Committee, Session 4. The 12th National Party Congress has developed an important awareness of Party building when adding not only building a clean and strong Party in terms of politics, ideology, and organization, but also in terms of morality. Right in the title of the Political Report, the Congress also identified the first key task in the 6 key tasks of the entire term as "strengthening Party building and rectification". It focuses on the two most essential contents: preventing and repelling ideological, political, moral, and lifestyle degradation, manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party, and building a contingent of cadres, especially at the strategic level.

Party building on ethics: New thinking in Party building

Master Nguyen Thi Mai Anh, Communist Magazine, said that building the Party in terms of ethics is a new way of thinking in Party building in general. Putting the issue of ethics building directly in Party building shows our Party's determination to fight against a phenomenon that has become quite common, considered "to be a challenge to the Party's leadership role and the survival of the regime. "Therefore, the 12th Congress adding building the Party in terms of ethics to the goal of Party building is completely correct, not only meeting the requirements of Party building, but also stemming from the practical situation, from the determination to solve an urgent problem, meeting the aspirations of cadres, Party members and the masses".

In particular, the 4th Central Conference of the 11th tenure issued a historic Resolution “on a number of urgent issues in Party building today”. According to Professor Hoang Chi Bao, this is a Resolution of great significance, having a great influence on the Party and the people. “A historic Resolution, with the courage to criticize, self-criticize, and apply Ho Chi Minh's thought of "building the Party based on the people", has met the long-standing expectations of the majority of Party members and the masses. A timely, well-timed resolution, very popular with the people, because of the highest responsibility to the nation and the people, the Party renews itself, placing the task of Party building in a key position. Professor Hoang Chi Bao, Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, emphasized that Party building is a major issue, which has always been of concern to our Party throughout the historical process of the Party's revolutionary struggle. During the period of renovation, Party building has received more and more attention from the entire people. The Resolutions of the Congress and the Resolutions of the Central Conferences in each term have almost no Resolution that does not mention the contents of Party building, either directly or indirectly.

Professor Hoang Chi Bao said that the 12th Congress, for the first time, has fully and comprehensively recognized Party building, expanded the content of Party building in all fields, all aspects, all relationships, and thus raised the issue of ethics and culture in the Party. “Building the Party in terms of ethics and culture in the current situation is the key, the core to make the Party clean, strong, equal to its tasks, worthy of being the leading and ruling Party. To build the Party in terms of ethics - revolutionary ethics of thrift, integrity, impartiality and selflessness as President Ho Chi Minh mentioned, it is necessary to shift from ethical awareness to ethical action, not only with the voluntary efforts and responsibility of each individual but also to promote the role and responsibility of the organization, of the leaders, especially promoting the role of the people in Party building”.

Always be vigilant and fight against individualism

According to Dr. Nguyen Dinh Hoa, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, we are facing many great challenges. These include the risk of falling further behind economically compared to other countries in the region and the world, corruption and bureaucracy, the strategy of "peaceful evolution" caused by hostile forces, etc. In such a context, more than ever, the purity and strength of the Party as the sole leading and ruling Party in Vietnam is especially important. Because such purity and strength are not only associated with preserving, maintaining and promoting the achievements in the history of the revolutionary struggle of the Vietnamese people in general, and of the Communist Party of Vietnam in particular, but also directly decide the fate of the country as well as the Party in the present and the future.

Party building on ethics: New thinking in Party building

To strengthen the Party's ethics, according to Master Nguyen Thi Mai Anh, it is necessary to resolutely fight against corruption, strictly handle cadres and Party members who violate the law, and clean up the Party and State apparatus. Accordingly, Party committees and organizations at all levels must regularly and vigorously promote formal expressions in the work of educating Party members and cadres in ethics and lifestyle. Along with that, building a contingent of cadres and Party members with ethical qualities, especially leaders must be exemplary. Among the many things that "need to be done immediately" to build an increasingly clean and strong Party, it is necessary to focus on some basic contents. Among them, it is necessary to attach importance to revolutionary ethics and the fight against individualism. "The attitude of taking lightly the cultivation and training of revolutionary ethics, not seriously implementing criticism and self-criticism... causes many cadres and Party members to fall before the temptations of everyday life". The failure to win, the inability to overcome the small "ego" to become slaves to personal desires in a part of cadres and party members is both the deep root and the support leading to evils such as corruption, bribery, abuse of power, disunity... Individualism is one of the hidden and constant dangers because it lurks within each person.

According to Master Nguyen Thi Mai Anh, “in the current situation, key cadres must set an example in practicing ethics, encouraging the entire Party and the entire population to follow Uncle Ho’s example. At the same time, resolutely fight against signs of political, ideological, moral and lifestyle degradation, and signs of “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” within the Party.”

Dr. Nguyen Dinh Hoa said that, along with synchronously implementing many other measures, the Party needs to pay attention to promoting inspection work, implementing criticism and self-criticism to push back individualism in Party organizations and in the State apparatus. Educate cadres and party members on revolutionary ethics so that they can truly become loyal servants and servants of the people. “Only with a pure and healthy mind can each cadre and party member truly have the right motivation, feelings and revolutionary ethics, and always think and act for the benefit of the people and the country. If everyone is always vigilant and fights against individualism, which is manifested and concealed in many sophisticated forms, it means that they are truly conscious of reaching out to the common good, for the collective and the community. Practical experience shows that the Party becomes strong, has high intellectual capacity and fighting spirit because its team consists of people who are both red and professional”./.
