774 Words4 Pages

Marxism–Leninism contributes greatly to one of modern day’s philosophy, which is communism. In fact, many countries apply political ideology and succeed such as Cuba, Laos, China, North Korea, Vietnam. In Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh created a new ideology called “Thoughts of Ho Chi Minh”. Even today, they are still playing an important role for economic, politic. But considered yourself as a doctor, engineer, manager,… you don’t want to take this course because there are many reasons. That’s why Marxism–Leninism, Thoughts of Ho Chi Minh shouldn’t be a major course or it should be at least a selective course.

First of all, because this is a course that requires a lot of understanding the concepts, which will lead you lack of focus for your major. …show more content…

I agree with this statement, however this course just all about the communism, you don’t know anything else, therefore it makes many people who believe only in the communist’ point of view. For example during the 19th and 20th century many innocent people have died because their leader applied this to reform their country: the Land reform in North Vietnam from 1953 to 1956, according to. “The Blood-Red Hands of Ho Chi Minh.” Reader’s Digest by Rubbell, John G in November 1968, in page 61 states that : “Between 50,000 and 100,000 are believed to have died in these blood-baths”. Until now they still consider this just a mistake, but no one knows how many innocent people have died during the reformation.. So how can students improve their point of view ? In addition since there is only a few countries that follow “Marxism–Leninism” such as Laos, Vietnam, China, North Korea, Cuba, how can you understand the world’s intelligent if you are the 5/193 countries,. According to VOA about 15 countries followed “Marxism-Leninism” in the past, but after 1991 they collapsed just because their citizens didn’t support this ideology.

”The great difference between our western Christian world and the atheistic Communist world is not political, gentlemen, it is moral. For instance, the Marxian idea of confiscating the land and factories and running the entire economy as a single enterprise is momentous. Likewise, Lenin’s invention of the one-party police state as a way to make Marx’s idea work is hardly less

The impact of Lenin’s victory over a capitalist monarchy defines an important change in the way Sino-Vietnamese relations would occur, since the focus on nationalism would slowly convert to communism as the dominant ideology to resist western capitalism. The rise of the communist resistance Ho Chi Minh in the early 20th century defines the overarching influence of Chinese/Soviet communist policies, which he followed by building a military force on the northern border of China and Vietnam in the 1920s: “By late 1924, Nguyen Ai Quoc (Ho Chi Minh) was in southern China, building a new revolutionary organization meant to operate inside Indochina. These efforts culminated in 1930 with the establishment of the Vietnamese Communist Party” (Ward 45). In this historical perspective, it is imperative to understand the impact that the Soviet Union had on Chinese Communism, which had been steadily growing as a counter-ideology to the capitalist nationalism of Sun Yat-sen.

Andre Abi Haidar PSPA 210 INTRODUCTION It is always difficult to write about and discuss Karl Marx, or more importantly the applications of Marx’s theories, due to the fact that he inspired and gave rise to many movements and revolutionaries, not all of which follow his theories to the point. Although Marx tends to be equated with Communism, it might not seem righteous to blame him for whatever shortcomings occurred when his theories were put to the test; Marx passed away well before the revolution in Russia, and he played no role in the emergence of the totalitarian regime at the time. When discussing Marx, however, Vladimir Lenin is one of the biggest highlights when it comes to studying the outcomes of Marx’s theories.

However, soon after Marx and Engel’s other writings on socialism became published it grew in popularity, and was considered a standard text of the time (Brians, 2006). With Marx’s radical ideas, and Engels’ thorough writing, they were able to convey how they were individual of the other socialists of the time and elaborate on their idea socialism and how it would inevitably be achieved.

Karl Marx (1818-1883) considered himself not to be a sociologist but a political activist. However, many would disagree and in the view of Hughes (1986), he was ‘both – and a philosopher, historian, economist, and a political scientist as well.’ Much of the work of Marx was political and economic but his main focus was on class conflict and how this led to the rise of capitalism. While nowadays, when people hear the word “communism”, they think of the dictatorial rule of Stalin and the horrific stories of life in a communist state such as the Soviet Union, it is important not to accuse Marx of the deeds carried out in his name.
