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.

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.
