The inheritance of Marx's ideology in the left-wing movement.

This was the theme of a seminar held on June 28, 2010, jointly organized by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. The seminar revolved around the following main topics: The historical development of Marxist theory; Marx's ideology in relation to the Leftist movement; and the inheritance of Marx's ideology in the current Leftist movement. The three main presentations at the seminar were: - "Western Perspectives on Marx and Asia" by scholar David Pickus (Barrett Honors University, USA). - "The Path to Socialism in Vietnam" by Professor Hoang Chi Bao (Central Theoretical Council). In this report, the author analyzed and pointed out the limitations and lessons that Vietnam has learned in the process of building socialism from the middle of the last century to the present. The author also emphasizes the role of civil society organizations in establishing a truly democratic society, a prerequisite for the successful construction of socialism in Vietnam. — “President Ho Chi Minh’s Thought on Human Liberation” by Professor Dr. Dang Canh Khanh (former Director of the Institute for Youth Research). The author analyzes President Ho Chi Minh’s fundamental views on human development and construction—views that he summarized into the basic goals of the Vietnamese revolution: national liberation, class liberation, and human liberation. The report affirms that President Ho Chi Minh used the concept of human liberation to provide a general direction for the entire human development strategy, and these directions remain valid to this day, serving as a compass for human development strategies in the new era. The three reports sparked lively and frank debates at the seminar on the orientation of building a socialist model for Vietnam and solutions to turn those goals into reality.
