What are the strategic objectives of the Vietnamese revolution under the First Platform of the Communist Party of Vietnam?

In February 1930, the first Platform of the Communist Party of Vietnam was drafted by the leader Nguyen Ai Quoc and discussed and approved by the CPV founding conference.

The first Platform of the Communist Party of Vietnam determined the strategic objectives of the Vietnamese revolution as conducting a bourgeois-democratic revolution and a land revolution to advance towards a communist society.

The fundamental content of the first Platform of the Communist Party of Vietnam is as follows:

- Regarding the goals and paths of the revolution

It clearly defined the path to liberation and development for Vietnam: "advocating a bourgeois democratic revolution and land revolution to advance to a communist society." The brief outline of the Communist Party of Vietnam affirmed the nature and content of the colonial revolution as a national liberation revolution but within the scope of a proletarian revolution, essentially making a national democratic revolution for the people to advance to socialism.

- Regarding the tasks of the Vietnamese revolution

It identified the tasks of the “bourgeois-democratic revolution and land revolution,” which is a national democratic revolution for the people, comprising two tasks: "anti-imperialism, anti-feudalism"; in which, the foremost task is to fight against the imperialists and their puppets, to gain national independence and, on that basis, implement the people's freedoms and democracy, redistribution of land to poor peasants, and development of the country’s economy.

- Regarding the revolutionary forces

The revolutionary forces were determined to include the entire nation, wherein the worker-peasant class alliance is pivotal, while promoting the unity of all classes and progressive, patriotic forces to focus against the imperialists and their lackeys, only overthrowing those forces and parties that counter the revolution and betray the legitimate interests of the nation.

- Regarding the method of conducting the National Liberation Revolution

The concise strategy of the Communist Party of Vietnam confirmed that the struggle for national liberation must be carried out through revolutionary violence, using the people's violence to "overthrow" French colonialism, those who have "openly shown counter-revolution”; “thrust out” the landlords and feudalists. The Communist Party of Vietnam advocated using tactics of "attracting," especially the petty bourgeoisie, intellectuals, and middle farmers to the proletariat side, but without resorting to "compromise."

- Regarding international solidarity

The Vietnamese revolution was affirmed as a part of the world revolution, maintaining close contact and demonstrating responsibility towards the world revolution and the struggle against national oppression: "while propagating the motto of an independent Annam, simultaneously propagating and establishing contact with oppressed nations and the global proletariat class."

- Regarding the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam

Affirming the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam in the Vietnamese revolution: "The Communist Party of Vietnam is the vanguard of the proletariat class; it must win over the majority of its class and lead the masses." The brief outline and concise strategy of the Communist Party of Vietnam more clearly and specifically demonstrate the leadership role of the Communist Party of Vietnam: “The Vietnamese Communist Party of Vietnam is organized to lead the oppressed masses to class struggle to eliminate imperial capitalism and realize a communist society.”
