  Communist party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Communist Party of the United States was considered within the political mainstream during the 1930s and 1940s, but the advent of the Cold War got it declared illegal for a time and led to McCarthyism, a vigorous anti-Communist political repression movement in America during the 1950s which effectively destroyed the American Communist Party's influence.
Members of communist parties were persecuted in many countries in the early Cold War period, when anticommunist sentiment was fueled by Western governments as part of their Cold War strategy.
The doctrine of ruling communist parties was typically that all property would belong to the state as the transition to a communist society (see socialism and state capitalism), and that the state would highly regulate all commerce in the country in the meantime.

 70th anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam
The Communist Party of Vietnam strongly rejects all forms of "political hegemonism" and believes "the world community should be a democratic community," Party General Secretary Leâ Khaû Phieâu said here on Wednesday.
The Party leader called for a new world order where democracy reigned supreme, in which all nations, regardless of their size and economic status, were respected on an equal footing; where no inferior or superior status affected international relations.
Whereas the outgoing 20th century was the period of Vietnam’s glorious struggle against imperialists and of resounding victories, the coming 21st century would be that of firm defense and building of Vietnam into a strong socialist country, Phieâu said.

 Battlefield:Vietnam | History
The Communist Party believed that it would prevail in a protracted war because the United States had no clearly defined objectives, and therefore, the country would eventually tire of the war and demand a negotiated settlement.
While some naive and simple-minded critics have claimed that the Communist Party, and Vietnamese in general, did not have the same regard for life and therefore were willing to sustain more losses in a protracted war, the Party understood that it had an ideological commitment to victory from large segments of the Vietnamese population.
The Communist Party correctly believed that the American people were growing war-weary and that its continued successes in the countryside had tipped the balance of forces in its favor.

Hanoi, Dec 9, 1998 (AFP) - A senior Vietnamese communist cadre has denounced the absence of democracy and concentration of power in the hands of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) in a text obtained on Wednesday.
Do's communique is the latest in a series of initiatives by the 76-year-old former general who provoked serious soul searching in the inner sanctum of the communist party after calling for democratization and a political debate one year ago.
Earlier this year Do said he was the target of an official press campaign to discredit him, accusing him of disloyalty to the party, which prompted an examination of his claims by the party central committee at a plenum in July.

Communist Vietnamese honor John Kerry, the war protestor, as a hero in their victory over the United States in the Vietnam War.
The Vietnamese communists clearly feel that the American anti-war protestors were a very important force in undermining support in the United States for American war efforts, a force that contributed materially to ultimate communist victory in 1975.
Vietnam Vets for the Truth (KerryLied.com) was established for the sole purpose of organizing a rally targeting Kerry's lies before the US Senate in 1971 based on the so-called "Winter Soldier" hearings.

 Statement of Overseas Vietnamese Intellectuals on the Arrest of Dr. Nguyen Thanh Giang
On March 4, 1999, the communist authorities in Vietnam arrested Dr. Nguyen Thanh Giang on the street in Hanoi in a brutal and uncivilized manner: maintaining a silence on the cause of the arrest, keeping his whereabouts a secret, and not going through any basic legal due procedure.
Despite all that, the communist authorities have brutally and conspicuously arrested him, disregarding the very fundamentals of a civil and civilized society.
That wave of repression is meant to reinforce the totalitarian rule of the Communist Party and to protect the privileges of a small group of incompetent, corrupt, and exploitative leaders, causing Vietnam to slide further and further into a quagmire of backwardness.

The CPV continued to cheat in the days and months right after its April 30, 1975 victory with its order to officers, officials, civil and military personnel as well as cadres of the Republic of Vietnam to bring enough stuff for 30-day use in its re-education program.
The cheating tradition continued in the case of the communist violations of the Paris Peace Accord of 1973 through Hanoi's invasion of South Vietnam which ended with the communist occupation of South Vietnam in April 1975.
The people of Vietnam consider the CPV and its leaders the criminals of the nation and will bring them to the court once the people rise up to terminate the totalitarian dictatorship.
