US Embassy – Saigon – April 1975
Socialist Republic of Vietnam
The history of Vietnam in the 20th century encompassed a great deal that was positive in the International Communist Movement – and then, unfortunately, something that was negative and destructive to that very same movement.
The Vietnamese people, under the leadership of a Marxist-Leninist Party defeated first Japanese, second French and then ultimately US imperialism – on the battlefield. At a time when many liberation movements were struggling against their colonial and imperialist ‘masters’ the Vietnamese struggle (and successes) were an inspiration.
However, in just a little over ten years after the glorious victory over the US invaders the Party had degenerated and introduced ‘Doi moi’ (regeneration/renewal) which even preceded the equally destructive (to Socialism) perestroika and glasnost in the Soviet Union. The latter only formalised the restoration of capitalism in the USSR – which had been in process since the mid-1950s – whilst the former shamelessly reversed the processes for which many had fought, and died.
On this page we present material the majority of which was produced when Vietnam was marching along the road of Socialism but also material which refers to the process of disintegration of the country into yet another client state of capitalism and imperialism.
The documents presented here are in the English language. If readers would like to see some of these (and other) documents in the Vietnamese language we can only but direct you to the Vietnam Page on bannedthought.net. (On the bannedthought site you will also be able to find a vast amount of material from many parts of the world, augmenting and supplementing what can be found on other pages on Left side of the road.)

The documents below were distributed by the Vietnamese Embassy in London. Some of the articles were also published in other publications produced by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam but some may not have appeared elsewhere. They are particularly relevant to the conflict which the (then) Socialist Vietnam had with the (already) revisionist and ‘capitalist roader’ People’s Republic of China. Also often in these pages is the situation in Kampuchea (Cambodia) and the turmoil in that part of the world.
