Communist Party of Vietnam: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

CPV was founded in 1930; since 1954, it has been the ruling party of North Vietnam and then the Socialist Republic after seizing power in South Vietnam in 1975 following the end of the [[Vietnam War]]. It controls the Vietnam People's Armed Forces.

They are arguably one of the most influential Communist political parties in history, as they played a large role in shaping the politics of the Indochina region for many years (and continue to do so to present day.)

==Background==

The CPV is organized on the basis of democratic centralism, a principle conceived by Russian Marxist revolutionary [[Vladimir Lenin]]. The highest institution of CPV is the party's National Congress which elects the Central Committee. In between party congresses, the Central Committee is the supreme organ on party affairs. After a party congress, the Central Committee elects the Politburo and Secretariat and it appoints the First Secretary, the highest party office.
