INTRODUCTION The necessity of the thesis During his lifetime, Ho Chi Minh paid a lot of attention to ethnic minorities People who claim Kinh or Tho, Muong or Man, Gia Rai or Ede, Xe Dang or Ba Na, people and other ethnic minorities, all of whom are Vietnamese descendants, are all brothers and sisters Therefore, it is necessary to unite, love, and help each other He emphasized that ethnic people are very honest and very kind If they say it right, the compatriots will listen, and the compatriots will and it People who have directly done the work of advocacy and propaganda, encouraging ethnic minorities to join the revolutionary movement and conduct the national liberation struggle; training cadres from the elite children of ethnic minorities into “red seeds” and contributing to the development of the revolutionary movement In particular, Ho Chi Minh always raised the issue of how to improve material life and spirit for the people of ethnic minorities, making the mountainous areas catch up with the lowlands He pointed out that the responsibility of ministries and branches at the central level for the mountainous people is that the people can't live in such misery forever The branches must focus on conducting work in mountainous areas Ho Chi Minh's ideology on mass mobilization in general and ethnic minority mobilization, in particular, is not only valuable in the struggle for national liberation but also has sustainable and long-term value for the development of the country Therefore, continuing to research, study, and apply Ho Chi Minh's ideology on mass mobilization in the current period, especially in areas with a large number of ethnic minorities-where hostile forces are trying to take advantage of issues of ethnicity, religion, human rights to destabilize - is an important and urgent job that sets a task for the party committee and the government and political systems at all levels and localities must focus on solving Dak Lak is a province located in the center of the South Central Plateau and has an important strategic position in terms of politics and security - defense not only for the Central Highlands but also for the whole country Dak Lak is also a locality with typical characteristics of the Central Highlands region (including Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong, and Lam Dong) In the past, the ethnic groups here united and fought bravely, contributing to a glorious victory for the revolutionary cause of liberation and reunification The current, in Dak Lak province, there are 49 ethnic groups living together, including Kinh people, local ethnic minorities, and newly migrated northern ethnic minorities Recently, with all the efforts of all levels of Party committees, authorities, and people from all walks of life, Dak Lak's economy has seen strong development and positive changes However, Dak Lak's economy has not yet created sustainable development due to low labor productivity, the diversified development of economic sectors has not been fully exploited, and a part of the people still have a mentality of dependence, looking forward to the support of the State The administrative boundary of Dak Lak province is wide, the area is quite rugged, the climate is harsh, and the population density is unevenly distributed The educational level of most ethnic minorities is still low Poverty reduction is not sustainable, the number of near-poor households is large, and the poverty rate is high compared to the national average, most of which are ethnic minorities Enemy forces and political opposition forces continue to take advantage of the issue of “ethnicity, religion, democracy, human rights” to incite, oppose fiercely, and find all ways to divide the great national unity bloc Propaganda, explanation, and mobilization of ethnic minorities are still sometimes not effective for many objective and subjective reasons therefore, the reactionary and untruthful distortions of the hostile forces still have certain effects This is one of the reasons leading to the situation that some people, especially ethnic minorities, are being manipulated by luring illegal border crossings and participating in activities that cause disturbances and destabilize politics The explosion of social networks creates challenges for the mobilization of ethnic minorities Mobilizing ethnic minorities to continue promoting their patriotic and solidarity traditions, and striving to join the development of the whole nation is an important task for all levels of Party committees, authorities, and people the whole political system Therefore, creatively applying Ho Chi Minh's ideology on mass mobilization will contribute to improving the effectiveness of the mobilization of ethnic minorities,

WORK OF MOBILIZING ETHNIC MINORITIES - SOME THEORETICAL ISSUES 2.1 SOME BASIC CONCEPTS 2.1.1 The concept of mass mobilization work, ethnic minorities Mass mobilization or people mobilization work is the work of the Party, State, and mass organizations; means propagating, mobilizing, educating, persuading, coordinating with the people, gathering, and mobilizing the people to carry out revolutionary tasks for the common interests of the nation Propaganda is the act of disseminating ideology and strategies and tactics among the masses, building for the masses a worldview that is consistent with the interests of the ideological subject, forming and consolidating beliefs, and rallying and encouraging the masses to act according to that worldview, and belief The concept of “Ethnic minorities”: Ethnic minorities are ethnic groups with a smaller population than the majority in the territory of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Our country has 54 ethnic groups in the Vietnamese community of ethnic groups, of which, Kinh is the majority ethnic group, and the remaining 53 other ethnic groups with a smaller population are called “ethnic minorities” Therefore, in the area of Dak Lak province that the author of the thesis researches, “Ethnic minorities” mean ethnic groups other than Kinh, although in some commune-level administrative units, in terms of numbers, the Kinh are a minority 2.1.2 The concept of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the work of mass mobilization, mobilizing ethnic minorities Ho Chi Minh's ideology on mass mobilization is Ho Chi Minh's system of views on the role, content, and method of mobilizing the masses to implement the Party's guidelines and guidelines, the State's policies and laws, and strengthen the great national unity bloc and strengthen the relationship between the Party and the people, greatly contributing to the victory of the revolutionary cause of national liberation and building socialism in Vietnam Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the mobilization of ethnic minorities is a system of views on the role, contents, and methods of propagating, mobilizing, and gathering ethnic minorities to implement the Party's guidelines and policies, policies and laws of the State, strengthen the great national unity bloc, and strengthen the relationship between the Party and the people, of great value, contributing to the victory of the Vietnamese revolution 2.2 HO CHI MINH’S IDEOLOGY ON MASS MOBILIZATION 2.2.1 The role and purpose of mass mobilization work 2.2.1.1 Mass mobilization plays an important role in gathering revolutionary forces, building a great national unity block Ho Chi Minh believes that solidarity is strength, the key to success The revolutionary force of Vietnam is the great unity of the whole nation To build solidarity, it is necessary to a good job of mobilizing the masses Revolution is the cause of the masses, but the masses only have their strength when they are enlightened, gathered, and united under the correct leadership of the Communist Party The work of mobilizing the masses must first make the people enlightened and agree to support It is necessary to make the people understand why the revolution must be made, and why the revolution is the common work of the whole people, not the work of one or two people 2.2.1.2 Mass mobilization greatly influenced the success of the revolution According to Ho Chi Minh, the support of the masses determines the success of the revolution When people help us a lot, they will succeed a lot, help us a little, they will succeed little, and if they help us completely, they will achieve complete victory Therefore, the Party needs to gather a huge force of people from all walks of life and must a good job of mobilizing the masses 2.2.1.3 Mass mobilization to strengthen the close relationship between the people and the Party and State The Communist Party of Vietnam was born as a product of the combination of Marxism-Leninism with the workers' movement and the patriotic movement Therefore, the Party has the nature of the working class, and at the same time, this nature is united with the people and the nation Therefore, the Party belongs to the working class, the working people, and the entire Vietnamese nation The Party comes from the people, the people are the source of the Party's strength The Party must rely on the people and must not be separated from the people because if it is far from the people, it will fail On the contrary, when the people are attached to the Party, the discrete strength of each individual will be transformed into the great strength of the great national unity bloc under the leadership of the Party To create a close relationship between the Party and the people, the Party needs to strengthen the work of mass mobilization 2.2.2 Contents of mass mobilization work 2.2.2.1 Propaganda and advocacy on the rights and obligations of the masses Ho Chi Minh said that the revolution must first make the people enlightened because if the masses are not enlightened and automatic, they cannot it, and it will fail because they won't be enthusiastic But if they are propagated, explained, enlightened, and lead to do, the work will have good results According to Ho Chi Minh, everyone must realize that they are the owner of the country and have the right to be the owner, then they must fulfill the obligations of the owner Therefore, disseminating and explaining to the people their rights and duties is the most basic requirement of mass mobilization 2.2.2.2 In the work of mobilizing the masses, it is necessary to practice democracy widely and listen to the opinions of the people According to Ho Chi Minh, for the guidelines and policies of the Party and State to be implemented, it is necessary to bring to the people to discuss and listen to the opinions of the people Because people know how to solve many problems in a simple, quick, and complete way, but talented people, and big organizations, can't think of it forever Discussing, and asking for the opinions and experiences of the masses is also for the people to exercise their mastery Only by discussing with the people will the people's wisdom be gathered into the formulation of the Party's guidelines, policies, and laws Only the state and the people can implement guidelines, policies and laws, and bring guidelines, policies and life laws 2.2.2.3 Organizing the implementation of economic and cultural activities to improve the material and spiritual life of the people According to Ho Chi Minh, the people only understand the value of independence and freedom when the people are well-fed and clothed Therefore, it is necessary to organize the implementation of economic activities to improve the material and spiritual life of the people According to him, the task of the Party and the Government is to give people food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, and medical examination and treatment The person who has guided the masses on the organization of building all aspects of new social life, from politics to economy, culture and society 2.2.2.4 Respect the people, learn from the people, honest self-criticism and criticism before the people Ho Chi Minh said that it is extremely important to examine, learn from experience, and honestly self-criticize and criticize before the people and necessary People check cadres, cadres check people, people, and officials jointly check all activities and working styles so that it is democratic, superiors must regularly check subordinates, and subordinates must criticize their superiors, especially from the 11 economic levels The Party and State need to make the mountains catch up with the lowlands, and the ethnic minorities to catch up with the majority Mutual assistance between ethnic groups is not only a requirement but also an objective necessity in the cause of national construction and defense Without mutual assistance, the goals of socio-economic development and the shortening of the gap between regions and ethnic groups will be extremely difficult 2.3.3 Methods of mobilizing ethnic minorities 2.3.3.1 Propaganda method According to Ho Chi Minh, propaganda is bringing something to the people to understand, people to remember, people to follow, the people to To achieve that goal, propagandists must have a suitable method Ho Chi Minh City mainly used the following three methods of propaganda: Oral propaganda; use visual aids; using technical means as an intermediary The outstanding feature of Ho Chi Minh's propaganda method is its authenticity, using many examples of real people and specific facts; concise, simple, easy to understand, and very flexible use of idioms and proverbs He especially emphasized that the propaganda must be said and done practically, suitable to the awareness level of the compatriots According to Ho Chi Minh, there is no need to say the great ocean, just say it briefly, simply, talk about practical issues, definitely doable, so everyone understands and is determined to it 2.3.3.2 Example method In Ho Chi Minh's ideology, the method of setting an example is one of the most effective methods of mobilizing the masses because following him the people of the Eastern a vital example is worth more than a hundred propaganda speeches A survey in the Ho Chi Minh Complete Collection showed that he mentioned the word “set an example” and “set an example” 240 times That shows that Ho Chi Minh attaches great importance to “setting an example”, and “being an example” of all organizations, revolutionary forces, and individuals, especially for cadres and party members Officials who want to carry out mass mobilization must have “thinking, seeing, listening, walking, talking and doing” 2.3.3.3 Methods of organizing patriotic emulation movements According to Ho Chi Minh, emulation is a practical and positive way of patriotism Organizing a patriotic emulation movement is the best way to arouse latent patriotism in every Vietnamese citizen, and turn it into a strength and a driving force for socio-economic development as well as in the defense of the Fatherland Ho Chi Minh also pointed out that competition is not something so different from daily routines Daily work is the foundation of competition The Party, Government, and mass organizations need to make plans, mobilize, urge, inspect, evaluate and summarize emulation movements The Party must lead the patriotic emulation movement Must be able to set out the name of the movement with action slogans, and sharp propaganda, close to the situation and aspirations and interests of the masses, by the requirements of promoting the implementation of revolutionary tasks 12 2.4 THE VALUES OF HO CHI MINH'S IDEOLOGY ON THE MOBILIZATION OF ETHNIC MINORITIES 2.4.1 Theoretical value 2.4.1.1 Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the mobilization of ethnic minorities

national liberation revolution build the independent State of Vietnam, and go up to build socialism 2.4.1.2 Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the work of mobilizing ethnic minorities is the basis for the Communist Party of Vietnam to build a policy of reforming the mobilization of ethnic minorities in the new situation Deeply aware of the great and sustainable value of Ho Chi Minh's ideology on mass mobilization and ethnic minority advocacy over the years, especially since entering the doi moi process, the Communist Party of Vietnam has issued many resolutions on guidelines, lines, and renovating

minorities, There is a mechanism to promote the positivity, self-reliance, and self-reliance of ethnic minorities for socio-economic development, and implement multi-dimensional and sustainable poverty reduction The motto “People know, people discuss, people do, people check” has been deepened by the Communist Party of Vietnam and raised to “People know, discuss, people do, people inspect, people supervise, beneficiaries” 2.4.2 Practical value 2.4.2.1 Ho Chi Minh's ideology on mobilizing ethnic minorities to pave the way for the victory of the national liberation revolution 13 Ho Chi Minh's ideology on mass mobilization and ethnic minority mobilization has not only great theoretical value but also practical value, contributing to the victories of the Vietnamese revolution both in

gathered, organized, and brought into play the strength of the entire nation, fought for and kept its independence, to build and develop a socialist Vietnam with a rich people, a strong country, a democratic, fair and civilized country 2.4.2.2 Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the mobilization of ethnic minorities is a solid basis for the country to have “Intelligence, potential, position, and international prestige” in the renovation period Since 1986, the Communist Party of Vietnam has led the country to enter the doi moi process After more than 35 years of renovation and 31 years of implementing the Platform for national construction in the transitional period to socialism, with the consensus and response of the entire people, Vietnam has developed strongly, and achieved great achievements, of historical significance Economic development; social and political stability; national defense and security are guaranteed; foreign affairs and international integration are

beautiful, and prosperous villages Agencies, units, and businesses support sister trade in hunger eradication, poverty alleviation, and economic development through concrete and practical jobs With the direct support and help from the twinning units, the material and spiritual life of the local ethnic minorities of the sister villages has improved significantly; the local political system is consolidated; people are excited and believe in the Party and State, not listen to and follow the words of bad guys inciting and instigating, actively participate in patriotic emulation movements, contributing to stabilizing political security, rural security, social order, and safety in the locality 3.2.1.6 Training and retraining of staff engaged in mass mobilization Currently, the total

professional qualifications, political theory, and working capacity Party committees at all levels have always focused on training, allocating, and employing ethnic minority cadres by their professional qualifications and training specialties The number of cadres who have undergone training and retraining, especially key cadres at the Party Committee levels at all levels, has increased every year 17 3.2.1.7 Cause of Achievement The mobilization of ethnic minorities in Dak Lak province has always received the attention and direction of the Central Committee for Mass Mobilization Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee with the efforts of all levels of Party Committees, Governments, Fronts and other socio-political organizations Awareness of the position, role and importance of the mobilization of ethnic minorities by the Party committees, authorities, mass organizations, officials and party members and all classes of people in the province has had a positive

policies of the Party and State Secondly, limits on the quality of cadres engaged in advocacy work for ethnic minorities Thirdly, limitations in twinning work between agencies and units and ethnic minority traders 3.2.2.2 Limitation Cause Firstly, some Party committees, authorities, Fronts, and mass organizations have not performed their roles well Secondly, the implementation of investment and development policies for ethnic minorities is still lacking in funding and slow disbursement progress Thirdly, ethnic minorities mainly live in areas with difficult traffic, are slow to change outdated customs and habits, and still have the mindset of expectation and dependence Fourthly, limitations in training and retraining work and the lack of role models for part of the staff at the grassroots 3.3 PROBLEMS POSED TO THE MOBILIZATION OF ETHNIC MINORITIES IN DAK LAK PROVINCE IN THE CURRENT 3.3.1.About the work of mobilizing economic development and poverty reduction Poverty reduction among ethnic minorities is still unsustainable The risk of falling back into poverty is high due to objective risks such as natural disasters, epidemics, price fluctuations, and negative impacts on the market economy, and epidemics Prices of some key agricultural products of Dak Lak province such as coffee, rubber, pepper In recent years, the price of fruit products has been unstable, leading to many households at risk of falling back into poverty Some localities have not yet identified their strong crops, livestock, and products Therefore, the selection of implementation projects is not suitable for the actual conditions of the locality and poor households 3.3.2 Conservation and promotion of traditional cultural values Some traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities are not maintained regularly, especially in costumes and writing There is a part of young ethnic minorities who cannot speak or write their language Due to the change in living space and lifestyle, traditional festivals, gong culture space, long house space, water wharf, shifting cultivation, and forest space of the people are also changing rapidly, and in danger of disappearing Along with the impact of the market mechanism, the appearance of some villages and villages still has the very little shadow of communal houses and unique cultural identities 18 3.3.3 About the campaign to improve the quality of education, eliminate illiteracy and develop community health, protect people's health The situation of children in ethnic minority areas of school-age dropping out of school has existed in recent years Early dropout is one of the causes leading to child marriage in ethnic minority areas, especially in remote and disadvantaged areas The quality of people's health care is still limited due to the lack of doctors and medical staff with high and deep professional qualifications, with an average of only 6.8 doctors per ten thousand people The shift of doctors from the public sector to the private sector has occurred in recent years The quality of medical examination and treatment services at lower levels is still limited, failing to meet the medical examination and treatment needs of the people 3.3.4 Regarding population management, land management, forest protection, living environment protection The situation of land management and use in Dak Lak province in recent years has potential problems that can easily lead to disputes The allocation of land and forests to agricultural and forestry farms for management and use and the large number of people migrating to Dak Lak have caused the state's land encroachment, collectively Several ethnic minority households in the area have not been promptly settled for residential and production land The purchase and sale of land and land disputes of individuals tend to be complicated This has led to the situation that a part of ethnic minorities in the area lack both residential and productive land, and are no longer able to make a living on their own 3.3.5 Regarding the work of mobilizing ethnic minorities against the plot of “peaceful evolution” of hostile forces For the Central Highlands region in general, and Dak Lak province in particular, religious and ethnic issues are closely linked and closely related The special feature of this area is that it has a large number of ethnic minorities and a high percentage of people following religions, especially Protestantism The hostile forces distort the guidelines and policies of the Party and the State of Vietnam; the situation of ethnicity, religion, democracy, and human rights in our country; slander the State of Vietnam to discriminate, and suppressing ethnic minorities thereby inciting riots and protests against the government, for secession, self-rule, and the establishment of an independent state 3.3.6 Regarding the training of staff to mobilize ethnic minorities from the local source, who are ethnic minorities The qualifications of some ethnic minority cadres and civil servants at the grassroots level are still low compared to the requirements Although they have been trained and fostered, there is still a part of the staff who not understand what to and lack creativity in implementing ethnic programs and policies in the locality Some cadres at the grassroots still lack exemplary in abiding by the Party's guidelines, policies, and laws The state should lead to effective propaganda and mobilization of ethnic minorities who have not achieved the set goals 19 Chapter SOME DIRECTIONS AND SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF

and policies, laws of the State, strengthening the great national unity bloc and strengthen the relationship between the Party and the people greatly contributed to the victory of the revolutionary cause of national liberation and socialism construction in Vietnam His views on mobilizing ethnic minorities have profound theoretical and practical value not only in the past but also in the present and future People, including ethnic minorities, are an important force contributing to the great victories of our country's revolution For ethnic minorities and mountainous areas, the border is the national fence, It was a revolutionary base, although it was also a place with difficulties in topography, climate, and production From the life process, revolutionary activities, propaganda, and mobilization of ethnic minorities, Ho Chi Minh always upheld the role and contribution of ethnic minorities to the overall success of the revolution He paid special attention to the propaganda and mobilization of ethnic minorities in the “family” of the Vietnamese nation; guided and organize ethnic minorities to increase production, practice thrift, develop the economy, improve material life and spirit; focus on training, foster ethnic minority cadres and develop appropriate policies prioritizing ethnic minority areas As a mountainous province located in the center of the Central Highlands region, bordering the Kingdom of Cambodia; there are 49 ethnic groups living together which ethnic minorities accounting for 35.7% of the population, Dak Lak province is an important

zone III still face many difficulties; propaganda and mobilization of people in some places and fields have not been effective; some compatriots were lured by hostile forces to participate in anti-government activities, illegally crossed borders, joined strange and evil religions These limitations have both objective reasons and subjective ones in which special attention should be paid to a part of ethnic minorities who have a mentality of dependence, looking forward to the help of the State, a part of cadres are not 24 interested in mass mobilization, and there is even a lack of examples in the implementation of policies and laws of the Party and State This fact requires that the work of mobilizing ethnic minorities in Dak Lak province in the current period requires necessary
