Hồ Chí Minh was a communist political leader, and president of Vietnam, from 1945 to 1969. Under the political label of communism, he founded the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, when he declared his country’s independence from France. During this time, Vietnam was a divided country, split into North and South, before unification under the communist regime in 1975.
Like all communist states, totalitarianism was a common feature in the country’s political system, and a cult of personality developed around Hồ Chí Minh, aimed to maintain the population under mind control, and to create an almost sacramental image of the supreme political leader to the general public.
The current Vietnamese political agenda is very diligent in suppressing everything concerning Hồ Chí Minh’s romantic affairs with women. Exactly like the Nazi Party regarding Adolf Hitler, the Vietnamese communist party portrays Hồ Chí Minh as a chaste celibate, who had no time for personal matters, being inherently and completely committed to the nation, to the revolution, to the development of the country and the well-being of its people, unconditionally. He was portrayed as the ideal leader, a glorious and altruistic savior, destined to free his country from evil and misery. Unavoidably, a thoroughly mandatory adoration cult developed towards Hồ Chí Minh – a common feature in communist states –, and even his father is venerated throughout the country, having temples in his homage.

Although the West tended to see and to portray Hồ Chí Minh as a “moderate” communist, who was unlike his more “radical” political counterparts, like Mao or Stalin, this was merely a sordid fabrication from ingenious sympathizers. Hồ Chí Minh, like all communist leaders, saw no problem at all in murdering political opponents, to capture and kill their relatives, wage conflagrations for power purposes or to engage in belligerent conflicts to assure his control. Nonetheless, a myth was created, with the purpose to portray Hồ Chí Minh in a positive light. But there isn’t a single spark of truth in these affirmations whatsoever. Hồ Chí Minh was no different from all other communist leaders. His endless, ambitious and voracious thirst for power was unprecedented in his country’s history. And all the bloodshed generated by it was typical of communist regimes.
Unfortunately, his legacy was perpetrated in the Communist Party of Vietnam, that rules the country with a terrible and excruciating inflexibility, inherent to this political form of government. Forced to revere a mere human being, people living in communist countries are terribly dilacerated by their own government, that enslaves their people for the purpose of absolute control. And if we can attribute a legacy to Hồ Chí Minh, this is the only he truly deserves: his contribution for the enslavement of his own people, under his image. This is everything he has done for his people. An enforcement of a totalitarian governmental behavior, that has forbidden all legitimate forms of free expression, in favor of a dreadful slave mentality, where people live in constant fear, for the sake of maintaining their own lives.
