INTERNATIONALISM 1. What is Internationalism? Internationalism means that people in the world, of any country, of any people, having the same goal, working together to achieve that goal. Just as imperialists communicate with each other, to supress the weak (France contacted Spain and Japan to take Annam, etc.), capitals communicate with each other to exploit workers (British, American, and French capitalists contacted German capitalists to oppress German workers). Therefore workers from different countries contacted each other to fight against capital (such as the Industrial Workers of the World). We must also contact all the revolutionary parties in the world to fight capitalism and imperialism (such as the Third International). 2. What is the Third International? If you want to know what the Third International is, you must first know the First and Second International. From the 18th century onwards, capital was very prosperous, oppressing workers very harshly. When workers are oppressed, in their rebellious character was to oppose such injustices, through organizing trade unions and staging violent strikes. But most provincial workers only knowing their own, and every national workers only knew of their own country, because of this their overall strength was not very significant. In 1840, German workers founded an association called The League of The Just. The slogan of that association is "All men are brothers". That slogan, though very good, is not true; Since the imperialists and counter-revolutionary capitalists are enemies of the people, how can they be called brothers? In 1847, the association was revised into the: "Communist League" - Mr. Marx and Engels joined that association. Thanks to the two men to correct the program, and the association's slogans to: overthrow of the bourgeoisie - establishment of the rule of the proletariat - the construction of a communist world. 3. Were these two associations the First and Second International? No. Although there were German and French workers in the two associations, they were few, and their strength was still weak, so they couldn't do anything. They were just an expression that workers from all over the world had to help each other and bridged towards the First International. In 1862 in the British Capital (London) opened the Great London Exposition; Capitalist countries sent workers over to examine the new industrial machines. The workers again met the Russian, German, French and other revolutionaries taking refuge there. The two sides discussed the establishment of a world revolutionary society. In 1864, (February 28) they established as the First International. 4. What had the First International done? Even though there were many leaders of workers from all over the country, this association, but because: 1. People were few, 2. The unions in the countries were still weak, 3. No consensus had been reached, so it only propagated communism but has not done any significant actions. The disagreement was due to the three opposing ideologies: 1. Proudhonism (France); 2. Bakuninism (Russia); 3. Marxism (Germany) (see the section on revolutionary ideology). After the failure of the Paris Commune, many members were killed or arrested, so the association gradually disintegrated, until 1874 it was disbanded. Although the First International has only stood for 10 years, the slogan "Working men of all countries, unite!" and the revolutionary spirit is still alive to this day. Although not able to do many things, but the merits of teaching the workers in the world of revolution was massive. 5. When was the Second International established? The First International has ended, just as capital had flourished, worker activism had also prospered. During those 15 years (from 1874 to 1889) in many countries, many new labor parties were established, and each party understood that the workers of different countries could not cease helping each other. In 1889, representatives of the labor parties met in Paris to form the Second International. From its inception, to the days of the European War, the congress was held nine times of discussions and decrees: 1. Every country must form a labor party; 2. Every year on May 1, the world's workers go on strike and petition; 3. All workers in the world strive to work only 8 hours a day; 4. Opposition to imperialism; 5. Labor parties must not negotiate with capital; 6. Party members are not allowed to work with capital; 7. If the imperialists have a war, the workers of all countries will go on strike and find a way to take over the government. The 7th issue was discussed in all 9 times the congress was held. 6. Why does the Second International often talk about war? Because at that time, capital had turned into imperialism. And imperialism, either often fought each other to gain colonies, or conquering weak countries as colonies. Like: In 1894, Japan fought against China; 1895, England fought against Egypt; 1896, France fought against Madagascar; 1898, America fought with Spain to take over the Philippines; 1900, Britain fought with South Africa; 1904, Russia against Japan; 1912, the Balkans fought, and so on. The workers saw this and knew that the imperialists of the world would come ahead to a Great War. So they tried to seek precautions. Unexpectedly, in 1914, when the countries fought, most of the members of the Second International helped imperialism, and the labor parties of every country advised the people to go to war. 7. When was the Third International established? Because the activists in the Second International were anti-revolutionary and turned out to be hunting hounds for capitalism and imperialism, it was revealed to be counter-revolutionary; Truly revolutionary people like Mr. Lenin, Mr. Karl Liebknecht, Rosa Luxemburg, etc., consider that International as good as dead and they must establish another International. In 1915 and 1916, the revolutionaries gathered in Switzerland about to establish the Third International, to follow the First International in spirit and stage revolutionary communism. In 1917, Russia successfully staged their communist revolution. In 1919, the Third International was established in the Russian capital, Moscow (on March 6th). In the opening of the first congress, there were communist party delegates from 24 countries attending the meeting. The Declaration of the Third International clearly states that: 1. By any means, the destruction of capitalism must not be reformist as the Second International; 2. By any means, the power must be in the hands of workers and peasants. 8. Since its founding (early 1927), how many times has the Third International been held? In 1920, the 2nd Congress was held, with 31 countries attending. The opportunistic leaders of the Second International saw that this association was strong and wanted to intervene to "jump on the bandwagon", so the Congress set out a very strict organization; Only anyone admitted under the 21 new rules can enter. (See the end of this section). In 1921, the 3rd Congress. From the time of the Third International, the workers of different countries divided into two factions, the communist faction (the Third International) and the reformist faction (the Second International). Therefore, the combine strength of both decreases; Therefore, the Congress decided that when struggling with capital, the two factions must work together and not be divided. In 1922, the 4th Congress. On the eve of the revolutionary movement cementing in many countries, capitalism was on the verge of death, they founded the Fascist Paries fiercely opposed to revolutions. The congress decides how to treat that party. In 1924, the 5th Congress, up to 61 countries attended. Because many people mistakenly believe that capital will return to its prosperity like before the European war. The Congress clearly testified that prosperity was false prosperity; In fact, capital in the world is close to an end, and the revolutionary workers and peasants must be ready to take action. 9. How is the Third International organized? a) Every year or every few years, the congress is held once. The Congress has the power to judge all the affairs of the parties in the countries. b) The Congress appoints a 24 - member Central Committe. This association represents the general assembly. Parties in all countries must follow the orders of the Central Committee. c) There is the Youth Ministry, to see about youth mobilization; Women's ministry, to see the women's advocacy; The Asian - Eastern ministry, to see about the revolution of the colonies in Asia and the East. Propaganda, organization, relief, etc., all have their own ministries. d) The Third International is a world Communist Party. The parties of all countries are like branches, all must follow the common plans and rules. All the parties cannot do without orders and plans from the Third International. 10. What are the similarities between the First International and the Third International? What is different? The First International is different from the Third International. a) The First International was small, The Third International was big; b) The First International only discussed theory, the Third International practiced; c) The First International was not unified, the Third International commanded all communist parties in all countries to follow; d) The First International only said: "Working men of all countries, unite!"; The Third International added, "Workers and oppressed peoples of all countries, unite!". The First International did not force its members to help the colonists in fightingf imperialism like the Third International. That is because the circumstances of the two Internationals are different. For instance the First International said little on national oppression, because at that time imperialism was not very developed. As well as, the Third International, being born later, has more experience than the First International. When it comes to revolutionary ideology, making the world egalitarian, the two Internationals are still the same. Only that the First International could not achieve those goals, but the Third International probably will, thanks to this revolutionary Russia has succeeded to serve as the foundation for the world revolution. 11. What is the difference between the Second International and the Third International? The previous Second International was still revolutionary, but because lacking strict disciplines, the organization was not effective, allowing the reformists to interfere too much; later turning them to counter-revolutionary. These two Internationals differ in the following: The Third International advocated the destruction of capital for a world revolution. The Second International advocated a concession with capital. The Third International helped the colonists fight imperialism. The Second International helped imperialism suppress the colonists (Governor - General Varenne was a member of the Second International). The Third International teaches the world's proletariat - whatever race, profession, religion - to unite for revolution. The Second International instigated the people of one country against the people of another, one profession against another. 12. How does the Third International relate to the revolution of Annam? See in the organization of the Third International, there is a separate ministry, dedicated to researching and helping the revolution in Asia - Far East. See the slogan of the Third International, not only that "workers" but also included the sentence "... and the oppressed people of all countries, unite!". See the rule of the Third International in 21 articles, the 8th says: "Communist parties, especially the French Communist Party... must do their best to help the colonial people to stage revolutions". While France was fighting Morocco and Syria, the French Communist Party sacrificed dozens of Party members who were arrested, imprisoned, and fined more than 1 million silver francs for helping those two countries. See the Russian revolution helping the parties of China, Turkey, Persia, Mongolia. Again, the plan on the colonial question was made by Lenin himself. Seeing these things is enough to know that if Annam wants to succeed in its own revolution, it must follow the Third International. COMMUNIST WOMEN'S INTERNATIONAL 1. Why was Communist Women's International founded? Mr. Marx said: “Anybody who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without the feminine ferment. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the “fair sex”.” Mr. Lenin said: “If we do not draw women into public activity, into the militia, into political life; if we do not tear women away from the deadening atmosphere of household and kitchen; then it is impossible to secure real freedom, it is impossible even to build democracy, let alone socialism.” [I can’t find any quote that follow the strict meaning so this is the closest, the original full sentence in Vietnamese is: “A true revolutionary vanguard party must draw household women into political activities, only in that way will the revolution succeed.”] Those words are not just fluffy puffed up words. There has never been a time in the history of revolutions where women and girls did not participate. The French Revolutionary Army had people like the student Charlotte Corday pulling out a knife and killing the Jacobin that abused his power, like Louise Michel, who came out to help organize the Paris Commune. During the Russian Revolution, women volunteered to join the army; statistically, the women's revolutionary guard divisions had 1,854 casualties. Now, one of the reasons why the Russian revolution was so successful in such a rapid pace, standing so tall, was because the women giving their all in that effort. Therefore, in order for the world revolution to succeed, it is necessary to mobilize the working women from all over the world. Therefore the Communist Women's International was born. 2. What is the history behind the Communist Women's International? In 1910, Mrs. Clara Zetkin (German communist) proposed in the Second International Congress that: Every year on March 8, we should make a commenmorative day called "International Women's Day". After that one date was changed to a week. The slogan for that week was: "Asking for women's suffrage". In 1917, on February 23, women in the Russian capital surfaced "Bring us bread for our children!" and demanding "Bring back our husbands!" (because the husband had to go to war). This violence was the spark that fueled the Russian revolution. On March 8, 1920, the Third International sent Madame Zetkin to organize the Communist Women's International. The slogan is: "Working women must unite with the Third International for the world revolution". In 1923, Russian women celebrated "March 8" and opened 66 childcare homes, 36 childcare centers, 18 foster homes, 22 hospitals and nursing homes, 15 maternity wards, and 15 communal kitchens for 10,000 people; 27 cooperatives employing 1,300 working women, 11 parks and homes for the sick. 3. How is Communist Women's International organized? The rules and program are roughly the same as the Third International. But this section only specializes in education, organization and training of women and girls, and helps in educating children of workers and peasants. Each communist party must have a section representing of women, directly under the command of the Communist Women's International. All women party members must follow the international’ directives, no matter how hard or dangerous the mission, they must do it. For example: Party member A is not a worker, but when the International told her to apply for a job in a factory in order to mobilize women there, she would have to quit her old job and go to work in that factory. In short, the rules are very strict, the actions are united, and the work is also very difficult. Because most women in our country still have conservative ideas. However, because everyone is wholehearted in the mission, the work progresses quickly. Thanks to Communist Women's International , newly formed communist parties like the one in Java had the number of women party members increasing day by day. The An Nam revolution must also have the participation of women to succeed, and any Annam woman who wants revolution must follow the guidance of Communist Women's International. RED INTERNATIONAL OF LABOR UNIONS 1. What is the history of International Worker Labor Unions? First, we must know through the history of workers' movement, then we will talk about the history of the Red International of Labor Unions. The history of worker movement is divided into 3 periods: a) Before the European war, b) During the European war, c) After the European war. a) Before the European War: There were about 16 million organized workers in Europe and the United States and an association called the "International Secretariat of National Trade Union Centres". But those 16 million people did not join the "International Secretariat of National Trade Union Centres". because the organized workers were divided into many factions: 1. British and American trade unions only care about improving workers’ lives, but no mentioning of overthrowing capital. 2. Anarchist unions of Latin countries, did not want to form political parties. 3. The reformist factions only advocated for trade unions support of the political parties, but it should merge with the political party. 4. Neutralism holds that workers are not the basis of revolutions. 5. Communists, with the policy of overthrowing capital and that workers is the revolutionary foundation, there must be a political party to lead the trade union to do the revolution. Because of their muddled purpose and inconsistent directions, the Secretariat had no force. b) When Europe was at war: This association followed the Second International, mean all country's union supporting the capitalist of their country. Not to mention, even with “international” in their name, the association only represented European and American workers, while Asian, African and Australian workers weren’t members. c) After the European war: Partly, because of the workers suffering, and the success of the Russian revolutionary, labor unions grew bigger and bigger. For example: From 1913 In 1919 England grew from only 4,000,000 people to 8,000,000 France grew from only 1,000,000 people to 2,500,000 All countries: from 15,000,000 people to 50,000,000 people Associations in Asia - East also established trade unions at a rapid pace (In China, Japan, India, Java, Philippines, etc.). 2. What was the result of that movement? Capitalists of all countries saw that the workers were prosperous, this struck fear into them, and they sought to calm them down. In 1919, there was a congress in the US capital, to solve the problems of workers in the world. In that association there are representatives of Governments, capitalists, and national labor unions. But it only had the Second International to represent the workers. The countries where prosperous workers have won the 8 hours workday (such as Britain and France), the Government delegate of those countries asked the other countries to also use 8 hours as a common practice (for fear that the capital of the other country would outcompete their capital). it as well. After capitalists had formed the League of Nations, they also established their own international labor union, called the International Labour Organization, with 12 representatives for governments, 6 representatives for capitalits, and 6 representatives for workers. They even boldy accept the strike breakers and scabs to be the workers' representatives! 3. When the capitalists did this, what did workers in other countries act in response? Workers had 31 international unions. 29 of them were trade international unions, that is, any profession having its own international; One of the internationals is called the Amsterdam International or “yellow” International and the other opposing it is the Red International. The international trade unions has a long history, with about 20,000,000 members. Among those 29 internationals, the iron industry is the biggest (3,000,000 people); the second is the coal industry (2,500,000 people); third are factory workers (2,300,000 people), etc. During the European war, those internationals were also dissolved, after the war they were reformed, but because of the opportunists were in power, their work was ineffectual. Like in 1921, 1,000,000 British coal miners went on strike, because the US, German and other coal miners did not help they were defeated. In 1922, 500,000 American coal miners went on strike, but also because no one was willing to help they also failed. In short, these “internationals” were in name only. 4. Why is the Amsterdam International called “yellow”? Because that International was established in Amsterdam (capital of Holland). In the new language, counter-revolutiony is called yellow color; and revolutiony is called red. In 1919, the Union representatives of the Secretariat convened in Amsterdam to form this international. At the beginning, the membership was widespead, but after many unions joined "Red" International, now there are only 23 associations left, with 14,400,000 members. This international followed reformists of the Second International to make peace with capital, and did many counter-revolutionary acts such as: 1. Approving the Treaty of Versailles of the imperialists, forcing Germany to pay 400,000,000 dong in reparations. 2. When Germany could not bear it, the US set up a plan (called the Dawes plan) to make Germany pay 132,000,000,000 dong. The plan made German workers and peasants into essentially slaves. Yet the Amsterdam International also agreed. 3. Barring the Russian labor unions from joining. 4. They vehemently opposed communists, yet they treat the fascists with peace. 5. Why is it called the Red International of Labor Unions? The yellow International made peace with capital, so the revolutionary workers sought to establish another international. In July of 1920, a few British, Italian, French, Spanish and Russian workers set up a propaganda agency. In 1921, there were many unions leaving the other side to their side. On July 3rd of that year, the Red International of Labor Unions was established. The Red International followed the Third International, determined to continue class struggle. Now there 47 countries' unions have joined, with 11,750,000 members. In May 1925, the Asia-East side had these labor unions: China: 450,000 members; Java: 35,000 members; Japan: 32,000 members; Goryeo: 5,000 members; Mongolia: 5,000 members; Turkey: 20,000 members; Annam: 000. 6. How does this red international relate to the revolution of Annam? In the yellow International, there are no Asian - Eastern associations, while in the Red International, there are 8 colonial associations. When the Javanese and Indian workers went on strike, the Red International did their best to help, while the Yellow International did not even pay attention. In China, Shanghai workers went on strike for more than three months, Hong Kong went on strike for more than a year and a half, the Red International helped with their fundings, sent delegates to encourage, and called for the unions of other countries to help. On the other hand, the yellow International only printed a few leaflets and then kept silent. If the Annamese workers knew how to organize, the Red International would wholeheartedly help in staging the revolution. But if you want people to help you, you have to help yourself first. YOUNG COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL 1. What is Young Communist International? Formerly all socialist parties had a youth wing. When these parties combined to form the Second International, they also organize an international youth society. During the European war, most of the Second International made peace with capital, and many young people also imitated this agreement. The young revolutionaries who left those associations were like Lenin and the real revolutionaries that left the Second International. In November of 1919, the young revolutionaries of 14 European countries gathered in the German capital (Berlin) to establish the Young Communist International. In 1921, there were young people from 43 countries following in. In 1922 there were 60 countries, with 760,000 members. In 1924 there were more than 1,000,000 ( not counting the Russian youths). 2. How is it organized? Roughly the same way as the Third International. Youths from different countries open congresses and appoint representatives; The representatives of the international have the right to command, and the youth of all countries must necessarily follow the plans and orders of that representative. Anyone approximately 16 to 20 years old can join the Association. Before the Association let them in, they have to prove themselves, workers and soldiers will take 6 months, students will take a year to work before they can join. The purpose of Young Communist International is: 1. World revolution; 2. Fostering talents to contribute to the Communist Party; 3. Exercising in economics and politics, communicating with the youths; 4. Propaganda, organize and train young workers, farmers, students and soldiers; 5. Opposing superstition and advocating for education. 3. How do they work? Some are public, as in Russia, in other countries some are operating semi-secretly, as in European countries and America. In other places it is secret like in Goryeo, Java, etc. Propaganda and organization are according to different circumstances. Sending people to infiltrate the army, or work as workers, or do farmwork, or go to school to propagate and recruit comrades. When few comrades are found, a new branch needed to be set up. Other than that, it is possible to set up a study groups, a football associations, or hobby association to select comrades and propagate. In short, they did everything they could to get close to the people. 4. How does the Young Communist International work with the Communist Party? Those two organizations treat each other in a democratic way, meaning, whenever the party has something to discuss, there is a youth delegate to attend the meeting. When youth international have something discuss, the party has delegates to attend the meeting. In political directions, young people follow the party's leadership, but young people are independent for working praxis. If the party and the youth have disagreements, it is arbitrated by the two internationals. Communist youth worked very hard and sacrificed evrything for the revolution. In 1921, the German Youth had only 27,000 people and the US had only 4 branches. But by 1922, Germany had 70,000 people and the US had 150 branches. When French soldiers were stationed in Germany, for propagandizing against imperialism in the army, 120 young French men were imprisoned. When the French attacked Morocco, because of the same actins, more than 3,000 French youths were arrested. The student strikes in China, the campaigns in Goryeo, the strike in the UK, etc., Communist Youth all led the charge. Today, every country has communist youth organs. But not Annam! WORKERS INTERNATIONAL RELIEF 1. What is the Workers International Relief? In 1921, Russia suffered a great drought, and many people starved to death. The imperialists took advantage of that opportunity. One side wanted to incite the Russians people to rebel, while the other side wanted to send in troops to crush Russia's revolution. To do so, they brought warships to blockade the Russian sea, preventing ships from carrying food to sell to the Russian people. Kind-hearted people like Mr. Nansen (a very famous scientist in Norway, who flew across the North Pole), and labor unions organized relief societies to collect money, food, and clothes to send to the Russian people. But because the organization was scattered, so the strength was lacking. The Third International and the Red International of Labor Unions (newly organized) initiated an International Help Association, to gather all relief relief efforts. The Second International and the yellow International Workers vehemently refused to enter, and set up a separate relief association. Against this obstacle, the Workers International Relief was established. From the end of 1921 to 1922, this International raised more than 5,000,000 silver coins and 40,000,000 kilos of food for the Russian people. 2. When Russia was not hungry any more, what did this international do? When Russia was no longer hungry, this International continued to work forever more. Wherever there is a disaster in any country, this International would try its best to help. Like in 1923, Ireland lost its harvest, tens of thousands of people had no food, no clothes to wear. Thanks to the International help, they did not starve to death. In 1924, German workers went on strike with more than 60,000 people. This international set up a communal kitchens for free, every day more than 25,000 workers came to eat. As well as establishing a hospital to help sick strikers; building foster homes for children of workers, set up caravans to bring German children to the labor unions of neightbor countries for education only returned them when the strike was near. The year Japan had an earthquake, China got flooded, this International also brought food, clothing and building materials to help. In short, anywhere that is disaster stricken, this International will help. 3. Where does the international relief get money? This international is not like a association that distributes and gives charities from capitalists. The purpose of this International is for "the workers and peasants in the world are brothers, when the brothers of one country are in trouble, the brothers of the other country must help", so where they are needed, the members do their best to gather contributions, where there are peace, members must contribute the fees. The membership fee depends on the class of people such as workers who make more money would give more, farmers with less money would give less. But everyone has to contribute. Because the International has branches across all 5 continents, and the membership are very large, especially in Russia, so just the membership fees alone is quite a lot. The international community brings that money to produce profits, such as opening a agricultural business, working film theaters, opening a trading house, fishing guilds, etc. Most of these activities are in Russia. Only one fishing guild in Astrakhan harvested 4-5 million kilos of fish a year. All the money sold is used to help the world. 4. What is the use of this international for our revolution? Like Annam encountered disasters with the dyke system collapse recently, or during the great droughts and floods. If the International knew, it would help. However: 1. It is because our people have not yet known of them to cry out for help; 2. The French fear of the International making our people know how to be in solidarity among the proletariat of the world; 3. The French is afraid of revolutionary propaganda, so it tries with all their might to hide from our people that there is such an association in the world and prevents the International from reaching Annam. Whatever the French hates, it is all beneficial to Annam. As for the revolution, this International also helped a lot. It seems that when the Russian people were starving, thanks to this International, there was no resentment against the Revolutionary Government. Thanks to this International, Japanese workers can quickly restore their labor unions. German workers, thanks to this International, can continue to struggle, and so on. Because of this, the International will be of great benefit to Annam's revolution. INTERNATIONAL RED AID 1. What is the International Red Aid? While the International relief helps people in accidents, and also helps political exiles. International Red Aid specializes in helping political exiles only. Now it's the time to fight; The proletariat struggles with capital, the oppressed people struggles with imperialism. Capitalism and imperialism are on one side, the proletariat and the oppressed people on the other. Those two factions are like two armies fighting each other. The revolutionary army followed the flag of the Third International. The counter-revolutionary army followed the flag of the rich. In a fight, people being arrested, being injured, being killed are unavoidable. The International Red Aid is like a hospital to care for the wounded, to help those who were arrested, to take care of their elderly and weak parents, their wives and children of those who died in the battle for the revolution. 2. When was the International Red Aid established? In 1923, the Third International opened a congress, the association "exiled for life" and the association of "old communists" proposed, and the Third International approved the establishment of the International Red Aid. First set up the Headquarters in Russia. Now every country has a branch. (But not yet in Annam). Russia now has 50,000 branches and 9 million members. All the workers and many peasants had joined that association, either individually, or as a whole. All communists and young communists must join that association. When it was established, the first three months they had raised 300,000 dong. Four months later, they raised 4,000,000 dong. In Guangdong province, China has only established a cell for 6 months and already has 250,000 members. Seeing that, we can understand that this International is developing very quickly. 3. How does this international aid in the struggle? When revolutionaries are either exiled out, or arrested, or imprisoned, or killed, the International helps in: 1. Politics; 2. Economy; 3. Material; 4. Morale. a) Political help: If someone is arrested or imprisoned, the International will direct for the local party cells to start marches and protests in solidarity. Just like recently, two Italian revolutionaries were arrested in the US, about to be sentenced to death, not only did the American workers protested, but in any country that has US embassies, the workers opened the weekly congresses and declared: “If the Government kills those two, the American workers will go on strike, and the world's workers will boycott America.” When the US saw that, they did not dare to touch them. b) Economical help: Whenever revolutionaries are imprisoned, they often eats and drinks under terrible conditions, while their wives and children are at home, with no one to take care of. The International send money to buy food in prison and help family members more or less to avoid poverty. In this way, the captives are relieved from suffering. Or International can pay to hire a lawyer to appeal against the sentence. Or send clothes and books. c) Help morale wise: Either send people or send letters to visit. 1. Prisoners now know that although they sacrificed for the masses but the people did not forget them, then while in prison, they did not feel depressed and can recover further. 2. People know that although they have to be imprisoned in one place, the revolutionary work is still developing, and there are still people who do it for them. 4. Should Annam revolution follow this International? Undoubtedly. The Annam revolution was also a part of the world revolution. Whoever does revolution in the world is a comrade of the people of Annam. As comrades, we must go through thick and thin together. What's more, when the people of Annam are struggling with French imperialism, there will surely be many revolutionaries in the future who will have to sacrifice, suffer, and need help from our brothers in the world.
