The Indochinese Communist Party (ICP)
Background
The
The
The organization emerged from a network of revolutionary committees formed among Vietnamese residents in the border areas of Cambodia towards the end of 1946.
In 1950, Vietnamese sources claimed the organization had a membership of 50,000.[8]
Transformation
In a resolution issued by the Vietnamese Communist Party in October 1930, the party criticized its own regulations and party name, with the resolution stating: "When naming the party "Vietnamese Communist Party", it implies that Cambodia and Laos are not concerned. Excluding these countries is a wrong thing because Annam, Cambodia and Laos should closely contact each other in terms of politics and economics even though they do not share a language, custom, and ethic". The party resolved "to give up the name "Vietnamese Communist Party" and to take the new name "Indochinese Communist Party".[9]
Later, the ICP issued a statement to explain the reason for changing its name. Noting the historical relationship between Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, the flyer emphasized the need of a union of three countries to overthrow the French colonial regime in Indochina.[10]
Party activity program
The party program of action was based on 10 points:[11]
- To overthrow French imperialism, Vietnamese feudalism and reactionary bourgeoisie;
- To make Indochina completely independent;
- To establish a worker-peasant-soldier government;
- To confiscate banks and other enterprises belonging to the imperialists and put them under the control of the worker-peasant-soldier government;
- To confiscate all the plantations and property belonging to the imperialists and the reactionary bourgeoisie and distribute them to the poor;
- To implement eight-hour working days;
- To abolish the forced buying of government bonds, the poll tax and all unjust taxes that the poor has to pay;
- To bring democratic freedoms to the masses;
- To dispense education to all the people; and
- To realize equality between men and women.
Dissolution
On 11 November 1945, the Indochinese Communist Party issued a communique to dissolve itself.
