The Formation of Nguyen Ai Quoc’s Method of Revolutionary Mobilization During his Activities in Guangzhou (1924–1927)

Abstract

This article examines the formation of Nguyen Ai Quoc’s method of revolutionary mobilization in Guangzhou during 1924–1927, focusing on the combination of theoretical dissemination, propaganda, organization, cadre training, and the establishment of communication networks. Based on historical sources and relevant studies, the article demonstrates that Guangzhou was not merely the site of Nguyen Ai Quoc’s activities but also a favorable environment for connecting the Vietnamese revolutionary movement with international revolutionary networks. There, he gradually transformed the dissemination of Marxism–Leninism into organized mobilization through training classes, the publication of the newspaper Thanh Nien and the book Duong Kach Menh, and the establishment of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth League. In particular, cadre training was closely linked to the construction of communication networks for transferring personnel, documents, and revolutionary ideas from Guangzhou to Vietnam. The article argues that this method of mobilization constituted an interconnected process extending from theory and propaganda to organization, cadre development, and network building, thereby contributing to the formation of revolutionary forces within Vietnam and creating important ideological, political, organizational, and cadre foundations for the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1930.
