Hô Chi Minh

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani counts Ho Chi Minh among his three favourite heads of state of the twentieth century1 and names him among the successors of revolutionary thought2. He calls him "our comrade" and presents him as the leader of the struggle for Vietnam's independence3. In his 2023 sessions on worldliness in Clouscard, he comes back to his time in France. He describes him as a print worker in Paris, a founder of the French Communist Party at the Congress of Tours, and a product of the colonial school4. He stresses that Ho Chi Minh at first wanted Vietnam to become a French département, before leading the Indochina War and winning two wars5. He keeps from him the phrase "nothing is more precious than independence and freedom"6. He speaks of him in a session devoted to the world as a "cunning of reason", about a leader shaped within the colonial power he later fought.
