Early this month he was kicked out of the party, basically for allowing his critical missives to be aired by foreign media. People shared their suffering, bullets and blood with the party. It was beautiful. Today, the party and the people are two. The party is an elite group of rulers over the people.
People remain the voiceless subjects.
The party hierarchy has absolute authority and is under the jurisdiction of no laws. I never expected that those dreams of the old days to build a better society could have turned into today's bitter reality of a huge ruling machine laden with disease and vice. We need to evaluate the ongoing unrest in Thai Binh. It is an early warning. Economic development requires the abandonment of the party's ideology.
