(Article 198, Civil Law 2015) + +ok so how do you get some land to build houses or grow a farm? the State will +assign the *permission to use* to the users of the land (Article 4, Land on Law +2013). this permission to use can be revoked at any time for various reasons, +one of which is "to improve economy and society for the national and public +benefits" (Article 16, Land on Law 2013). to my understanding, this means the +State can take your land, where you are living, to build a road or a factory or +a farm, because that is "public benefits", or even [golf courts][golf], because +it "improves economy". you will be compensated for that or assigned another +piece of land (relocation), though (Clause 3, Article 26, Land on Law 2013) but +in reality it's not always that smooth + +[golf]: https://vietnamnet.vn/vuong-san-golf-dan-bo-hoang-ruong-vuon-36343.html + +"this is putting too much power to the state", you're probably thinking, and i +would agree. i sure hope they don't abuse that power. + +--- + +## HISTORY + +in the 1950s, the vietnamese communist party (VCP) did a radical land reform, +taking land from landlords and assign it to the people. it is probably one of +the biggest part of the communist revolution. finally gaining ~~ownership~~^W +permission to use a piece of land of their own, people were happy, especially +farmers, who had worked like slave for landlords at insignificant wage. +however, many of them ended up selling back lands to landlords because they're +not hard-working enough (?) (according to some old people who witnessed this +era) + +nowadays, it may be better than before land reform, we still have people who +don't own any land, and corporations and conglomerates that own a lot of land. +there are landlords (but we don't call them landlords) whose main income is +monthly rent, and there are workers who work on pieces of land where they do +not ~~own~~^W have permission to use + +--- + +note that i am not a lawyer so the legal terms as well as the deduction might +be inaccurate. this post is not an opposition to VCP or a suggestion to change +the law -- cgit 1.4.1
