"Democratic New Road": Mao Zedong's Exploration Of Breaking The "Periodical Rate Of History"

The periodical circulation and to-and-fro between the thriving and the declining is ever the stubborn disease that the feudal society of China can't overcome. In order to make own party and people's government jump out the "periodical rate of history", Mao Zedong determines to break it by the way of "democratic new road".The basic principle of Mao Zedong's democracy is the people's democracy thought. It is inheritance and surpassing of the democratic view of the western bourgeoisie, the traditional civilian thought of China and the classical Marxism democratic view. Its main contents are the "people's big unity" thought, the "sovereignty at people" thought, the democratic right view of the people standard, the thought that values the huge function of people's pushing the history to develop and unconditionally believes the power of the mass campaign etc.The system design of the people's democratic thought is the political system of the people's democratic dictatorship. This political system mainly consists of a series of systems, such as the People's Congress Council system based on the people's democratic dictatorship, the system of multi-parties' cooperation leaded by CCP and the national regional autonomic system etc. The foundation of the people's democratic dictatorship system is the logical result that the Communist Party persons that regards Mao Zedong as the representative actively seek after and forwardly attempt the people's democracy from the theory and practice.Mao Zedong's lifetime is that of searching for and practising the democracy. He hunts after unremittingly the "democratic new road"in his old age, which mainly representates in the aspects of establishing the nature of our nation's democracy, regarding the democracy as the basic means of handling the contradictions among the people and dicussing the democratic centralism etc.. But, he couldn't handle well the relation between the democratic purpose and means, and appeared the serious error in the aspect of promoting "big democracy" in his old age. Certainly, to Mao Zedong's misplay in exploring the democracy, we should do the practical and realistic, fair analysis.The experience that Mao Zedong obtained in exploring the"democratic new road" is of the great theorectical and practical value. So in the today of constructing the socialism political civilization, we should correctly catch on the spirit substance of "people's sovereignty", gradually strengthen the political system of people's democratic dictatorship, highly value and advance the democracy construction of the party, and set up the idea that the crowd is responsible for supervising.
