Summary: The socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics has its own characteristics, the essence of which is that people are the masters in line with the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the people, and it is applied with China's basic national conditions as well. Yet, the nature of Western bourgeois democracy is the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The realization of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics is consistent with the nature of democracy, the principle of which is the implementation of democratic centralism, yet the bourgeois democracy reflects the de facto absolute inequality, or the separation of powers, which is concealed by the formal equality. Democracy, which is concrete, rather than tenuous, is based on the class. So different classes have different demands for democracy and different understanding of the connotation of democracy. Therefore, the exposition of the superiority of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics and of exposing the nature and its hypocrisy of Western bourgeois has important theoretical and practical significance for the adherence to the four cardinal principles and opposing and resisting the thoughts of Western bourgeois liberalization. |
