对民本主义的理性审视

A Rational Survey Of the Masses-oriented Policy

民本主义的民本是与君本紧密相联,其本质是以君王为根本,是封建专制的一种附产物。批判 封建主义思想较批判资本主义思想任务更为艰巨。历史的脐带是无法割断的,长期浸润于封建社会的中国在 进行社会主义现代民主建设过程中难免会在理论上、思想上受民本主义的影响,因此我们必须在理论上、认 识上划清民本与民主的界限,不能把社会主义民主政治降格为民本主义政治。社会主义现代化民主是我们孜 孜以求和努力奋斗的目标。

The masses-oriented policy derived from feudal despotism and is strictly based on the monarch-oriented policy. It is much more difficult to criticize feudalism than to criticize capitalism. As feudalism dominated China for ages, the masses-oriented policy impacts greatly the course of Chinese modernization of democracy theoretically and ideologically. Masses-orientation should be distinguished from democracy in order not to debase the socialistic democracy policy as the masses-oriented policy. It is socialistic democracy that is our ultimate aim.
