对毛泽东“大民主”思想的再认识

Reflections on Mao Zedong's "Great Democracy"

"大民主"思想是毛泽东在晚年提出并付诸实践的民主理论。毛泽东提出"大民主"思想的最初目的是反对官僚主义,后来则用于进行政治斗争。"大民主"思想存在严重误区,它违背了民主的本义,忽视了民主的阶级性,违反了民主的程序性,缺乏法律上的精确性。但是,"大民主"作为一种民主政治模式,蕴含着一些合理成分,被视为社会主义民主政治的一种理想形态。而且,毛泽东在进行"大民主"实践时,其理论思维的主观动机和价值取向是值得肯定的。

The thorough study of Mao Zedong＇s＂great democracy＂ is far from being satisfactory. Theoretically, the theory violates the essence of democracy, neglects the class nature of democracy, offends the procedure of democracy, and lacks the accuracy of law. However. as one kind of democratic model, ＂great democracy＂ implies some reasonable elements and is deemed as an ideal form of socialist democracy. Furthermore, the subjective motive and value orientation in Mao Zedong＇s theoretical thinking are praiseworthy.
