民主集中制“集中”倾向的诱因与矫正

Cause and Correction of the Tendency of “Centralization” in Democratic Centralism

在一定意义上说,当下中国政治体制的形态是由其设计的基本原则即民主集中制所塑造的。而民主集中制存在的主要缺陷就是其"集中"倾向强而民主性不足。民主集中制"集中"倾向的矫正路径,应当是复归民主集中制的民主本义,把民主集中制作为一项整体的民主制度,而非"民主制"和"集中制"两种制度的组合形式,进而把它看作间接民主与直接民主的统一。

In a sense,the political system in China today is shaped by the designed fundamental principle,i.e.democratic centralism,which has the major defect of powerful tendency of centralization and insufficient democratization.To correct the tendency of centralization,the original meaning of democracy in democratic centralism should be regained,and democratic centralism should act as an integral democracy,not just the combination of'democracy'and'centralism'.Then,democratic centralism should be regarded as the unification of representative democracy and direct democracy,to guide and drive the design for democracy of democratic centralism with the idea of scientific development and comprehensive political reform.
