Pioneering a New Path of Democracy Through Transcendence:A Comparative Analysis of People's Democracy and Western Democracy
Democratic political building is pivotal in political issues.Over time,Western countries have packaged Western democracy as universal values,monopolizing the interpretation of the concept of democracy and the discourse on the democratic path,which has hindered the development of democratic politics.People's democracy is the lifeblood of socialism,offering a brand-new paradigm for socialist democratic practice that transcends Western democracy.From a comparative perspective,Western democracy emerged initially for the purpose of checks and balances,representing democracy of the few elites,full of hypocrisy,and gradually reduced to mere"elections",characterized by isolated and phased democracy.People's democracy,on the other hand,always pursues people's mastery,representing the most extensive and truly effective democracy,emphasizing the connectivity and entirety of democratic practices.Whole-process people's democracy not only embodies the best form of democracy in contemporary human political civilization but also provides more diverse choices for the development of democracy in other countries.
