Democratic Revolution, The Kmt During The Political Platform Of A Comparative Study

The political program is the specific guidelines of a political party to realize its doctrine or its political ideal. Not only is it an initial stage to realize the party's revolutionary theories, but also a concrete project to promote revolutionary exercise. Whether a party can properly establish and carry out the political outline or not directly concerns its survival. After 1920's, the growth and decay of the Nationalist Party and the Communist Party, the historical position's change of two parties, was surely a result by the comprehensive function of the factors of politics, economy, military, etc. of the Chinese society at that time. But in the final analysis, was decided by the political outlines of these two parties.The total development trend of the political program of the Kuomintang is that, before the Kuomintang was in power, the old Three People's Principles and the new Three People's Principles had adapted the historical development trends. They reflected the political requirement in anti-imperialist and anti-feudal of the masses to a certain degree. And they tried to use the bourgeoisie democratic ideas to fight against feudalistic ideas, which represented the development direction of the advanced culture. Then the two outlines both had the certain advancement and they were revolution outlines of bourgeoisie character.
