Research On Lenin's Democratic Thought

Democracy is an important theoretical issue of Lenin's and Kautsky concern with.Lenin in the "country and revolution","proletarian revolution and traitor Kautsky" and other articles on Kautsky's democratic ideology of the sharp criticism,the word between the line contains their own basic views on the issue of democracy.Since the publication of the proletarian revolution and renegade Kautsky,the controversy over Lenin's and Kautsky's issue of democracy and dictatorship has become a major theoretical issue for scholars at home and abroad,but it has not reached a consensus until today The There are more controversies in the academic circles about the issues they argue.There are criticisms and praise.Some people think that Lenin inherited and developed Marx and Engels' democratic thoughts.Kautsky distorts the Marxist theory of democracy.Some people think that Lenin is too hasty about democracy and distorts Marx and Engels' views on dictatorship.In recent years,the color revolutions in many countries have led to the re-emergence of democracy.Rethinking Lenin's and Kautsky's debate on democracy is not only an important academic value for us to sort out the substance of the debate between them,but also an important reality for us to clearly understand the new democratic problems that emerge in the contemporary world significance.Democracy is the political phenomenon in which human society develops to a certain historical stage.The study of Lenin and Kautsky's democratic ideology should be examined in the historical environment at that time.Lenin's democratic ideology,as described in the article "Proletarian Revolution and Traitor Caucasus," was the result of his long history of revolutionary activities and theoretical studies,the product of social and historical conditions at that time,and deeply marked his understanding of social and political The mark.In order to betterunderstand and grasp Lenin's democratic thoughts in this paper,the author divides the formation process of Lenin's democratic thought into three stages according to the social and historical background at that time:the period influenced by Western democratic thought is influenced by Marxist democratic theory The period of the Russian revolution and the construction of the period under the guidance of Marxist democratic theory.This article focuses on the issue of democracy after the victory of the proletarian revolution,that is,the relationship between Lenin and Kautsky on the class of democracy,the relationship between democracy and dictatorship,the Soviet constitution,the Constituent Assembly and other issues.On this basis,the author puts forward that Lenin 's democratic thought has three characteristics of class nature,practice and innovation.After the death of Marx and Engels,Kautsky,Lenin as an outstanding successor to Marxism.The reason why they have such a big debate on the issue of democracy,I believe that they have a different understanding of Marxist democracy.We can understand and grasp the Marxist concept of democracy from the three levels of the state,the government and the majority of the principles of the proceedings.From the national point of view,Lenin emphasizes the class nature of democracy,emphasizing which class of democracy,and Kautsky on the sense of democracy in the country is not enough attention;from the polity point of view,Kautsky attaches great importance to Western developed countries in the construction of democracy The achievements of these achievements have universal values,and Lenin stressed that democracy is more in line with the specific reality of each country,emphasizing the class nature and particularity of democracy;from the organizational point of view,Lenin and Kauta The basic view is consistent,and they all pay much attention to the principle of the majority of the proceedings in accordance with the democratic process.These are different from Kautsky and Lenin in the different stages of capitalist society,the twocountries living in different countries,different growth environment.It now appears that the two of their democratic ideology more or less there is a certain historical limitations.Although Lenin's democratic ideology is more in line with the objective reality of the society at that time,it can not be said that the ups and downs of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union have nothing to do with the limitations of Lenin's democratic ideology.If the Soviet Union in the socialist construction of Kautsky's democratic ideology to give enough attention,can effectively strengthen the democratic political construction,it is possible to avoid the tragedy.
