The Civil War in France is the manifesto Marx wrote for the General Session of International Working Men's Association.Marx's summary and analysis of the causes and fighting process of the French Paris Commune,Marx has summed up the experience and lessons learned of the Paris Commune,it demonstrated the democratic norms for a future society.Marx pointed out that capitalist democracy is only a matter of bourgeoisie democracy,but it is a dictatorship of the broad masses of the people.Therefore,the proletariat can achieve its own liberation only if it controls political power,overthrows bourgeois rule and establishes the proletarian dictatorship.But the working class could not simply master the ready-made national machinery.for the political tools that enslaved them could not be used as political tools to liberate them.On this basis,Marx explained a kind of political democracy in which the people really came to power in the name of Paris Commune.Through the universal suffrage,supervision,removal and discussion of all the public officials,Marx guaranteed that the people actually came to power.Without the economic liberation of labour,any form of democratic politics would be meaningless.The commune was the government of the working class,and the laborers were free from the tools of slavery.It is the political form that has finally freed laborers from the economy.At the same time,Marx believed that in the first stage of communism was the transitional stage,the dictatorship of the proletariat must be carried out because of the residual forces of the bourgeoisie and the counter-revolutionaries are still there.The essence of the proletariat is proletarian democracy.The proletariat should use this powerful tool to capture the means of production seized by the bourgeoisie,to concentrate the means of production in the hands of the proletariat,to achieve people's autonomy,to transform relations of production and to promote the development of the productive forces,so as to the advanced stage of communism to truly achieve the all-round and free development of everyone.Against the background of the current chaotic concept of democracy and the heavy crisis of representative democracy,this paper systematically states that the democratic thought of Marx's "Civil war in France" is not only of great theoretical significance for resolving the crisis of representative democracy and correctly grasping the essential requirements of democratic thought and correctly understanding the realization form of democracy Moreover,it has great practical significance to improve our people's mastership and anti-corruption system,and to build a service-oriented government under the rule of law.
