毛泽东民主思想既闪耀着真理的光辉,也存在着理论上的失误和实践的教训。他一生追求民主但忽略了民主功能的局限性,他注重民主的阶级属性但忽略民主的社会属性。今天我们构建社会主义民主政治之时,需要认真研究毛泽东民主思想,注重研究民主的社会属性,寻求实现民主的有效形式。 Mao Zedong’s democratic thinking not only shines the glorious truth, but also has theoretical mistakes and practical lessons. He pursued democracy throughout his life but neglected the limitations of democratic functions. He paid attention to the class attribute of democracy but neglected the social attributes of democracy. When building socialist democracy today, we need to seriously study Mao Zedong’s democratic thinking, pay attention to studying the social attributes of democracy and seek for an effective form of democracy.
