The Theory on New Democracy

Updated:2022-07-13 | By:The Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies

The Theory on New Democracy

The innovative Theory on New Democracy was created by the Chinese Communists represented by Mao Zedong, integrating Marxism-Leninism with the process of the Chinese revolution.

From October 1939 to January 1940, Mao Zedong published three articles entitled "Introducing The Communist," "The Chinese Revolution and the Chinese Communist Party," and "On New Democracy," in which he explained ideas on new democracy, and proposed answers to a number of basic questions about the Chinese revolution and China's future prospects.

Identifying China as a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, Mao analyzed the prominent features of the Chinese revolution – its nature, tasks, targets, motives, process, allies, and leadership. He proposed the theory of a new democratic revolution – a mass revolution led by the proletariat and based on a worker-peasant alliance against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism. He identified three factors – the united front, armed struggle, and leadership by the CPC – as the three "magic weapons" that would enable the Communist Party to defeat the enemy. He also established the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside to achieve a nationwide victory, and concluded that the new democratic revolution would ultimately enjoy a socialist future.

This theory resulted from the practical application of Marxism-Leninism in the context of the Chinese revolution. It was a comprehensive summary of the experience gained during the Chinese revolution, particularly since the founding of the CPC. It was the most significant theoretical achievement of Mao Zedong Thought during the war of resistance. The theory helped the whole Party and the Chinese people gain a clear understanding of the requirements for success in the Chinese revolution, and provided indispensable guidance in conducting the war of resistance.

新民主主义理论

新民主主义理论是以毛泽东为主要代表的中国共产党人,把马克思列宁主义与中国革命的具体实践相结合,不断进行理论创新,形成的具有独创性的关于中国革命的理论,是马克思主义中国化的一次飞跃。

从1939年10月到1940年1月,毛泽东相继发表了《〈共产党人〉发刊词》《中国革命和中国共产党》《新民主主义论》等重要著作,系统完整地提出了新民主主义理论,集中地向全党和全国人民回答了关于中国革命和中国前途的一系列基本问题。主要包括:从中国半殖民地半封建社会出发,深刻分析中国革命的性质、任务、对象、动力、同盟军、领导权和革命步骤及转变的问题;根据中国革命的特点和发展规律,创立无产阶级领导的以工农联盟为基础的,人民大众的,反对帝国主义、封建主义和官僚资本主义的新民主主义革命的理论;总结出统一战线、武装斗争、党的领导是革命的三大法宝;创造出一条以农村包围城市,最后夺取全国胜利道路的指导原则;提出新民主主义的发展前途是社会主义。

以毛泽东为主要代表的中国共产党人创立的新民主主义理论,是马克思列宁主义同中国革命实际相结合的产物,是中国革命特别是建党以来历史经验的全面总结,是毛泽东思想在抗战时期最重大的理论成果。新民主主义理论的提出,使全党和全国人民清楚地看到了中国革命的发展规律和前景,有力地指导和促进了抗日战争和中国革命的胜利发展。
