党内民主是马克思主义政党必须坚持的根本原则。党内民主是党的建设和发展的内在要求,是在民主集中制原则基础上确立和发展的。它既不同于一般的民主实践,也不同于一般的民主精神在党内的体现。所以,中国共产党探索和实践党内民主的过程,就是贯彻和落实民主集中制的过程。 Inner-party democracy is the fundamental principle that the Marxist parties must uphold. Inner-party democracy is the inherent requirement of party building and development and is established and developed on the basis of the principle of democratic centralism. It is different from the general democratic practice and from the embodiment of the general democratic spirit in the Party. Therefore, the process of the CPC in exploring and practicing inner-party democracy is the process of implementing and implementing democratic centralism.
