毛泽东对党内民主的探索经历了党的幼年时期、党的大发展时期、党的严重挫败时期等几个阶段。在毛泽东对党内民主探索的过程中,取得了巨大的成就,同时也留下了深刻的教训。因此,要做到科学客观地评价毛泽东对党内民主的探索,就要全面地梳理其党内民主思想。 Mao Zedong’s exploration of intra-party democracy has gone through several stages such as the early years of the party, the period of great party’s development, and the serious defeat of the party. In the process of Mao Zedong’s exploration of intra-party democracy, great achievements have been made, while deep lessons have also been left. Therefore, if we want to appraise Mao Zedong’s exploration of inner-party democracy scientifically and objectively, we must comprehensively sort out his inner-party democratic thinking.
