毛泽东曾经说过:斯大林严重破坏社会主义法制这样的事件,在英、法、美这样的西方国家不可能发生(《邓小平文选》(1975～1982),人民出版社1983年版,第298页)。由此可见,毛泽东是肯定英、法、美这些西方国家的法治体制的,至少是认为这些国家的法治体制优于前苏联的政法体制。事实 Mao Zedong once said: Stalin severely undermined the socialist legal system such events that can not occur in Western countries like Britain, France and the United States (Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping (1975-1982), People’s Publishing House, 1983, p. 298). From this it can be seen that Mao Zedong affirmed the rule of law in these western countries such as Britain, France and the United States, at least believing that the rule of law system in these countries is superior to the political and legal systems of the former Soviet Union. fact
