3 Social Revolution, Democratic Centralism, and Shaping of Political Ability

Socialist state has a strong political ability, which, however, was shaped before the establishment of socialist state and forged in the historical process of creating socialist state through social revolution. More precisely, the strong political ability of socialist state is the product of the Communist Party leading the Chinese social revolution. If the Communist Party brought the seed of the strong political ability, the heritage of Chinese traditional civilization has prepared the soil for the growth of the strong political ability, and social revolution has provided the climate for the growth of the strong political ability. In other words, the strong political ability has created socialist state, and socialist state is a master of strong political ability, which is an inherent nature of socialist state.

Chinese traditional civilization collapsed under the impact of modernization, but the road to modernization must take centralized modern state as the political premise. Therefore, grand political unification, as the core element of Chinese traditional civilization, aligned with the centralization of modern state, embodied in the fact that modern state must achieve centralization, and centralization can simultaneously support the overall transition of traditional civilization to modern state. However, centralization alone is not enough. After the collapse of Chinese traditional civilization, Chinese society formed a comprehensive crisis or an overall crisis, and only by means of social revolution can such crisis be effectively dealt with and a modern state be created. Social revolution has a strong demand for centralization, without which it is impossible to integrate revolutionary resources. However, social revolution also has a strong demand for democracy, and without in-depth organization and mobilization, and extensive political participation, it is impossible to carry out a social revolution. Therefore, social revolution must achieve centralization on the basis of in-depth organization and mobilization and extensive political participation, a task that is completed by the Communist Party. The Communist Party takes democratic centralism as the fundamental organizational principle, and achieving centralization on the basis of extensive democracy is a concentrated reflection of the leadership process of the Communist Party. Therefore, the Chinese revolution led by the Communist Party has developed centralization into democratic centralism.

The political ability of socialist state was forged in the process of the Communist Party leading the Chinese social revolution, the main line of which is to unite all revolutionary classes and build a socialist country on the basis of cohering them into the overall strength of the people. The process of cohering the overall strength of the people is one of the interaction and integration of the logic of centralization and the logic of democracy, the result of which is the centralization on the basis of democracy, i.e. democratic centralism throughout the leadership process of the Communist Party. It was through democratic centralism that the Communist Party cohered various Chinese social classes into the overall strength of the people. Therefore, the strong political ability is shaped in the process of the intertwining and integration of the logic of
