In the process of constructing socialist democratic politics, it is imperative to have a solid understanding and grasp of the relationship between “self-consciousness” and “spontaneity”, to stick to and carry out the fundamental tenet of historical materialism that the masses are the creator of history, to implement socialist democratic procedure and form to its fullest, to stick to democratic decision-making, and to make it the first priority to improve people’s livelihood. To combat corruption has to focus on establishing the mechanism to constrain power and to wage a long-term, tough and unwavering struggle against existing and emerging vested interests and privileged bureaucratic stratum. Neither democratic centralism nor authoritarianism is to be abandoned, and electoral democracy and consultative democracy have to be combined together in order to realize limited centralization of power as well as orderly democracy.
