In the process of the present socialist democratic political construction, appearing some false ideas,these points almost are intimately relative to the western democratic theory in the twentieth century. With regards to the western democratic theory in the twentieth century,we should make the whole analysis. This kind of analysis must be guided by Marxism.When we analyze the western democratic theory in the twentieth century,we must identify the conception and basic connotation of democracy, must eradicate the theory of regarding western democracy as the centre, must grasp profoundly the mutual relations between these divergent democratic theories and essences, must eliminate the thinking chaos about democratic centralism made by these theories, must make clear the evolving law of the western democratic theory and the developing trend of the capitalist democratic system.
