The Political Department of the General Staff
explains the meaning of the "Three Aspects of Democracy
#
Cuite opposed to Lenin's Communism.
Lenin's doctrine is one of violence. Sun Man's one
of moderation.
The Political Department of the General Staff of the National Revolutionary Army, in order that the proletariat may understand Sun Chung San's "Three Aspects
of Democracy", has issued the following explanation of the difference between Lenin's Communism and Sun Chung
San's "Three Aspects of Democracy".
The Three Peoples' Principles" enunciated by
our president represent a doctrine which is both clear
and complete in the extreme. But ever since the Chinese
Communists thrust themselves into the Kuomintang not
only have all their actions becn calculated to confuse
and destroy the revolutionary work of the party but
in addition they have misinterpreted the very Bible of
the Revolution by issuing misleading abbreviations of
the "Three Aspects of Democracy" thus confounding the
understanding of the people. Accordingly our urifica- tion Movement must explain clearly what the Three
People's Doctrine means and compare it clearly with
Chinese Communiam in order to remove the people's doubts
to eradicate intrigue and to prevent in future misinter-
pretations of the Teaching.
The "Three Aspects of Democracy" consist of
Nationalism, Democracy, and Socialism, and are independ-
ent and united. These three principles are badly needed by
China in the present age. We cannot do without any
element of the three; but in spirit they are one and indivi-
sible.
