| The '''New Democracy (Chinese: 新民主主义; Pinyin:Xīn mínzhǔ zhǔyì)''' is a [[Revolution|revolutionary]] form of [[State|government]] developed by [[Mao Zedong]], based on the alliance of 4 [[Progressivism|progressive]] [[Social class|classes]] (the [[proletariat]] as the ideological core, the [[peasantry]], the urban [[petty bourgeoisie]] and the [[national bourgeoisie]]) in [[semi-feudal]] and [[semi-colonial]] countries. The goal of New Democracy is to advance to the [[dictatorship of the proletariat]] through the dictatorship of the 4 classes or the [[Dictatorship of the proletariat#People's Democratic Dictatorship|people's democratic dictatorship]]. As most countries that need New Democracy are [[Agriculture|agricultural]] countries, the peasantry is the engine of this type of revolution.<ref>{{Citation|author=Mao Zedong|year=1993|title=The New Democratic Revolution|chapter=Tasks of the Chinese Revolution|page=48|publisher=The Umut Publishing|trans-title=Yeni Demokratik Devrim|trans-lang=Turkish}}</ref>

| == Chinese Revolution ==

| China was a semi-feudal country. The [[Communist Party of China]] realized that the main power of the reactionary government was concentrated in the cities but weak in the countryside. There was exploitation of peasants by landlords. So one of the goals of the revolution was a [[land reform]]. For these reasons and due to the [[Shanghai Massacre]], the communists withdrew to the countryside.

| China was a semi-colonial country. So one of the goals of the revolution was to achieve independence. The national bourgeoisie was one of the classes that supported this goal, as it was backward in competition with the [[comprador bourgeoisie]] and imperialist monopolies. However, the national bourgeoisie is a class with a dual character, lacking the courage to stand against imperialism and feudalism as a whole.<ref>{{Citation|author=Mao Zedong|year=1993|title=The New Democratic Revolution|chapter=Driving forces of the Chinese Revolution|section=b) Bourgeoisie|page=51|publisher=The Umut Publishing|trans-title=Yeni Demokratik Devrim|trans-lang=Turkish}}</ref>
