Abstract:

When Lenin reconsidered socialism in his late years, he put forward some principles concerning how to build up the Party, such as"adapting itself to the masses", "dividing responsibilities between Party and Soviet", and"strengthening the Party's collective leadership and surveillance", reflecting an objective demand of adjusting relations between the Party and its ruled objects owing to the Party's position shift from leading the people to revolution to leading the national reconstruction, as well as an objective need for reinforcing the Party's democratic system.Their inspiration of us is that after the Communist Party becomes a party in power, it must correctly deal with the relationship between the Party's leaership and rule, gradually turning its idea of consolidating to Party's leading position to intensifying its ruling consciousness so as to form a union of the leading Party's subjectivity and the ruling Party's objectivity and a union of its unlimited liability to reform society and its limited liability to adapt itself to social needs.Meanwhile, the Party must correctly deal with the relationship between democracy and centralism to improve its ruling capability on the foundation of enhancing its democratic system.

Key words: Lenin's thought in his late years, ruling consciousness, democratic system
