Chinese Analyses of Soviet Failure: The Dictatorship of the Proletariat

#2  At a purely organizational level, China needs some breakthrough ideas, though in what order is anyone's guess.

The first idea is the low level, gradual introduction of voting at the local level. This will demonstrate far greater efficiency than a local leader guessing what would be the best course of action. This is spontaneously happening right now, because even an uneducated peasant can see how it produces far better and more satisfying results.

The second is to split the communist party into two political parties, with the idea of *intellectual* competitiveness to produce the best result. By limiting it to two political parties, to a great extent radicalism is pushed to being a marginal problem, and the government is continually working to find better ways to perform its functions.

The third idea is to recognize that while China is a country, it is also a confederation of provinces, each of which have their own prerogatives, and far too often, these prerogatives are inimical to those of the central government.

Right now, the provincial governments often just refuse to enforce the central governments laws. And this has become a severe irritant to the people. To a great extent they support the central government, and want it to force the provinces to respect the law.
