本文依据马克思主义关于统一战线的理论,结合新时期我国社会主义革命与建设的实践,论述了新时期民主党派的性质,阐述了在新的历史时期里,民主党派在国家政治生活、两个文明建设、同海外“三胞”的联系及自我教育中的作用,说明在新的历史时期,把民主党派视为异己政治力量,轻视民主党派作用的认识是错误的。 Based on the theory of Marxism on the united front and the practice of socialist revolution and construction in our country in the new era, this paper expounds the nature of the democratic parties in the new period and elaborates the necessity of democratic parties in the political life and the two civilizations in the new historical period. The connection between construction, overseas “three sisters” and self-education shows that in the new historical period, it is wrong to regard the democratic parties as alien political forces and underestimate the role of the democratic parties.
