 The Nationality Question and National Democratic Programme
A thesis that vertically integrates a 'nationality question' with a 'national democratic programme' along the line of a 'nation-state' should exhibit a higher degree of familiarity with the civility and good neighbourliness amongst the nationalities, and be very sensitive to the emotions (both natural and synthetic) that connect them.
Conclusively a thesis prescribing a 'chosen' 'national democratic programme' owned by, for example, the UPC to propel the social, cultural, economic advances, one would argue, injures the party's effort to operationalise qualitative politics.
Such programme may be UPC driven but cannot be its exclusive programme, if it were, it would not be a 'national democratic programme'.

 Peloponnesian War - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The democratic states of the Peloponnese were driven, partly by the intrigues of Alcibiades, now anti-Laconian, into alliance with Athens, with the object of establishing a democratic Peloponnese under the leadership of Argos.
On the other hand, a democratic rising in Samos prevented the rebellion of that island, which for the remainder of the war was invaluable to Athens as a stronghold lying between the two great centres of the struggle.
After the news of the Sicilian disaster Athens was compelled at last to draw on the reserve of 1000 talents which had lain untouched in the treasury.' The revolt of the Ionian allies, and (in 411) the loss of the Hellespontine, Thracian and Island tributes (see Delian League), very seriously crippled her finances.

 Democratic Dialogue: Social Exclusion, Social Inclusion (Report No. 2)
Social democratic parties in the UK and elsewhere in Europe are having great difficulty putting together a credible programme to deal with the contemporary manifestations of poverty and inequality.
Debate is thus the key, and the programme should be elaborated and delivered in a manner consonant with the emphasis on stakeholding.
That is to say, they are defined by the involvement of citizens (parents) who have chosen to be their 'consumers', though with a right to withdraw and go elsewhere, and enjoying - eventually - public financial support, in return for inspection and meeting adequate educational standards.

 AsiaMedia :: JAPAN: Lawmakers in trouble over 'edited' TV programme
The television programme in question was about a mock tribunal organised by civic groups which found the government guilty of allowing the military to force thousands of Asian women to become so-called 'comfort women' to provide sexual services to front-line troops in the last war.
In the programme, eventually aired in January 2001, the emperor's role was not mentioned and three minutes' worth of interviews with former comfort women were lopped off.
Yesterday, Mr Satoru Nagai, the NHK chief producer then in charge of the programme, who blew the whistle on his bosses last month, told a press conference that he was sure the edits were due to political interference.

 Is the Socialist Alliance a step forward?
The Socialist Alliances were initiated by the Socialist Party on the basis of a similar programme, but after this set off a process in Scotland which culminated in the effective loss of their entire Scottish membership, they are understandably a little wary of developments in England and Wales and have less involvement.
It is unfortunately common practice for those claiming to be revolutionary to hold their own private programme, but advocate the building of larger organisations around a reformist programme or at best one which glosses over the differences between reform and revolution.
When it was developing around a tentative and confused left-social democratic programme, our comrades joined the SLP in order to fight for the adoption of a revolutionary programme and an organisational structure that would allow that struggle to take place.

 Vladimir Lenin
Then the Socialists, by their programme of a democratic peace, supported a deep-going bourgeois-democratic movement of the masses (for the overthrow of Napoleon III and the unification of Germany), which had been manifesting itself for decades.
Now, with their programme of a democratic peace on the basis of bourgeois relations the Socialists are helping the deception of the people by the bourgeoisie, whose aim is to divert the proletariat from the socialist revolution.
Our "peace programme" demands that the principal democratic point on this question—the repudiation of annexations—should be applied in practice and not in words, that it should serve to promote the propaganda of internationalism, not of national hypocrisy.

 Critique of the Gotha Programme
But by drawing up a programme of principles (instead of postponing this until it has been prepared for by a considerable period of common activity) one sets up before the whole world landmarks by which it measures the level of the Party movement.
But the whole programme, for all its democratic clang, is tainted through and through by the Lassallean sect's servile belief in the state, or, what is no better, by a democratic belief in miracles, or rather it is a compromise between these two kinds of belief in miracles, both equally remote from socialism.
And since he cared at least as much for the basic democratic demands he thought he understood as for the economic principles he did not clearly understand, he was surely honest when he thought he had concluded a brilliant deal by bartering democratic staples for Lassallean dogmas.

The peace programme of the Socialists of that epoch took this progressive bourgeois result into account and advocated support for the democratic bourgeoisie, urging: no plunder of France; an honourable peace with the republic.
That war accelerated development in a democratic bourgeois-progressive direction: it resulted in the overthrow of Napoleon III and in the unification of Germany.
Whoever promises the nations a “democratic” peace without at the same time preaching the socialist revolution, or while repudiating the struggle for it—the struggle which must be carried on now, during the war—is deceiving the proletariat.

The four men were agreed that a programme of agrarian reform, even a limited one, would guarantee a real mobilisation of the peasants, which was the condition for real military effectiveness – and that a divisional commander could try to play such a role.
The two others which are known – that of the former student, Wang Qangyao in Shantung, and that of the worker, Chen Zhungxi, who became chief of the peasant guerilla force in Changsha [18] – arose independently of the activity of Chen Duxiu.
The latter, moreover, was soon to experience a second setback in his attempt to form a ‘bloc’ with the parties known as ‘democratic’, the ‘third party’ and the alliance for salvation.
