Explain The Three Conceptions Of Democracy

The three conceptions of democracy are: liberal democracy, social democracy and people’s democracy.
 Liberal democracy tries to protect people’s liberty and rights. For that reason, the majority needs to be limited, so that they won’t take away the minorities’ right and liberties.
Many Western countries have used this approach. Switzerland is considered a liberal democracy. The liberal democracy was established after the Swiss revolution of 1848. The outcome of liberal democracy in this country was good. This country has a very strong economy; it has one of the highest incomes per capita in the world. They also have a 100 percent literacy rate and a life expectancy of more than 80 years (Mueller).

This conception of democracy also thinks that the capitalists need to be removed from power and then a temporary dictatorship should be established in order to prepare people for the communist future. A Communist Party is vital for the protection of the working class. The Soviet Union followed the people’s democracy. In 1918, the All-Russian Communist Party was created.

The Soviet Union slowly disappeared after Gorbachev tried to democratize the political system ("Communist Party of the Soviet Union"). By 1991, the Soviet Union had reached its end; it disintegrated into fifteen different countries. For a lot of people, this meant the triumph of the capitalism over the communism ("The Fall of the Soviet
