Party-Guided Proletarian Dictatorship (Re-Established)

Though at first a conventional socialist proletarian democracy with strong loyalty to the Nekomimi Communist Party, due to reactionary threats and attempts to manipulate the government away from socialism, The Proletarian Dictatorship of Nekomimea developed an unconventional system of government deemed necessary until counter-revolution has been sufficiently curbed.
The government of Nekomimea is structured in what the NCP describes as Party-Guided Proletarian Dictatorship. Power is held by the Party, that appoints its members to government offices and dictates policy in accordance with the Democratic Centralist Mass Line, whereupon the wishes of the masses are collected through surveying and meetings, then compiled and refined by the party leadership (that is elected by the party base) who interpret the popular will through a communist lens and reject reactionary tendencies while formulating policy to attend to the needs of the people and advance the long term goals of the revolution. After thorough debating by the elected leadership and a final voting, all party members are bound to follow the decision.
New members of the party are selected by the recruitment organs of the party from individuals deemed both loyal to the revolution and active and experienced in advancing its goals, from helping build up the local community to helping with the supression of counter-revolutionaries to being active in the mass line meetings and giving good feedback. Ideological correctness, party discipline and political training and skill are either expected beforehand from or taught to initiates depending on the specific case. Member's backgrounds are thoroughly studied to root out infiltrators and the party reserves the right to purge traitors within the party who turned counter-revolutionary later.
This system is often described as authoritarian and undemocratic by detractors. While the NCP agrees that it is authoritarian, it denies it to be undemocratic, except for the disenfranchisement of the bourgeoisie and reactionaries. It argues to be much closer to democracy with the will of the people informing policy directly, while as they describe it representative democracy gives power to individuals to govern as they see fit and not be directly bound to collective decision making. Further it argues that the NCP is a large mass party with members drawn from activists and community leaders and not a small clique of oligarchs. However it claims that as socialism develops and reactionaries are rooted out the masses will take more and more responsibility for themselves and make the party obsolete.
