Society, however, is also the sphere in which subordinate social forces may organize their opposition, struggle for power, and construct an alternative hegemony -a counter-hegemony. The right column of 7.1 points to a possible counter-hegemony. When the CCP is challenged or perceives that it s being challenged by different actors within a possible counter-hegemony it tends to use coercive measures against these actors. It is at this juncture that the CCP departs from all political organizations in the liberal-democratic world where political pluralism is norm. The CCP does not allow a counter-hegemony to develop and grow. To achieve that goal through coercive measures is not always effective and, indeed, is often counterproductive as a result of changing socioeconomic environments. Therefore, while not surrendering the option to use coercive measures at any point in time, the CCP actively engages and transforms social forces by accommodating them. The political process of CCP politics is thus increasingly becoming open.
