What is the content, structure and significance of the theory of social basic contradiction?


After Stalin's death and the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, many new situations in the Soviet Union prompted the Communists of all countries to seriously consider some deep-seated problems in socialist society; some new problems in China after the establishment of the socialist system, At the same time, it is urgent for the Chinese Communists represented by Mao Zedong to continue to probe deeply into the basic problems related to the socialist society. The first fundamental problem is whether there are contradictions in the socialist society? If so, what kind of contradictions are there? How to solve these contradictions?
The historical materialism founded by Marx and Engels reveals the objective law of the development of human society, It is regarded as the basic contradictions of capitalist society and all kinds of social forms before it. Whether these contradictions still exist in socialist society, no one has given a correct answer in the decades after Marx and Engels
Lenin once made the following remarks on Bukharin's assertion that "capitalism is an antagonistic and contradictory system": confrontation and contradiction are not the same thing at all. In socialist society, confrontation will disappear and contradictions will still exist. It is a pity that Lenin died prematurely, and he was not satisfied with the problem of contradictions in socialist society, Stalin denied that there were still contradictions in Socialist Society for a long time after he announced that the Soviet Union had built socialism in 1936. It was only two years before his death, that is, 1952, that he reluctantly admitted that if it was not done well, he would not be able, There will also be conflicts between production relations and productive forces in socialist society. However, he still does not regard the contradiction between production relations and productive forces as the basic contradiction of socialist society
On the basis of reviewing the positive and negative historical experience of the first socialist country of the Soviet Union and summarizing China's own practical experience in socialist construction, Mao Zedong inherited and developed Lenin's thought that socialist social contradictions will still exist, and thoroughly applied the opposite unity law of Marxist philosophy to socialist society, For the first time, it systematically expounds the basic contradictions of socialist society
In April 1956, Mao Zedong wrote such a passage for "the historical experience of the dictatorship of the proletariat": there are some naive ideas that seem to think that there will be no more contradictions in socialist society. To deny the existence of contradictions is to deny dialectics. The nature of contradictions in different societies is different, and the ways to solve them are different, However, social development is always carried out in constant contradictions. The development of socialist society is also carried out in the contradiction between productive forces and production relations. In socialist society and Communist society, the phenomenon of technological innovation and social system innovation will inevitably continue to occur. Otherwise, social development will stop and society will not be able to move forward, In his speeches on many occasions, Mao Zedong repeatedly said that there are still contradictions in socialist society, and we should attach great importance to this problem
In February 1957, Mao Zedong made a complete and systematic exposition of the basic contradictions of socialist society in his speech on Correctly Handling Contradictions among the people
Mao Zedong believed that the law of unity of opposites is the fundamental law of the universe. This law is universal in nature, human society and people's thinking. However, for many people, it is one thing to recognize this law, and it is another thing to apply this law to observe and deal with problems. Many people do not recognize that there are contradictions in socialist society, In this way, it is necessary for our people, first and foremost among cadres, to guide people to understand the contradictions in socialist society and to know how to deal with them in a correct way
The main contents of Mao Zedong's theory on the basic contradictions of socialist society are as follows:
First, in socialist society, the basic contradiction is still the contradiction between production relations and productive forces, and the contradiction between superstructure and economic base
Second, the basic contradiction of socialist society is not antagonistic. It is fundamentally different from the contradiction of relations of production and productive forces, superstructure and economic base in capitalist society and other old societies. The contradiction of capitalist society is manifested in fierce confrontation and conflict, and in fierce class struggle. The contradiction of socialist society is another matter, It is not a confrontational contradiction
Third, the basic contradictions of socialist society present the characteristics of both adaptation and contradiction. Although the socialist relations of production have been established in our country, they are adapted to the development of productive forces; however, they are still far from perfect, These imperfect aspects are contradictory to the development of productive forces. In addition to the situation that the relations of production and the development of productive forces are compatible and contradictory, there are also the situation that the superstructure and the economic base are compatible and contradictory. We must solve the above contradictions according to the specific conditions. However, after solving these contradictions, new problems and contradictions will arise, It is the opposite of the contradiction, which is unified and struggling, that drives the movement and change of things
Fourth, the basic contradictions of socialist society can be solved continuously through the socialist system itself. Since the basic contradictions of socialist society are fundamentally different from those of capitalist society in nature, the ways and means to solve them are fundamentally different. The basic contradictions of capitalist society cannot be solved by the capitalist system itself, Only the socialist revolution can solve it. The basic contradictions of socialist society can be completely solved within the framework of the socialist system, by adjusting and improving the aspects that the relations of production are incompatible with the productive forces and the superstructure with the economic base, To consolidate and improve the socialist system is the essence of the superiority and vitality of the socialist system
Mao Zedong's exposition on the basic contradictions of socialist society and their nature, characteristics and solutions breaks through the metaphysical viewpoint of denying the existence of contradictions in socialist society, which has been popular for a long time in the international communist movement. It is the first time that Mao Zedong scientifically reveals the driving force of the development of socialist society and provides a philosophical basis for the later socialist reform



Connecting with practice, this paper explains the promoting role of the principle of social basic contradiction in social development

If there is a contradiction, it must be solved. If the contradiction is solved, it is social progress
For example, the current financial crisis, that is because there are problems in the current financial mechanism, the crisis also let people see or pay attention to this mechanism, after solving this contradiction, they can walk out of the crisis, and they may not make such mistakes in the future. Is this progress

First, the meaning of basic social contradictions. Basic social contradictions refer to the contradictions between productive forces and production relations, economic base and superstructure. These two pairs of contradictions run through the whole human society. Second, the movement of basic social contradictions promotes the development of human society, Productive forces are the basis of social existence and development. When productive forces develop to a certain extent, they will conflict with productive relations, which will lead to the change of productive relations sooner or later, The whole superstructure will change quickly or slowly, and the society will develop from one form or system to another. It can be seen that the basic social contradictions are the most fundamental driving force for the development of human society. Third, the characteristics of the basic contradictions of socialist society. First, it is established by the proletariat seizing power and then using the leverage of power, The dominant productive relations in socialist society are those of public ownership. Thirdly, its productive forces and productive relations, economic base and superstructure are basically compatible, thus liberating productive forces and making great progress and development in society. However, there are also contradictions between productive forces and productive relations, economic base and superstructure, It can be solved by the self perfection of the socialist system



The philosophical connotation and practical significance of the scientific outlook on Development


The Third Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward "adhere to people-oriented, establish a comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development model, promote the all-round development of economy, society and people", emphasizing "according to the unified urban and rural development, regional development, economic and social development, harmonious development of human and nature, domestic development and foreign development"
