The Transformation Logic And Solution Path Of The Principal Social Contradiction In The New Era

Contradiction exists in all things,and runs through the whole process of the development of things.Human society is also full of contradictions in its development process.The principal contradiction is the one that is at the core and plays a dominant role.It is a specific category that marks the historical orientation of social development,reveals the basic national conditions of the country,and reflects the development level of productive forces.It is also the realistic starting point and theoretical basis for the party and the government to formulate major policies.Looking back at history,it is not difficult to find that the scientific locating of the historical position is the premise of correctly understanding the principal social contradiction,and the correct judgment of the principal social contradiction is the “golden key” to understand the stage of social development.With the movement of things and the change of the stage,the principal social contradiction will also change.Since the founding of the PRC in 1949,the principal contradictions of our society have been constantly adjusted and transformed with the development and progress of the economy and society.In the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2017,it is proposed that as socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era,the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has been transformed into the one,which is between the people’s growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development.This historic transformation of the principal social contradiction is the condensing and generalization of the new changes,new characteristics and new connotations of our country’s basic national conditions.Understanding and resolving the new contradictions has become a new task for us in the new era.It has been more than 170 years since the Marxist theory of social contradiction was put forward.This theory has been continuously developed and improved in practice,and it is the theoretical basis for us to understand and research the changes of the principal social contradictions.Based on the new era,under the guidance of this theory,and on the basis of summarizing domestic and foreign and historical experience and lessons,the Communist Party of China has started the process of exploring socialist social contradictions.Based on the new era,guided by the materialist dialectics of Marxism,with dialectical materialism and historical materialism as the methodological basis,this paper discusses the evolution process and transformation logic of the principal social contradiction since the founding of New China,as well as the new theoretical and practical requirements brought by it.Systematic research on such issues will help deepen the understanding of my country’s basic national conditions and the principal social contradictions in the new era at this stage,and will also help promote the benign interaction between the anchoring of historical orientation and the grasping of the principal social contradictions.Paths have significant meaning and value.The transformation of the principal contradiction in society in the new era is a phased transformation of the principal contradiction in the primary stage of socialism.Its historical logic lies in the fact that the new principal contradiction is transformed from the old principal contradiction.The two have an abstract consistency in nature.The trajectory not only reflects the inheritance of history,but also has the distinctive characteristics of the new era.From the practical point of view,the transformation of the principal contradiction reflects the overall improvement of my country’s productivity level and people’s living standards,but there are still problems and shortcomings in the current development,which are prominently reflected in the overall level of the demand side and the supply side.Unbalanced,social production is subject to the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development,and it cannot meet the needs of the people for a better life that is constantly expanding and upgrading.In the new era,people,as the target of "needs",are the main body of the needs of a better life.Improving social production and supply capacity is the key to resolving the principal contradiction.Therefore,the essence of the principal social contradiction in the new era is still the relationship between human needs and social production.contradiction between.The 19 th National Congress pointed out that the principal contradiction has changed,but also emphasized that the basic national conditions and international status of the new era have not changed,which reflects the objective reality of my country’s economic and social development,and has a profound understanding and grasp of the dialectical unity of "change" and "unchanged".Relationships help to better understand and grasp the transformation logic and essence of the principal contradictions in society in the new era."Better life" as the goal of struggle is the proper meaning of realizing the great Chinese dream of rejuvenation.The proposition of "needs for a better life" in the new era has certain historical inevitability.From the perspective of theoretical sources,the theory of human needs and the theory of all-round development of human beings in the Marxist historical materialism are its direct theoretical sources.The conception of a better life in our traditional culture,and the idea of a better life in Western culture is criticized and sublated.From a practical point of view,the evolution of the concept of a better life since the founding of New China,the transformation of the principal social contradictions,and the development of people’s subjective needs have jointly constituted the realistic context of the "need for a better life" in the new era.In terms of connotation,the "need for a better life" in the new era is a multi-dimensional three-dimensional state,a higher-level holistic need covering various fields based on historical accumulation,and reflects the Chinese people’s ideal life in the new era.The value pursuit of state,its ultimate direction is the free and comprehensive development of human beings and the liberation of all mankind.The realization of a better life is a gradual and long-term historical process.While giving it the character of the times,it should also be based on the actual national conditions and rationally guide people’s needs with the correct value orientation.Society is progressing by constantly resolving contradictions,and resolving major social contradictions is the main task of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics in the new era.The existence of the "unbalanced and insufficient"problem of my country’s development is the result of the interaction and mutual influence of various factors such as natural environment,history,system,and policy,and is a phased feature in the process of advancing socialism with Chinese characteristics.The current "unbalanced" development in my country is mainly manifested in regional,urban-rural,structural,and distributional imbalances,as well as unbalanced human development.Aspects are often intertwined and superimposed.To solve the principal contradiction,we should grasp the fundamental problem of development,and start from the two aspects of the contradiction.On the one hand,we should base ourselves on the objective reality of the current domestic and international situation,meet the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life,and adhere to the new development concept.Promote high-quality development as the theme,take reform and innovation as the fundamental driving force,deepen the supply-side structural reform,accelerate the construction of a modern economic system,build a new development pattern,promote high-quality development in all fields based on the economy,and improve the overall supply capacity On the other hand,it is necessary to dynamically grasp the contemporary connotation and realistic characteristics of people’s "needs for a better life" in the process of development,to lead development with needs,to realize a better life in the process of development,and to make The realization of a better life for the people and the modernization of socialism with Chinese characteristics resonate at the same frequency,gradually approach the communist ideal in the continuous realization of the staged development goals,and finally realize the free and all-round development of human beings.Finally,in the process of resolving conflicts,it is also necessary to pay attention to and strengthen demand-side management,give full play to the role of socialist core values in cultural guidance and value shaping of the "need for a better life",and guide the people to correctly define the "need for a better life" from the reality of the historical stage.A better life" and rationally pursue their own "needs",making human development the most powerful source of strength for realizing the Chinese Dream.
