New Manifestations and Trends of Contemporary Capitalisms Basic Contradiction

Since the Manifesto of the Communist Party came out,the capitalism has changed a lot in the 160 years.The international Soviet Union which the revolutionary teachers predicted didnt appear,and the huge changes in Soviet Union and East Europe oc- curred.The reason for all these is that we used to take the capitalism and market economy as the same thing,mistake the features of market economy for the manifestation of capitalisms basic contradiction,and result in the misapprehension of capitalism accordingly. Since the naissance of capitalism,it has experienced the stage of free capitalism,private monopoly capitalism,national monopoly cap- italism,and has reached the stage of international monopoly capitalism,which has some new features in aspects of productive forces, production relation and superstructure.The new changes of capitalism is challenging the contemporary socialism,and urges people to make innovation in socialism theory,as well as the conversion in the model and strategy of development.In spite of the adjustment and transformation,the essence of capitalism never changes,and therefore the basic contradiction and other derivative contradictions exist all the time.The basic contradiction of contemporary capitalism manifests itself in the contradiction between center and periph- ery,the contradiction between human and nature,the contradiction between man and society.These contradictions have become more and more severe,and brought international fluctuations and crises,and finally,capitalism will be converted into socialism in many ways.
