ABSTRACT

The socialist society under proletarian dictatorship and established through violent revolution is a fundamental negation of the exploitative capitalist system and all exploitative systems. The transition from one societal form to another in human society is impelled by the basic social contradiction, namely, the contradiction between the production relations and the productive forces and between the superstructure and the economic substructure. In the socialist society, the public ownership system of the means of production replaces the private ownership system. Chairman Mao's theory on the basic contradictions in the socialist society is the theoretical basis for the continuous revolution under proletarian dictatorship. "In the socialist society, the basic contradictions are still the contradictions between the production relations and the productive forces, and between the superstructure and the economic basis". The immense capability of the socialist superstructure is manifested mainly in the leadership of the proletarian political party.
