ABSTRACT

V. I. Lenin refuted the various fallacies of Trotsky and Bukharin, and in defining the relationship between politics and economics, he pointed out: "Politics is a concentrated manifestation of economics." He also pointed out that by advancing the fallacy that politics and economics are equally important, Bukharin was "using eclecticism to replace the dialectical relationship between politics and economics." During the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, Chairman Mao has put forward the great guiding principle of "grasping revolution and promoting production." Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and their group of renegades have completely forsaken the communist revolutionary spirit promoted by Lenin. They have instituted on a large scale in the Soviet Union a "new economic system" with "material incentives" and "profit" as the core, and they have changed human relations into capitalist cash relations based on buying and selling.
