Economically, the contradiction between town and country is an
extremely antagonistic one both in capitalist society, where under the rule of
the bourgeoisie the towns ruthlessly plunder the countryside, and in the
Kuomintang areas in China, where under the rule of foreign imperialism and the
Chinese big comprador bourgeoisie the towns most rapaciously plunder the
countryside. But in a socialist country and in our revolutionary base areas,
this antagonistic contradiction has changed into one that is non-antagonistic;
and when communist society is reached it will be abolished.
Lenin said, "Antagonism and contradiction are not at all one
and the same. Under socialism, the first will disappear, the second will
remain." [25] That is to say, antagonism is one form, but not the only form,
of the struggle of opposites; the formula of antagonism cannot be arbitrarily
applied everywhere.
