Important argument
December 24-26, 1959
Mao Zedong read the Chapter 26 of the “Textbook of Political Economy” “The Law of Planned and Proportional Development of the National Economy” and Chapter 27 “Social Labor under the Socialist System.” The law of increasing labor productivity.” When talking about “the characteristic of socialism is planning”, he pointed out: In a capitalist society, the balance of the national economy is achieved through crises. In a socialist society, it is possible to achieve balance through planning. However, it cannot be denied that there must be a process in our understanding of the necessary proportions. It cannot be considered that there is no spontaneity and flow in a socialist society. Freedom is the knowledge of necessity and the successful transformation of the objective world based on the knowledge of necessity. This must not be able to see through at a glance. There is no born saint in the world. In a socialist society, there is still no “foresight”. Taking our own experience as an example, we didn’t know how to engage in socialism at the beginning, but gradually gained understanding in practice. If you know some, you can’t say that you know enough. If you know enough, then nothing can be done. To keep the ratio often is because there is often an imbalance. Because it is out of proportion, the task of proportion is proposed. Balanced and unbalanced, proportional and not proportional, this kind of contradiction is frequent and always exist. Since the contradiction between proportionality and non-proportionality, balance and imbalance will always exist, this tells us that we should not be satisfied at any time. At any time, new problems will be raised to ask us to solve.
He believes that the development of things advances in waves, and points out: The development of anything is not a straight line, but a spiral rise, that is, a wave-like development. The development of things is always unbalanced, so there is a demand for balance. The contradiction between balance and imbalance exists in every aspect, every department, and every link in every department. It is constantly produced, and the continuous solution plan is often revised, because new imbalances have emerged. These conversations are compiled into the eighth volume of “The Collected Works of Mao Zedong”.
