当代世界主要矛盾和基本走向

The Principal Contradictions and Basic Trend of Contemporary World

当代世界的两个主要矛盾仍然是帝国主义与第三世界的矛盾和资本主义与社会主义的矛盾。在两个主要矛盾中,西方掌握着历史主动权和居于矛盾的主导地位。然而事情正在起变化。矛盾双方的地位和力量对比在变化,西方占据的主导地位和历史主动权,正在开始连根朽烂和被撼动。第三世界依据新的条件团结和斗争,并萌生社会主义的要求。在苏联解体以来的世界社会主义低潮中,旧制度的复辟和严重曲折成为人民的历史教科书,正在促使社会主义向着更加健康的方向发展。无论经过怎样的复辟和曲折,世界应该成为、正在成为而且注定成为人民自己的世界。

The two principal contradictions of contemporary world are the contradictions between imperialism and the third world, and capitalism and socialism. In these two principal contradictions, the western countries play a leading role up to now. But the situation is changing. The status and strength of both sides are changing, that is to say, the dominant status and leading role of the West is rotting from the root and become unstable. The Third World unites and fights together according to the new situation and the socialist tendency emerges. During the low tide of the world socialism since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the restoration of the old system and difficulties of the cause of socialism have taught people good lessons to be incorporated in historical textbooks and impelled socialism to develop towards a healthier direction. Despite the various kinds of restorations and complications, the world should be, is becoming and is doomed to be a world of the people themselves.
