It is my understanding that class conflict is seen as the primary contradiction at least in this epoch of history. My question is, what are the new contradictions that formed under socialism thus far and what would be the theorized contradictions under communism? What was the primary contradiction during primitive communism? Or perhaps my questions show a fundamental misunderstanding, which if so I would like corrected. Thank you!
I too am interested in this question. As someone who hasn’t studied the academic work on this topic, I can only venture initial hypotheses based on my understanding of dialectics and the world. I imagine there are many contradictions that we can find today that exist and have not yet been solved by anyone.
One that’s on my mind is the production-consumption-waste contraduction: production produces waste, consumption produces waste, waste inhibits production, waste inhibits consumption, waste increases demand for production, waste increases demand for consumption.
