马克思主义的基本原理告诉我们,矛盾是普遍存在的。所以, 一个和谐的社会,并非是不存在任何矛盾或利益冲突的社会,但一定是重大矛盾能够得到有效化解、各种利益关系比较协调的社会。这是我们党提出构建社会主义和谐社会的重要出发点。利益关系是社会关系的本质。马克思说:“人们奋斗所争取的一切,都同他们的利益有关。”追求利益是人类一切社会活动 The basic principles of Marxism tell us that conflicts are ubiquitous. Therefore, a harmonious society is not a society that does not have any contradictions or conflicts of interest, but it must be a society where major contradictions can be effectively resolved and all kinds of interests are coordinated. This is an important starting point for our party’s proposal of building a harmonious socialist society. Interests are the essence of social relations. Marx said: “Everything people fight for is all about their interests.” The pursuit of benefits is a social activity of all mankind
