Chapter 83 <The development of commodity production will inevitably lead to the restoration of capitalism>

During the Cultural Revolution, the Gang of Four and their writing team wantonly attacked and opposed socialist commodity production. They took advantage of certain similarities between socialist commodity production and capitalist commodity production (such as equivalent exchange, and the existence of a gap between use value and value). Contradictions, etc.), draw an analogy between the two.they said: Since capitalism originated from commodity production in history, socialist commodity production must also produce capitalism, and the result will inevitably lead to the restoration of capitalism.

This is a negation of socialist commodity production and a deliberate obliteration of the essential difference between the socialist system and the capitalist system.Economically, the socialist system adheres to the basis of public ownership of the means of production and implements distribution according to work. Politically, it adheres to the four basic principles and severely cracks down on economic crimes committed by some people using commodity production. This ensures the socialist nature of commodity production. . The practice since our country's reform and opening up has also fully proved that only by vigorously developing the socialist commodity economy can we promote the rapid development of socialist construction and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, and create sufficient opportunities for the gradual realization of the common prosperity of all people. Material basis.The fallacy of the Gang of Four negating the socialist commodity economy, logically speaking, is the application of vulgar and erroneous analogical reasoning.

It is only one-sidedly emphasizing some superficial similarities or similarities between things, and obliterating the fundamental difference in nature between two things, two kinds of relations or two kinds of affairs, which is a common feature of all sophistry analogies.
