按照唯物辩证法的观点,自然界的变化,主要地是由于自然界内部矛盾的发展。社会的变化,主要地是由于社会内部矛盾的发展,即生产力和生产关系的矛盾,阶级之间的矛盾,新旧之间的矛盾,由于这些矛盾的发展,推动了社会的前进,推动了新旧社会的代谢。唯物辩证法是否排除外部的原因呢?并不排除。唯物辩证法认为外因是变化的条件,内因是变化的根据,外因通过内因而起作用。鸡蛋因得适当的温度而变化为鸡子,但温度不能使石头变为鸡子,因为二者的根据是不同的。各国人民之间的互相影响是时常存在的。在资本主义时代,特别是在帝国主义和无产阶级革命的时代,各国在政治上、经济上和文化上的互相影响和互相激动,是极其巨大的。十月社会主义革命不只是开创了俄国历史的新纪元,而且开创了世界历史的新纪元,影响到世界各国内部的变化,同样地而且还特别深刻地影响到中国内部的变化,但是这种变化是通过了各国内部和中国内部自己的规律性而起的。两军相争,一胜一败,所以胜败,皆决于内因。

不能把过程中所有的矛盾平均看待,必须把它们区别为主要的和次要的两类,着重于捉住主要的矛盾,已如上述。但是在各种矛盾之中,不论是主要的或次要的,矛盾着的两个方面,又是否可以平均看待呢?也是不可以的。无论什么矛盾,矛盾的诸方面,其发展是不平衡的。有时候似乎势均力敌,然而这只是暂时的和相对的情形,基本的形态则是不平衡。矛盾着的两方面中,必有一方面是主要的,他方面是次要的。其主要的方面,即所谓矛盾起主导作用的方面。事物的性质,主要地是由取得支配地位的矛盾的主要方面所规定的。

When talking of responsibility, XX and XX both have some responsibility, as does XX of the Ministry of Agriculture. But one with the most responsibility is me. Old Ke, does any responsibility rest on you for your invention? [Old Ke said: “yes.”] Was it lighter than mine? Yours is a question of ideology, mine of 10,700,000 tons and ninety million people going into battle. The chaos caused was on a grand scale and I take responsibility. Comrades, you must all analyze your own responsibility. If you have to shit, shit! If you have to fart, fart! You will feel much better for it.
