The Importance of Studying Contradictions in a Process

Lenin said that the most essential thing in Marxism is the concrete analysis of concrete conditions. Mao said that in studying a problem, we must shun subjectivity, one-sidedness, and superficiality. In short, you must study both aspects of any given contradiction with equal depth and rigor to develop an effective method. If people do not pay attention to the stages in the process of development of a thing, they cannot deal with its contradictions properly.
