Mao challenged the idea that economic planning would dissolve conflicts of interest among the people. He saw it dialectically - conflicts between intellectuals and manual workers, between the city and the countryside, stratification in the party and society. He said it was necessary to struggle to overcome these differences whether it takes 100 or 500 years.
