It is my understanding that class conflict is seen as the primary contradiction at least in this epoch of history. My question is, what are the new contradictions that formed under socialism thus far and what would be the theorized contradictions under communism? What was the primary contradiction during primitive communism? Or perhaps my questions show a fundamental misunderstanding, which if so I would like corrected. Thank you!

The main focus of study of communists is not “communism,” but the current historical conditions of our times.

And this completely pisses off and desorient all manners of liberals and utopian socialists, who rather would fantasize about their ideal world without sudying the current one. And of course anarchists who don't study neither.
