socialism as one of the steps on the road to communism considered ideologists of the communist movement at the dawn of its origin, in the distant × I X century.It was assumed that socialism as one of the socio-economic systems will be two phases: a socialism, and its highest form - developed socialism.The embodiment of this theory into practice was conducted in the USSR in the life and development of the Soviet state.There were also a country of the European socialist bloc, but their leaders did not set out such tasks.
Historical background
The fact that the Soviet Union developed socialism comes, citizens learned in 1967 when was celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the October Revolution.This term is sounded in a solemn congratulatory speech Leonid Brezhnev.At the same time the concept was formulated and developed socialism - a number of theoretical propositions, as it is quite specific confirmation in reality.What kind of situation?
Theoretical substantiation
- First of all, according to the authors of the concept, the Soviet Union had created the necessary material and technical basis."Industrial society" - it was customary to speak of Soviet people.Socio-economic situation of the people improved, prosperity grew, increased ability to meet the material and spiritual needs and demands of society as a whole and its individual members.
- believed that the seventies Soviet society is a single cohesive mass in which there can not be any conflicts, which also supports the view - yes, developed socialism underway sweeping the country.Even the national question, from time to time sharpens on the outskirts of the country considered, in principle, been clarified and regulated - because under socialism there can be conflicts of ethnicity!
- Constitution of developed socialism was supposed to reflect the advancement of citizens to consolidate their basic rights and responsibilities.
- The concept of development of socialism and was part of a broad ideological work.The role of labor discipline and awareness, scientific and technical progress, growth and expansion of many forms and areas of production, capital efficiency.There is the well-being of the people.
- Developed socialism suggests such changes in the economic and production process, as the division of the whole sphere of manufactured products into two types - the production of means of production and the production of consumer goods.The very production base to be re-equipped in compliance with the new requirements of scientific and technological discoveries and achievements.
- to developed socialism was characteristic of the new agricultural policy.The Soviet Union - the country, not only industry, but also agriculture, agrarian.Because the concept of the authors pointed out that the need to strengthen the collective and state farms, strongly contribute to the progress of agriculture, a policy of modernization of the village.What has been achieved in this area, says great progress, but we need to be more active, decisive, focused, then the effect will be more noticeable and significant.
- construction of developed socialism is impossible without a fundamentally new way of life, standing on the updated positions are more appropriate historical moment.Industrial sphere should be directed to the full satisfaction of material needs and demands of its citizens.Do not be left without solving the spiritual and moral needs of the people, the formation of high spirituality and morality, a free, comprehensive, harmonious development of every member of society.These components are required for the formation of the developed socialism, but that has not yet been fulfilled, realized, was embodied in the shortest possible time.
results
Unfortunately, the reality of building a society of developed socialism has not happened.Reality sometimes diametrically at odds with the theory.Because successor LIBrezhnev YVAndropov already in 1982 declared that the developed socialism will improve, but the process is long, and it will take a long historical period.As history has shown, the theory was wrong, and instead developed socialism and communism, Russia received a "wild capitalism" dashing 90-ies, and then pseudo-society of today.Because the period of occurrence of the term "developed socialism" to him can be regarded as a future reality.Now it is - an obvious utopia!
