  1. “Right-wing” socialism-a short designation(definition) of two socio-historical phenomena: 1) “right socialism” as a set of types of ideology and internal policy of social democracy,i.e.,a socio-political trend(including in the workers ' and communist international movement) that openly and covertly expresses sympathies for private property and the capitalist mode of production in general.In bourgeois countries, it appears in the form of social-reformism,social-chauvinism, etc., and movements of conservatism and social-treachery that are being renewed from time to time;

    2) the state structure,where along with the planned principles of organizing production on a national scale,commodity-money relations inherent in capitalism are used,as a result of which society acquires the character of eclectic,torn by contradictions between the need for a plan and the impossibility(unwillingness) of renouncing the domination of abstract(socially necessary)labor over concrete(individual).

    Soviet society, from this point of view,was in some respects “right-wing socialism”, and the policy of certain groups of the ruling party(CPSU), at certain moments, manifested itself as right-wing socialism.That is why we do not know the representatives of late revolutionary communism in the USSR,as Karl Marx and Fr.Engels.
