Abstract

The article analyzes the concept of civilism worked out by V. Nersesyants (from the Lat-in “civis” – a citizen), in which the possibility of a non-capitalistic version of the law devel-opment of Russia (based on equality in freedom) after socialism is substantiated. It is shown that the concept of civilism considered as a new social system that could be formed on the basis of law desocialisation of socialist property, and which guarantees to each citizen an equal share of incomes from the capitalization of the ownership of the whole people, is the result of Hegelian dialectics application to the comprehension of the experience of real socialism. The theoretical possibility of a new form of ownership of the means of production – individual property (but not a private one, which by its nature can only be held by some) – and a new type of law inherent and inalienable right on share in the common's property of all citizens of the country – opens prospects for the formation of civilism as a new social system, representing a dialectical synthesis of capitalism and socialism. It is substantiated that in the current difficult social and economic conditions generated by the non-law privatization of socialist property, the concept of civilism can become a reference point in concluding a «social contract» about property that can create the prerequisites for the legitimation of the postsocialist social system on the universally valid foundation of the justice.
