Research Abstract |
Through historical investigation of socialist thoughts and the Soviet system, this research clarified the following points. (1) The normative core of modern socialism consists of two elements : the pursuit of universal right of existence and universal obligation of labor. (2) Revolutionary currents of socialism made universal labor obligation a primary concern and sought abolition of private property as a source of income. (3) Marxism wrapped the norm of labor obligation in historical inevitability and class struggle. (4) The Soviet system was a society which realized abolition of property income and universal labor obligation. (5) Possibility of socialism as the pursuit of universal right of existence has not been exhausted.
