»Socialism« as a world process« from its beginning was established, contrary to the postulates of Marxian ideological and heorelical project, primarily in the industrially and economically underdeveloped, pre-capitalistie societies as politically imposed social and economic system. Socialism never gained real legitimacy in relatively developed middle European societies in which it was forceably imported within the context of military and political interest of the super powers while it was being lost in tile countries of the Third World due to the structural inability for adjustment of production of socioe-conomic life in new circumstances.Socialism, as politically imposed socio-economic system, without any real historical perspectives for the prospective civilizational and technological development (as historical cxperince hits shown) cannot be improved because of the static character of its own structure.It is only with radical structural changes in the essence of socialism — the elimination of political monopoly of the ommunisl birocracy and the economic monopoly of slate and quasi-stale (»social«) properly - that it would be possible to create preconditions for a dynamic socio-economic system, capable of accommodating to unpredictable circumstances of developing new informalic post-industrial civilization. Just mentioned changes would, however, mark — in theoretical and practical sense — the transition from socialism to postsocialism.
