The paper investigates the role of the avant-gardism in a capitalist society in the works of philosophers, especially M. A. Lifshitz and M. Cantor. The purpose of the paper is the comparison of the positions of these authors, to reveal their criticism of modernism historical and ideological component. The paper also addresses the problem of estrangement in the sphere of influence of culture in the reflection of the philosophical works of the 20th – early 21st centuries. Modern culture is the result of the degeneration of this estrangement, the cause of the alienation of labor. One of the manifestations of this degeneration has become the avant-garde, which has evolved from a "non-threatening rebellion" to the profitable business. The paper also addresses the problem of the correlation between fascism and avant-garde. Basic research methods in the paper are the historical-genetic and historical-comparative methods. Comparison of the critical positions of M. A. Lifshitz and M. Cantor shows that the main reason for the differences in their views is a different understanding of the world historical process. This difference reflects the ideological and social differences between the Soviet and post-Soviet humanitarian intelligentsia.
