Марксизъм и ленинизъм
Marxism and Leninism

Summary/Abstract: This article is connected to the discussion, begun in the first issue of Philosophical Alternatives, on the nature of official „Marxism“ and the interpretation of its perspective on „socialism“ and the „transition“. The author discusses the paradigm (launched at the start of the transition) of „bourgeois revolution, state capitalism, group property“, which is an alternative to the official paradigm of „socialist revolution, socialism, public property“. Answers are given to the main questions raised in the introductory article. It is indicated where the arguments relevant to those answers may be found in the author’s works. The author discusses the role played by Lenin's paradigm of „socialist revolution, socialism, public property“ in world science after 1929. The author has also considered the hypertrophied emphasis on the discontinuity of historical development, and ignorance of its continuity aspect, which resulted from the predominance of Lenin’s paradigm. The article makes an „inventory“ of Bulgarian authors who, after 10.11.1989, have tried to go beyond the official ideology and, in their research, have revealed the aspect of continuity in Bulgarian history.
