Socialism and capitalism in the context of social justice: debate aspects

The problem of social equality (inequality), social justice has long been the subject of scientific and journalistic works. This problem was especially actively discussed at a turning point in the history of our country, namely when the collapse of the USSR occurred (the turn of 1991). At the same time, the world socialist system ceased to exist, while one of the most important principles of the socialist state was precisely the principle of social equality. However, with the transition of the former union republics from a socialist state to a capitalist (bourgeois) one, this principle was seriously transformed. In this regard, the article raises some aspects of the topic raised.
