Description
Summary:The article deals with the attitude to the problem of gender in the first decades of the existence of the Soviet Republic – the position of the party (the Bolshevik project) and the utopian project of A. Bogdanov. Concepts have both similarities and differences. Both are based on the idea that it is possible to solve the problem only as a result of a change in the political system and the coming to power of the working masses and emphasizes the importance of labor and the principles of collectivism in the society being created. The project of A. Bogdanov is built on the basis of organizational theory, which is the basis of the society of the future, where social life is built on a strictly scientific basis. A special role is given to the organizational culture that forms a new person. The party position is based on the Marxist theory of gender and presupposes party control of all aspects of life, the subordination of personal interests to class interests, and the ideology of male superiority takes the form of constitutional or proclaimed equality.
