Abstract:
This article disentangles and explores some commonly made assumptions about egalitarian state-socialist ideologies. Based on the conceptual framework of the multiprinciple approach of justice, it presents the results of an in-depth analysis of (e)valuation patterns of distributive justice in state-socialism. The analysis mainly focuses on ideational conceptions of distributive justice (just rewards), but it also accounts for distribution outcomes and resulting (in)equalities (actual rewards). The results of the comparative case study of the framework of institutions and political leaders’ views in two periods of time, the early 1960s and the 20XXs, point to (e)valuation patterns that are generally labelled as egalitarian, such as the allocation rules of outcome equality and (non-functional) needs. I argue that many of these (e)valuation patterns, in their connection to the discursive storyline of the economic battle, are indeed compatible with egalitarian state-socialist ideology.
