Abstract
Objective of the study is to address the concept of K. Marx in the dichotomous vector of the sociological approach – Marxism and capitalism − in the context of social time and its reversibility.
The methodological basis of the research is based on the paradigm of social time, according to which all processes and phenomena of social life develop in a certain social space in three inextricably interrelated time modes: past, present and future. These modes largely determine social and ideological corrections, denial or recognition of the effectiveness of one or another macrotheory, which brings certain corrections to the present social time, to specific social conditions. Moreover, according to this theory, social time is reversible, historically reversible in its fundamental laws.
Research results. In the article, from the standpoint of Marxism and the paradigm of social time, the dialectical relationship of three issues is revealed: capitalism as a social world-system and Marxism as a methodology for its study; the struggle and unity of opposites as a dialectical path of development of specific (country) capitalism: the social dynamics of the development of capitalism as a world-system and a social lesson for political opponents.
Prospects of the study. The prospects for the development of global imperialism and capitalism as a world-system are connected with noospherism as a new worldview and the theoretical basis of the noospheric socialist revolution of the XXI century. The author believes that the theory of noospherism as one of the trajectories of the future development of a dichotomous world system (capitalist and socialist) is worthy of constructive sociological analysis in the mode of future social time.
