Methodological basis of the article is new dialectics of non-linear t ransformations, of genesis and «su nset» of social systems, which includes not only progress, but also regress, involution, reverse streams of the social time, counter-reforms and counter-revolutions. Author proves, that the failure of the fi rst attempt is not the evidence of the failure of the strategy of such transformation and use the parallel with the collapse of the fi rst attempts of «construction» of bourgeois world in Renaissance Italy, which were not the basis, proving the dead end character of capitalist project.
