Summary/Abstract: The labour constitution of the society signifies that labour is the foundation of social relations, and at the same time the medium of mutual relationships of individuals as workers. Such a social constitution entails a form of self-management democracy wherein demos is the community of producers and kreatein autonomous decision-making on the conditions of their common life. To understand the political reality of the socialist society it is important to recognize the dialectic duality of the management subjectivity of producers. Self-management establishes mechanisms for the direct manifestation of the management subjectivity of producers: direct decision-making in organisations of associated labour and delegational decision-making in socio-political communities. The obstacles to the formulation and expression of the class will of producers in socialist society stem from the material base of commodity production, which gives rise to an empiric pluralism of the management will of producers which is not identical with their class will.
