Abstract
This paper develops from the marxist critique of social policy under capitalism a speculative picture of socialist social policy. It draws its ideas from: (a) socialist theory of the state, human nature, family life, and the relationship between need and resources (b) 'socialist' countries such as Russia and Cuba (c) struggles about welfare policies under capitalism. It attempts to answer a number of questions posed by the discipline of social administration about the nature of socialist social policy.Keywords
