B. Deacon,' Social administration, social policy and socialism', Critical Social Policy, 1, 1, 1981, p.46. Deacon, in an otherwise stimulating paper, inexplicably says that he is concerned with the developed communist stage rather than with the more problematic socialistic transition. In communist society, with the withering away of the state, social policy will largely take care of itself. Moreover, no existing 'socialist' society claims to have reached the communist stage. Therefore Deacon, in drawing examples from these countries, is in fact discussing the transitionary socialist stage.
