The autocratic system is a fundamental element of function in societies and
their various organizations and institutions. The current global recession and economic
crisis are bringing a great deal of attention to the causes and mechanisms of these
phenomena, which are organically associated with the current development of autocratic
systems in the global society. In this work we present the abstract-syntactic model of the
main dynamic functions of autocratic systems, focused on the developmental cycle.
This model shows the general pathways of development of societies and reflects the
current reality very accurately. The transition from autocratic socio-economic systems
to alternatives based on social responsibility is, we hope, beginning to emerge.
