Marx’s critique of capital power has become a hot topic in contemporary academic research.From the perspective of Marxism,capital itself is a form of power.In modern society,capital power has become the dominant force,shaping the power structure of modern society and determining the overall form and direction of its evolution.The domination of capital and its accompanying power have brought significant progress and development to humanity,but behind this progress and development lies many deep-seated paradoxes.Therefore,the emergence and presence of Marx’s critique of capital power are of crucial importance.Marx’s turn towards the critique of capital power was not immediate.The first chapter of this paper provides a detailed account of Marx’s path towards his critique theory by examining the history of philosophy and ideas: from his critique of Hegelian legal philosophy to his critique of political economy,which ultimately led to a more profound critique of capital power.With regards to capital power,Marx proposed many original ideas.The second chapter of this paper provides a systematic account of the basic contents of capital power.Generation,expansion,and exaltation are the movement processes of capital power,and they form its internal mechanism.In the continuous movement process,capital power exhibits the concealment of its operation,the diffusion of its operational scope,and the cyclicality of its operation due to its regenerative nature.The critique of capital power can be broadly divided into three dimensions: economic,political,and cultural.Marx’s critique of capital power theory not only criticizes economic phenomena but also profoundly reveals the role and influence of the capital system in the political and cultural fields,providing us with in-depth thinking and guidance for understanding and transforming modern society.The third chapter of this paper focuses on some new trends and changes that have emerged in the global development of capital power since the 21 st century.Today’s world is characterized by trends such as financialization,globalization,and digitization,which make the operation mechanism of capital power more complex and diversified,and profound changes have taken place in the capital mode of production and social relations.At the same time,the new changes and mechanisms of capital power have also had a significant impact and challenge on the economy,politics,and culture,requiring careful analysis and consideration.According to Marxist theory of capital power critique,the operation and accumulation of capital in capital society generates immense power,which not only restricts the freedom of laborers but also profoundly affects the entire society.In China,with the development of market economy and capital accumulation,the issue of capital power has gradually emerged.In this context,Marxist theory of capital power critique provides us with a framework and tools for thinking,helping us to understand and analyze the nature,impact,and response strategies of capital power.At the same time,the critique of capital power reminds us to balance various interests while promoting economic development,and prevent the abuse of capital power and its adverse effects on society.Therefore,in the process of achieving sustainable development in China,the enlightenment of Marxist theory of capital power critique is of great significance.Chapter Four of this paper discusses the path and model that China has gradually explored under the guidance of Marxist ideology to transcend the domination of capital power. |
