Research On The New Characteristics Of Digital Capitalist Production Mode

The wave of digitalization has almost completely transformed modern life.This transformation is not only manifested in the digital empowerment of traditional capitalism,but also in the penetration,control and transformation of all aspects of social life.Digitization,digital technology and digital capital are no longer an incidental product of technological progress,but have gradually become a relatively independent dominant force,which has also led to the formation of "digital capitalism" in contemporary Western capitalist society.The mode of production of digital capitalism must be examined separately in order to explore the new characteristics of the elements,links and corresponding social effects in the capitalist production process.The study of digital capitalist production mode starts with digital commodities.As a labor product that is essentially information,digital commodities are also a use value for exchange.Therefore,digital commodities must be part of the wealth of human society,not a false economy.But at the same time,the zero-cost characteristic of digital products in repeated production has caused an impact on the law of value,but this impact is only formal,because it essentially causes the isolation of the social attributes of the commodity itself and the calculation of the price of a single commodity The paradox between positions,the value determination of digital goods is still within the scope of the law of value.As the source of digital products,digital labor is the core link in digital capitalism.In addition to general wage labor,digital labor has also developed a variety of new production relations.Although they have brought partial progress,their essence based on the capitalist employment and exploitation system has not changed.The form of labor has become relatively hidden,and the great flexibility of labor has made people ignore the replacement of the fixed wage system by the piecework wage system.Digital capitalism not only deepens exploitation in the production process,but also expands exploitation in daily life,and this exploitation is based on the possession of the platform.Therefore,the relations of production of digital capitalism,on the whole,are just the deformation and concealment of capitalist relations of production,which itself does not go beyond the scope of capitalism.The private ownership of means of production based on private ownership of digital platforms is a concentrated reflection of the new characteristics of the production mode of digital capitalism.
