With the advent of the new technological revolution,the digital economy is booming and driving the digital transformation of society,and capitalism has entered the era of "digital capitalism".In the process of widespread application of digital technology,a new form of labor-digital labor-has emerged.However,digital labor has not escaped the fate of alienation under the logic of capital,and its form of alienation has become more hidden.How to understand and grasp the essence of digital labor alienation in the era of digital capitalism,and how to find a reasonable path to break the alienation of digital labor,are important theoretical and practical issues that we cannot avoid at this stage.With digital labor alienation as the core topic,this paper aims to critically examine the generation mechanism,concrete manifestations and power roots of digital labor alienation in order to explore a reasonable path to break the dilemma of digital labor alienation.Based on this,this paper tries to ask and answer the following two questions: Why does digital labor become alienated? And how to break the alienation of digital labor? In order to promote the in-depth study of labor alienation in the era of digital capital.The digital capitalist society is the background of the generation of digital labor alienation,and digital labor is the ontology of the alienation dilemma faced in the digital era.By elucidating the generation mechanism and characteristics of digital capitalism and concluding that digital capitalism is a new stage in the development of capitalism,we explore the roots of the generation of digital labor alienation in the context of the times.By exploring the origin of the concept of digital labor and revealing the productive nature of digital labor,we can clarify the reality that the vast number of digital laborers are still under brutal exploitation.It is under the elaborate labor mechanism of digital capital that every real subject of life and the globalized socio-political and economic order in which we live are truly controlled by digital capital,and the plight of digital labor alienation is thus constantly reinforced and obscured.To analyze the logic of digital labor alienation,we must first analyze the material basis of digital labor alienation and outline the specific manifestations of digital labor alienation in the context of the real situation of digital labor in digital capital society,so as to give contemporary connotation to Marx’s theory of alienated labor.The path analysis of digital labor alienation is carried out in the capitalist production process to reveal the social reality obscured by the master of digital capital.At the same time,to explore the generation mechanism of digital labor alienation,we must further analyze digital capital power in depth.Digital capital power is the result of the collusion between capital logic and technology logic.Capital logic drives technological innovation to achieve value multiplication,while digital technology is an important driving force for digital capital accumulation,while digital capital power itself is hidden behind the complex social relations of modern society,and then uses hidden and non-institutional means of control to function.At the same time,to explore the issue of "capital power" in the context of modern society,it is also necessary to go deeper into the operation of modern society,to explore the life politics dimension of capital power,and then to explore how the life politics is accompanied by the expansion of capital power and the means of regulation,so as to see how the capital power can be controlled through In this way,we can see how the power of capital deprives human life and legitimizes capital’s encroachment on politics through the covert means of "commodification of labor".Abandoning the alienation of digital labour is not only an abstract assertion in philosophical theory,but also exists in the process of constructing a new form of human civilisation.To resolve the contemporary crisis of digital labour alienation,it is necessary to return to Marx’s classic texts in order to explore and analyse the assertions of classic Marxist writers,and to reveal the historical inevitability of the dissolution of alienated digital labour from the laws of human social development revealed by Marx.At the same time,it is also necessary to start from the social existence of digital capitalism and look for ways to unleash the potential of digital technology,actively abandon private property and unite the contemporary proletariat in the social reality of digital capitalism,so as to perceive the latent possibilities of non-alienated digital labour in reality.As the world enters a digital phase,Chinese path to modernization is inevitably entwined with the social reality of Western digital capitalism.Developing a digital economy is an important choice for China to seize the high ground of future development,and digital labour is an important source of value creation in the era of digital economy.Therefore,on the basis of revealing the dilemma of digital labour alienation under digital capitalism,it is also necessary to focus on the practical process of building a "digital China" in China,not only to summarize and learn from the reasonable contents of the development of digital economy in Western countries,but also to explore realistic ways to solve the crisis of digital labour alienation in the Chinese solution.The ultimate goal is to build a healthy digital economy so that it contributes to the Chinese path to modernization.
