Reflections on Christian Fuchs'Critical Theory of Digital Labor
Digital information technology,represented by the Internet,has advanced rapidly and deeply penetrated into social production and life,and human labor has also been branded with digitalization.Christian Fuchs,based on this change,understands the source and flow of labor changes in the digital information age,analyzes the new labor subjects,forms,"deductions"and alienation in the digital age,and creatively proposes insights such as"Internet producers and consumers","unpaid digital labor"and"unlimited exploitation".He criticizes capitalism's use of digital platforms to oppress people,elucidates the liberation path of fighting for communism,and establishes a critique theory of digital labor with unique contemporary characteristics.Christian Fochs'research on digital labor has sparked heated discussions in academia,making Marxist political economy more truthful in the digital age and inspiring laborers in the digital age to think deeply.However,it is undeniable that he has some misunderstandings about Marx's controversy between productive and material labor,stops at criticism and analysis and revealed a slightly pessimistic attitude towards labor liberation in his research.
