Abstract

Title in Chinese: 无产阶级的解放新路径——夺回劳动力生产的实际掌控 This study centers on the core proposition of "reclaiming the Actual Control Capacity over the Production of Labor Power" and explores a new path for proletarian emancipation in the contemporary context. Based on the fundamental principles of Marxist political economy, it systematically analyzes the deepening and reconstruction of capitalism’s fundamental contradictions in the digital age—reconstructing the contradiction as the opposition between "the systematic existential dependence of capitalist socialized large-scale production on the commercialization of labor power" and "the capitalist private control over the entire process of labor power production and reproduction". The research reveals the inherent logical connection between the loss of labor power production control and the escalation of capitalist contradictions, and further clarifies the historical evolution of contradictions from "the private ownership of material means of production" to "the private control of labor power production". By combing the evolutionary logic of capital accumulation, labor process transformation, and control mechanism reconfiguration, it constructs a theoretical framework for the proletariat to reclaim practical control over labor power production, providing a new analytical perspective for understanding modern capitalist operation laws and promoting the cause of proletarian emancipation.
