Abstract

As the rule of capital in the digital age becomes increasingly concealed, and as life dimensions such as education, health, and time have all been reduced to arenas of value extraction, this work, rooted in Marxist political economy, breaks free from the traditional analytical framework centered on "ownership of means of production" and puts forward a groundbreaking core thesis—contemporary capital has completed an ascended rule from "possessing things" to "colonizing life," with its core object of domination shifting from "means of production" to "the production and reproduction of labor power." A distinctive highlight of this work lies in constructing a triadic dialectically linked framework of "Actual Control Capacity over the Means of Production—Production Integrity—Actual Control Capacity over the Production of Labor Power." It profoundly analyzes the alienated nature of the commercialization of labor power, reveals the core contradiction between the capitalist socialized large-scale production and the capitalist private control over labor power production, and provides a brand-new theoretical perspective for understanding the new forms of exploitation under digital capitalism. Meanwhile, centering on the core goal of "abolishing the commercialization of labor power," the work systematically outlines a two-stage emancipatory program of "political revolution + social revolution." Grounded in the specific practical context of nation-states while embracing the dimension of class solidarity from a global perspective, it closely integrates theoretical criticism with emancipatory paths, boasting both ideological depth and practical enlightenment. Two important derivative books related to this work are included in the attached .zip file for reference.
