Reflection On Digital Platform From The Perspective Of Machine View In The Capital

The capitalist application of machine and machine is one of the important themes of Marxist criticism of technology and political economics.In the era of digital economy,as a new form of production means,digital machines are different from those discussed by Marx in terms of form and characteristics.But in essence,digital machine still belongs to the category of machine discussed by Marx.Like traditional machines,digital machines have the nature of being the means of production.Therefore,Marx’s reflection on machine is also applicable to the interpretation of digital machines.With the increasing intelligence of digital machines,the application scenarios of digital machines in production and life are more and more abundant.With the aid of algorithm program,digital machines can better realize resource allocation and promote the further development of productivity.But because of the intelligent digital machine,it also causes a series of social problems: personal privacy leakage,information cocoon room,technical ethics and so on.As the core of digital technology development,digital platform is an important means of production in the new industry of digital economy.It connects the production and sales activities directly related to the platform.The digital platform transaction has gradually become the main body of market transaction.Therefore,this paper takes digital platform as the analysis object,and starts from Marx’s machine view in capital,and rethinks the nature of digital platform,the relationship between digital platform and laborer and the future development of the platform.This paper studies the method of literature,history and logic.First,through the analysis and sorting of the machine view in capital,the paper clarifies the concrete connotation and development process of Marx’s machine view,and distinguishes the different social consequences brought by the capitalist application of machines and machines.This paper discusses the characteristics of labor in the application of machines from three aspects: Labor commercialization,industrial reserve army and de skilled,and further analyzes the relationship between the free and all-round development of machines and people.Then,this paper compares the similarities and differences between the machine and the digital machine from the perspective of the background,function and operation mechanism,and summarizes the specific connotation of digital machine from the four dimensions of material attribute,production attribute,capital attribute and employment effect.Although the digital machine is different from the traditional machine in form,it still belongs to the category of machine in essence,both of which are the extension of human organs.Then,this paper focuses on a special digital system,digital platform,and discusses its connotation and characteristics.Taking takeout platform as the research object,this paper analyzes the new relationship between machine system and workers in the digital economy era.Finally,this paper explores the key and possible solutions to the problems of platform monopoly and disorderly expansion through the investigation of the industry form of the rider industry and the explanation and analysis of the contradiction between the platform and the rider.This is not only a new interpretation of Marx’s view of machine in the digital era,but also a possible path for the healthy and orderly development of digital economy.
