数字地租、算法垄断与资本主义生产总过程理论的悖论审思兼论当代技术封建主义思潮

The Paradox of Digital Land Rent, Algorithmic Monopoly and the Theory of the Total Process of Capitalist ProductionOn the Contemporary Trend of Technological Feudalism

  • 摘要: 技术封建主义是近年来国外学者兴起的对资本主义的另类批判,通过“封建复归”的隐喻,揭示出数字资本主义的垄断性、寄生性与非生产性。为避免陷入“概念先行”的陷阱,从马克思资本主义批判理论视域对其基本逻辑进行解析具有深刻的现实意义。作为新兴的术语变革,在国内外学界具有较高研讨热度,整体呈现出从历史唯物主义视域下辨识“社会形态变迁”以及从政治经济学视域下考察“租金回返与寡头垄断”两条研究路径。技术封建主义思潮所宣扬的数字租金与“云封地”似乎正在取代资本主义的两大支柱——利润和市场。基于马克思资本主义生产总过程理论,从剩余价值颠倒为平均利润,利润颠倒为地租的“头足倒立”逻辑中,找到“地租一般”与超额剩余价值在资本运行中的理论在场。从资本主义市场悖论中,厘清云资本辖制下算法偏好控制对自由竞争与技术进步的灼伤。进一步明晰数字时代资本主义的深层危机,对于打破“技术乌托邦”迷思,直面算法控制与数据垄断的压迫性具有一定理论价值。

     

    Abstract: Technological feudalism is an alternative criticism of capitalism, which has been raised by foreign scholars in recent years. Through the metaphor of “feudal restoration”, it reveals the monopolistic, parasitic and unproductive nature of digital capitalism. In order to avoid falling into the trap of “concept first”, it is of profound practical significance to analyze the basic logic of Marxist capitalism from the perspective of its critical theory. As a new term reform, it has a high research heat in the academic circles at home and abroad, showing two research paths of identifying “social form change”from the perspective of historical materialism and “rent return and oligopoly”from the perspective of political economy. The digital rents and “cloud fiefdoms”of techno-feudalism seem to be replacing the two pillars of capitalism: profits and markets. Based on the theory of the total process of production of Marxist capitalism, from the “upside down”logic that surplus value is reversed into average profit and profit is reversed into land rent, the theoretical presence of “general land rent”and excess surplus value in the operation of capital is found. From the paradox of capitalist market, clarify the burning of algorithmic preference control under the domination of cloud capital to free competition and technological progress. Further clarifying the deep crisis of capitalism in the digital age has certain theoretical value for breaking the myth of “techno utopia”and confronting the oppression of algorithmic control and data monopoly.
