Three theoretical models of contemporary digital socialism: analysis and evaluation

Abstract

The increasingly pervasive penetration of digital technologies into production 
processes and social life has fundamentally transformed the mode of production, while si
multaneously catalyzing the emergence of socialist theoretical discourses within this new 
context. Theories such as “Digital Socialism,” “Cyber-Communism,” and “Communicative 
Socialism,” characterized by their keen insights, have captured the revolutionary elements 
of the digital transition within capitalist society and forecasted future societal development 
trends. However, the practical impact of these theories on capitalist institutions has, to date, 
remained relatively limited.
