Social justice and progress in the digital era: A comparative study of socialism and capitalism

Abstract

 Based on the thought of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Vladimir Lenin 
regarding the inherently unjust and alienating nature of labor–capital relations, this article 
analyzes emerging forms of inequality in digital capitalism, particularly the accumulation 
of super-profits by technology corporations, data exploitation, and the deepening of social 
stratification. It also examines the perspective of the Communist Party of Vietnam on 
integrating science and technology development and digital transformation with the 
promotion of social equity and progress, aiming to ensure that all citizens can participate 
in and benefit from development outcomes in the digital era.
