Since the 21st century, the Western left has launched a radical criticism of contemporary capitalism and is committed to reconstructing communism. Autonomists focus on “general intelligence” and propose the concept of digital commonality and post Fordist communism; The radical left has launched a new communist “concept” based on criticism of the prospects of digital oddities, technological feudalism, digital surveillance technology, and cannibalistic capitalism; The political economy faction, based on the criticism of digital capitalism, constructed a vision of digital communism, fully automated luxury communism, and a “dystopian” digital intelligence; Left wing accelerationists have introduced acceleration, resonance, or deceleration schemes based on accelerated social criticism. The Western left’s digital reconstruction of communism is based on hyper historical assumptions, abstract politics, and mysticism, abandoning historical dialectics in methodology and falling into the “end of history theory”; In theory, abandoning the materialist conception of history and falling into a “technological utopia”; Abandoning the proletariat on the subject and falling into idealism. We should be alert to the communist “illusory theory”, “singularity theory” and “technological determinism” pursued by the western left wing, return to historical dialectics, firm confidence in the road, adhere to the party leadership, break the communist myth with Chinese path to modernization, and create a Chinese form of communist civilization.
