This study is an attempt to analyze the logic of technological progress critically within the context of the concept Industry 4.0 (thereafter I4.0). In this study, I4.0 and its subcomponents are considered as new discursive tools of technology driven strategies imposed by corporations and the public institutions. This study underlines that technological advancements should not be considered as neutral developments targeting the well-being of all. Since the companies and profit-driven public institutions try to find the ways of the possible benefits of the I4.0 debate, this study draws attention to the necessity of alternative strategies to prevent capitalist hegemony on technological advancements. This article also underlines that technological advancements manipulated by the ruling class segments of the world should be taken into account as one of the causes creating cross-country inequalities and intra-working class conflicts. On the other hand, a potential road map for pro-labor organizations—those which can take responsibilities for the working class struggle—in developing strategies to take the advantage of technological novelties for the benefit of all is discussed in the article. To sum up, it departs to analyze the concept I4.0 and the related issues with a critical perspective.

工业4.0背景下资本主义下的技术进步逻辑

本研究试图在工业 4.0（以下简称 I4.0）概念的背景下批判性地分析技术进步的逻辑。在这项研究中，I4.0 及其子组件被视为公司和公共机构实施的技术驱动战略的新话语工具。这项研究强调，不应将技术进步视为针对所有人福祉的中立发展。由于公司和以利润为导向的公共机构试图找到 I4.0 辩论可能带来的好处的方式，本研究提请注意替代策略的必要性，以防止资本主义对技术进步的霸权。本文还强调，应将世界统治阶级部分操纵的技术进步视为造成跨国不平等和工人阶级内部冲突的原因之一。另一方面，文章讨论了亲工组织（那些可以为工人阶级斗争负责的组织）制定战略以利用技术创新造福所有人的潜在路线图。综上所述，本文以批判的眼光来分析I4.0的概念及相关问题。文章讨论了亲劳工组织（那些可以为工人阶级斗争负责的组织）制定战略以利用技术创新造福所有人的潜在路线图。综上所述，本文以批判的眼光来分析I4.0的概念及相关问题。文章讨论了亲劳工组织（那些可以为工人阶级斗争负责的组织）制定战略以利用技术创新造福所有人的潜在路线图。综上所述，本文以批判的眼光来分析I4.0的概念及相关问题。
